Yes. It has made people more aware of sexual abuse or discrimination happening in the work place towards women, and has made it easier for women to come forward regarding such abuse.
While women have been trying hard to be treated equally, hardly anything has been improved.
Just from simple awareness that men can lose their livelihood.
As a female I find the #metoo movement to be bulls!it. I have seen just as many women say inappropriate things as men and sometimes they are even worse because they are "just kidding". How about we just all be grownups at work, not be overly sensitive/looking for things to complain about, and behave appropriately?
Gotten worse. Men are afraid to interact in a friendly manner
No change as our company is 90% female co-workers, very few males.
This is a joke, right? The movement hasn’t done anything to improve the situation at work.
no change
I work with alot of women (and other marginalized folk like LGBTQ+) so work has rarely been an issue for me in that area. But definitely some of the random comments and bad taste jokes from the few men that would occasionally pop up have died down. Alot of our older, mostly male, directors have retired or left the company, too. So the comments or jokes that they used to make, don't happen anymore either. But I KNOW my work environment is not the norm.
Not really, no.
Some places, it has not.
It hasn't
It's worse, for sure.
I feel it’s made it worse. For the first time in my 20 plus working career. I as a female have been made to put in dangerous “security guard” type situations since my male coworker quit last month. I don’t feel I would have ever been put in a situation like this before. My male supervisor said it was part of my job but never was before the male coworker quit. I actually was just fired tonight for refusing to put myself in danger. I feel like a lot of men in authoritative positions resent women for me too and if you don’t let them know from the start that you’re the type that will be “ok” with harassment and sexual advances. Watch out! Your Jobs on the line. Take it from me first hand. There’s no such thing as just keeping your head down and doing your job anymore. You have to be part of the boys club.
It has made men Not want to work closely with women. It has caused men not to trust women in the workplace.
Very little - just cosmetic changes
It hasn’t. Now that men are more afraid of being implicated for harassment, it is easier for them to just ignore us and keep us from being part of project teams. In a male dominant industry, this is a step backwards for women.
It wasn’t really affected by the #metoo movement
It hasn't
I have not noticed any changes. No issues before or after this so-called movement. Our area of the country has far fewer cultural drama as does other parts of the country.
no idea about that. It looks equal to me.
I work in Healthcare. Lots of women everywhere. Here was already improved
The environment seems equal
It might have in some cases, but in many cases, it's just another layer of political correctness that results in more division and paranoia. Until companies embrace the benefits of equality from the top down, "movements" aren't very helpful.
No change - the typical American workplace stopped enabling harassment in the 1980s.
Very little change.
No impact. Harassment is not ethical in the first place and not tolerated. We have a safe work environment for all.
I think it has hurt it. Some are using it as a crutch when they are the poor performers. Making up or seeing issues that don’t exist.
It has not improve, it is worse. The good men are afraid to have one on one with their felmale counter parts. Some of the actions are too long...25 30 years. Seems eveyone wants the same thing......MONEY PAYOUT
It has created fairness in the workplace and it can level the playing field sort of speaking.
HA! Not really. Men that were already aware are more aware and in some cases more sensitive. Men predisposed to being thoughtless and uncaring just talk about how they don't get it more than they used to.
More social awareness around the fact that it's "not just happening to you", which makes it slightly easier to report something when you have an issue.
Some guys think it’s about time, and some guys still don’t get it- they think of they breathe in the wrong direction they’re going to get slapped with a lawsuit.
yes
I don't see any difference. We didn't have a problem here at work anyway.
Yes many folks including women are more neutral to gender and the pay gap has reduced
No. It seems as though there is a general attitude that those are problems that "other firms have". In trying to develop an inclusive environment that leverages implicit bias training, I am met with resistance because leadership feels it isn't necessary and that I am bandwagoning.
I haven't perceived any significant change
No, it wasn't bad before the movement 99% of the time.
