New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he would step down in two weeks after figures as prominent as President Joe Biden called for his resignation, state legislators pursued an impeachment inquiry, and county prosecutors launched criminal investigations.
Three-term New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he would resign Tuesday amid growing appetite for his ouster, one week after a state attorney general report found he had harassed at least 11 women and run afoul of state and federal sexual-harassment laws.
The governor, who has denied some of the harassment allegations while maintaining that some of his behavior was “misinterpreted,” said he would “step aside” to avoid protracted political and legal battles that would “consume government” and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. As Cuomo prepares to step down, it’s worth knowing how to handle workplace sexual harassment if it happens to you. Experts spoke with MarketWatch about what to do if you find yourself fending off sexual harassment — physical or verbal — from a coworker or boss. Here’s what they said:
Document requests for sexual favors, retaliation that resulted from your not giving in, lost opportunities and any other offenses, and save emails that might help make a case, said employment lawyer Davida Perry, a partner at Schwartz, Perry & Heller. Remember that HR isn’t necessarily your friend “Their role is to protect the company and their role is to conduct what they believe to be an impartial investigation,” Brantner said. “If you decide to go that route, you should be aware that even under policies where companies are supposed to do an investigation, they may not talk to everyone that you recommend, they may not be very thorough and they may not be very impartial.
