No Repercussions for Party Bob... :-(


Hi:

I think it's sad that there is no penalty shown for Party Bob, the lech who sexually harasses Tess in the limo. 😩

So the creep snorts coke in front of her, sprays champagne all over her, buries his nose in her cleavage and shows her porn...

And soon after, Tess is the one being scolded by Olympia Dukakis's character - who I think works for the personnel dept. of the company? - and being warned, "This is the last time I can place/help you."

Granted Tess should have not have posted the message that her boss was a "sleazoid pimp" on the electronic billboard.

But I still think it's sad that the movie never deals with her sexual harassment by Party Bob and her boss who placed her in that situation. Tess probably knew she wouldn't get any support from HR if she reported it. 😞

What do you think?
