    • 2017 May 24, Ronald A. Pink, “#WorkLawWednesday: Why Does the Harassee Always Pay the Price?”, in Pink Larkin[1]:
      All the eyes focus on the harasser. However, the person affected, the harassee, is often left behind. The harassee is most often a second thought. Employers may say “don’t forget about the harassee”, or “we must check on the how the harassee is doing”, but that is insufficient.
