County harassment trainer let go after harassment complaints
EVERETT, WA An employee who was supposed to ensure that Snohomish County provided a workplace free of harassment and offensive behavior was let go at the beginning of the year for conduct other county employees considered harassing and offensive.
Staff complained about remarks that Equal Employment Opportunity officer Tony Robertson made while leading training sessions.
During one session, Robertson suggested that a female employee had a coughing fit because he had that effect on women, according to an investigators report. He offended staff at another presentation by using the word retarded.
