The very first thing that occurred to me upon reading this account of harassment is that the "high performer" deflection is complete and utter bullshit, and should be called out loudly for what it is.

I don't care of you're Thomas Edison, James Watson, or Nikola Tesla. Sending sexually-oriented messages to women in your workplace ever, let alone the first day that person is on board, is completely unacceptable and any "bro" who thinks it's OK ought to be subject to a zero-tolerance policy.
