HUGGING POLICY ENFORCED! After the firing of Matt Lauer, NBC has stricten their anti-sexual harassment rules for employees.
One of the rules requires employees to alert their superiors in the case that any sexual misconduct has occurred.
The rules are guidelines for employee to interact/socialize in the office and how to hug a fellow employee. One source told PageSix:
Romantic relationships at work are not exactly unusual, but now NBC says it is taking a zero-tolerance approach. Staffers have been told that if they find out about any affairs, romances, inappropriate relationships or behavior in the office, they have to report it to human resources, their superior or the company anti-harassment phone line. Staffers are shocked that they are now expected to snitch on their friends. […] Plus, there’s been a series of ridiculous rules issued on other office conduct. One rule relates to hugging. If you wish to hug a colleague, you have to do a quick hug, then an immediate release, and step away to avoid body contact.
The new employee interaction guidelines requires any person who does not report inappropriate action will be considered complicit in the act and furthermore considered concealing for the culprit.
