Facebook's Sandberg Warns of Backlash Against Women

by Associated Press

   NEW YORK --

   Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg is warning of a
   potential backlash against women and is urging companies to put into
   place clear policies on how allegations of sexual harassment are
   handled.

   In a Facebook post over the weekend, Sandberg that she has experienced
   harassment while doing her job but never by anyone she's worked for.
   The Facebook executive said "too many workplaces lack clear policies
   about how to handle accusations of sexual harassment."
   She recommends every workplace start with clear principles and put in
   place policies to support them. That includes creating training
   sessions on proper workplace behavior, taking all claims seriously,
   establishing an investigation process and taking swift, decisive action
   against wrongdoing.

   Sandberg said she hopes the "#metoo" movement will result in a
   stronger, more equitable workplace.
