He also said that the woman and the man would get along well, as she said she liked chicken. He added that the man and woman shared the same food preferences.As news of the situation spread within the company, the management separated the two and placed the department head on probation for three days.
The appeals court also found the department head guilty of using inappropriate language that caused her to feel sexually humiliated, in violation of the Equal Employment Act.
