Harvard Business Review
Scores of recent stories have exposed the pervasiveness of sexual harassment in industries such as Hollywood, tech, politics, and academia. Less attention has been given to lower-paying jobs, such as those in the service and hospitality industry, where the problem runs rampant.
More sexual harassment claims in the U.S. are filed in the restaurant industry than in any other, where as many as 90 percent of women and 70 percent of men reportedly experience some form of sexual harassment. While the industry has had its share of high-profile stories (with a number of well-known chefs and TV personalities being accused of inappropriate behavior), even more insidious is the routine harassment of service workers by managers, coworkers, and, importantly, customers.

Have you ever RSVP’d “yes” to a networking event and then been too anxious to attend?
It happens to the best of us.
If you do a quick search for “networking anxiety,” Google answers with 34,000,000 results. “Practice and prepare,” advises one. “See it as a numbers game,” another cynically suggests.
While tips like these may minimize butterflies, they give me pause. If networking brings about intense anxiety for so many of us, then why do it? Sure, connecting with people is a key aspect of building a career. But should connection be a detriment to mental health?
