If you were as depressed as I was when you found out about Matt Lauer and the allegations against him of sexual harassment, this is a great article for you. I decided to focus on the positive of this situation, which is that not all men are like Lauer. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that MOST men at your workplace are good guys. Here is my Love Essentially column, published in the Chicago Tribune Pioneer Press.
Easy To Find The Anti-Matt Lauer Men In The Workplace by Jackie Pilossoph for Chicago Tribune Media Group
Where in the world is Matt Lauer? A better question is, What in the world was Matt Lauer thinking?

Well this is news to me! I don’t watch mainstream news so I hadn’t heard of this. I never liked Matt Lauer, I remember when he first came on the Today show (back when I was subjected to the news because of the man in the house) I thought he was creepy back then. I agree, I think most men are not creeps like that.
