This will inevitably conclude with your employer settling a claim of retaliatory treatment subsequent to reporting sexual harassment for a sum of +/- $500k and with you being fired. Your competent legal advisor will, accordingly, recommend against retaliating against the reporting employee, even if you consider this issue beneath your notice. The laws of the United States on this matter are relatively well-settled and they do not agree with your opinion on this matter.

I hope you are joking. You expressed no interest in "babysitting grown children", and then suggested that you yourself would proceed with a course of action that would be appropriate only for a grown child.

If that's your plan I wouldn't go around posting about it.

an impossible project is also retaliation. your scheme is actually worse than transparently firing the harassed employee, as it costs you extra salary, in addition to the lawsuit.
