Not long ago, a reporter once received a telephone call from an unnamed woman. She said that during her tenure in a French company where she had already worked for three years, her new male superior, on the pretext of discussing work matters, asked her to go to his single-person dormitory. After she refused him, it just happened to be the time at year's end when her contract was to be renewed. Then this superior spread the word that he would not renew her contract.
