#QuidProQuo

[pennsyltuckyheathen]

🙄 😲 After offering a quid pro quo to oil executives earlier in May to eliminate environmental regulations and do absolutely nothing regarding climate change for $1 billion donation, TraitorTrump does the same for fascist MAGA elites promising them tax cuts for $25 million donations 🙄😲

What Are Examples Of Quid Pro Quo Harassment In The Workplace

Quid pro quo harassment in the workplace occurs when an individual in a position of power demands or requests sexual favours in exchange for job-related benefits or privileges. This type of harassment can take many forms and can happen to anyone, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. 

Example #1 

One example of quid pro quo harassment is when a supervisor tells an employee that they will only receive a promotion or raise if they agrees to go on a date with them. This is an abuse of power and is unacceptable in any workplace. 

Example #2 

Another example of quid pro quo harassment is when a manager tells an employee that they will only be given certain assignments or opportunities if they agree to engage in sexual acts with them. This is also a clear abuse of power and can have a detrimental effect on the employee’s career. 

Example #3 

A third example of quid pro quo harassment is when an employee is told that they will be fired or demoted if they don’t comply with their boss’s sexual advances. This is a particularly harmful form of harassment, as it puts the employee in an impossible position and can lead to a loss of income and job security. 

Example #4 

It is important to note that quid pro quo harassment can also happen between co-workers. For example, if a colleague offers to help a co-worker with a project or task in exchange for sexual favours, this is also considered quid pro quo harassment. 

It is important for employers to have a clear policy against quid pro quo harassment and to provide training to employees and managers on what constitutes quid pro quo harassment and how to prevent it. Employees should also be made aware of the process for reporting harassment and the steps that will be taken to investigate and address any complaints. 

It’s everyone’s responsibility to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. No one should have to endure quid pro quo harassment or any other form of harassment to succeed in their job. If you or someone you know is experiencing quid pro quo harassment, it’s important to speak up and take action to stop it.

التعرف على هجوم المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo) وطرق فعّالة لحماية نفسك منه

فجأةً، تتلقى رسالة مشؤومة. يدَّعي المرسل المجهول أنك مدين بالمال أو أنَّ أحد أفراد أسرتك في ورطة. وما لم تدفع المبلغ أو تُقدم تفاصيل شخصية، فإنه يُهدد بتعرضك للعواقب. أمر مُقلق، على أقل تقدير. تتزايد التهديدات السيبرانية بشكل مُستمر مع إنتقالنا إلى العالم الرقمي، حيث يبحث المُهاجمون عن فرص للاستفادة من ضعف الأمان وسرقة المعلومات الحساسة. ومن بين هذه التهديدات، يبرز هجوم المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo) كأحد الأشكال الخبيثة التي يستخدمها المُهاجمون للتلاعب بالضحية وسرقة المعلومات. هل سبق لك أن سمعت عن هذا النوع من الهجمات؟ وهل تعرف كيف يُمكنك الحماية منه بفعالية؟ في هذا المقال، سنقوم بالتعرف على هجوم المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo) وكيفية عمله. سنستكشف تفاصيل هذا النوع من الهجمات وكيفية تنفيذها من قبل المُهاجمين. ولكن لا تقلق، فلدينا أيضًا خطة دقيقة للدفاع ضد هذا الهجوم الخبيث. تحقق من ما هو حقن البرمجيات الخبيثة في العمليات وكيف يُمكنك منعه؟

شرح هجوم المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo)

تشير العبارة اللاتينية “Quid Pro Quo” إلى تبادل القيمة — الحصول على شيء مُقابل شيء آخر. في سياق الهجمات أو عمليات الاحتيال، يكون لنظام المُقايضة بعض الاختلافات: - الابتزاز: يصل المُهاجم إلى بيانات شخصية حساسة أو يدَّعي أنه يمتلكها مثل الصور أو الرسائل أو سجل التصفح. ويُهدد بنشر المعلومات علنًا ما لم يدفع الضحية فدية. - الهندسة الاجتماعية: يقوم المُهاجم باختلاق سيناريو عاجل مثل فاتورة الطوارئ أو فاتورة حساسة للوقت. حيث يُحاول التتلاعب بالضحية لإرسال الأموال على الفور أو تقديم معلومات شخصية. - الرشوة/الهدايا: يُقدم المهاجم للضحية مدفوعات مالية أو هدايا أو إمكانية الوصول إلى فرص حصرية أو مزايا أخرى مُقابل بيانات حساسة وصور/مقاطع فيديو غير مُناسبة واجتماعات وما إلى ذلك. القاسم المشترك هو أنَّ المهاجم يطلب من الضحية التخلي عن شيء ذي قيمة للحصول على شيء في المقابل، مما يُؤدي غالبًا إلى الاحتيال المالي أو سرقة الهوية أو الاستغلال.

كيف تستهدف هجمات المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo) الضحايا؟

على الرغم من أنَّ هذه الهجمات تحدث غالبًا عبر الإنترنت، إلا أنه يُمكن للمُهاجمين استخدام عدة وسائل. 1. المكا��مات الهاتفية

لسوء الحظ، لا تزال هجمات المُقايضة عبر الهاتف شائعة جدًا. يتظاهر المُتصل بأنه شخص ذو سلطة ويضغط على الضحية للقيام بشيء غير لائق أو غير قانوني. وهنا بعض الأمثلة: - مكالمة وكيل مصلحة الضرائب المُزيفة: يقول هذا الشخص إنه من مصلحة الضرائب وأنك مدين بضرائب مُتأخرة. حيث يُهددك بالاعتقال أو بمشاكل قانونية أخرى إذا لم تدفع المبلغ على الفور عبر الهاتف. عملية احتيال كاملة! مصلحة الضرائب لا تُصدر تهديدات عبر الهاتف من هذا القبيل. - مكالمة مُزوِّد الخدمة المُزيفة: يتصل شخص ما مُتظاهرًا بأنه من شركة خدمات أو مُزوِّد خدمة آخر. يزعم أنه سيتم إيقاف خدمتك ما لم تدفع فاتورة متأخرة على الفور أو تُقدم معلومات شخصية. من الأفضل أن تقوم بإغلاق الخط والاتصال بالشركة مُباشرةً. - مكالمة الطوارئ العائلية المزيفة: يتظاهر المُحتال بأنه فرد من العائلة أو صديق تعرض لحادث أو مشكلة قانونية. حيث يطلب منك تحويل الأموال على الفور للمساعدة. تحقق دائمًا من حالة الطوارئ عن طريق الاتصال بالعائلة الأخرى أو بالمستشفى قبل إرسال الأموال. القاسم المُشترك هو أنَّ المُتصل يخلق إحساسًا بالإلحاح والخوف ليجعلك تتصرف بتهور قبل التحقق من التفاصيل. تحقق من أفضل تطبيقات تسجيل المكالمات لنظام Android التي يجب عليك استخدامها. 2. تطبيقات البريد الإلكتروني والمُراسلة

يُعد البريد الإلكتروني أحد أكثر وسائل هجوم المُقايضة شيوعًا. يُمكن للمهاجم أن يوجه طلباته بسهولة إلى أعداد كبيرة من الضحايا. إحدى الرسائل الشائعة للمُهاجم هي رسالة بريد إلكتروني تُفيد بأنَّ لديه معلومات مُحرجة أو خاصة عنك. سيُهدد عادةً بنشرها بين عامة الناس ما لم تدفع أو تفعل ما يطلبه منك. وهذا على الأرجح ليس أكثر من مُجرد ابتزاز. من الأفضل حذف هذا النوع من الرسائل وتجنب التفاعل معها. ربما يكون المُهاجم مخادعًا ويُريد فقط إخافتك حتى تمتثل. الحيلة الأخرى هي التصيد للحصول على معلومات حساسة مثل كلمات السر أو تفاصيل بطاقات الائتمان. قد تدَّعي رسالة البريد الإلكتروني وجود مشكلة في أحد حساباتك والتي تحتاج إلى التحقق منها بشكل عاجل. لكن في الواقع، يُريد المُتسلل منك فقط إدخال بياناتك على موقعه المُزيف. لا تأخذ الطعم! قم بتسجيل الدخول مباشرة على موقع الويب الرسمي للمنصة بدلاً من النقر على أي روابط مقدمة عبر البريد الإلكتروني. يلعب البعض من المُتسللين على التعاطف ويطلبون بطاقات الهدايا أو تحويلات الأموال للمساعدة في بعض حالات الطوارئ أو سوء الحظ. حيث يقولون أنهم سوف يُسددون لك المبلغ عندما يستطيعون ذلك، ولكن يُمكنك توديع هذا المال بمجرد إرساله إليهم. مثل البريد الإلكتروني، تُوفر تطبيقات المراسلة للمُهاجمين وسيلة للاتصال الجماهيري الفعَّال. يُمكنهم إرسال التهديدات وتعليمات الدفع مُباشرةً إلى هاتفك. الحميمية في التواصل عبر الرسائل النصية كوسيلة يُمكن أن تجعل هذه الهجمات تبدو أكثر انتهاكًا وضغطًا. الشيء الرئيسي هو عدم إرسال أموال أو معلومات حساسة أبدًا إلى أشخاص عشوائيين عبر الرسائل النصية أو البر��د الإلكتروني. 3. مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي ومواقع التعارف

تُعد منصات التواصل الاجتماعي والمواعدة بمثابة منجم ذهب لجمع البيانات الحساسة والحرجة لمُختلف الأشخاص. قد يُلاحق مهاجم “المقايضة” ملفاتك الشخصية ونشاطك للوصول إلى أي شيء قد يكون مُحرجًا. يُمكنه إرسال رسائل مباشرة مُخيفة إليك تعدك بتقديم خدمات أو فوائد مقابل الحصول على صور خاصة ومحادثات ولقاءات وما إلى ذلك. ومن الأفضل عدم التعامل مع هذه الأنواع من الطلبات المشبوهة. لا شيء جيد يُمكن أن يأتي من مزاح الأشخاص ذوي النوايا السيئة. قد تُواجه أيضًا حسابات تقدم الهدايا أو التبرعات أو العروض الترويجية أو مُقدمات حول الأشخاص ذوي النفوذ، ولكن فقط إذا فعلت شيئًا أولاً. كن حذرًا، لأن هذه العروض التي لا يُمكن تصديقها هي على الأرجح مُحاولات للاستفادة منك. قد تبدو الحسابات المُزيفة التي تتظاهر بأنها علامات تجارية أو مشاهير أو كيانات أخرى تطلب الإعجابات والمشاركة وإعادة النشر مقابل منتجات وخدمات مجانية ونفوذ وما إلى ذلك، تكون جذابة. ولكن من الأفضل عادةً تجنب المشاركة في هذه الأساليب التلاعبية، حتى بالنسبة للأشياء المجانية. حتى الأصدقاء أو المعارف قد يضغطون عليك لتقديم خدمات غير مُناسبة قبل دعمك بالمتابعة والإعجابات والتعليقات والمزيد. عندما يأتي الدعم مصحوبًا بشروط غير صحية، فقد يكون الوقت قد حان لإعادة التفكير في تلك العلاقات.

كيف تحمي نفسك من هجمات المُقايضة (Quid Pro Quo)

هناك الكثير من الأشخاص الغامضين على الويب في الوقت الحاضر. لذا، من المُهم معرفة كيفية حماية نفسك من هجمات المقايضة. أول الأشياء، اليقظة هي المفتاح. كن حذرًا جدًا من أي رسائل بريد إلكتروني أو مُكالمات أو رسائل مباشرة عشوائية وما إلى ذلك، والتي تقدم عروضًا أو تهديدات جريئة. تحقق من العلامات الواضحة لعملية الاحتيال، مثل الإلحاح والتفاصيل غير الواضحة والأخطاء الإملائية والنحوية وما إلى ذلك. اسأل نفسك: هل ستتواصل ��ركة أو شخص شرعي بهذه الطريقة حقًا؟ لن تتصل مصلحة الضرائب للمُطالبة بالدفع الفوري، ولن يمنحك أي أمير نيجيري ثروات فجأةً. الأمر كله يتعلق بالنظر في احتمالية حدوث الموقف. تحقق ن أكثر الاحتيالات وعمليات النصب على الإنترنت في كل العصور. https://youtu.be/qQL7aOoj2dI عند الحديث عن المكالمات، لا تُقدم معلومات شخصية أو حساسة للمُتصلين غير المرغوب فيهم. سيكون لدى الكيانات الرسمية مثل البنك الذي تتعامل معه اسمك وتفاصيلك. لن يتصل بك فجأة ويطلب منك تأكيد أي شيء. يُعد إنهاء المكالمة وإعادة الاتصال برقم رسمي أكثر أمانًا. الشيء نفسه ينطبق على الروابط والمرفقات. المضي قدما بحذر شديد. المُتصيدون مُتسترون ويقومون بإنشاء رسائل بريد إلكتروني مُزيفة تبدو شرعية. لذا، قم بالتمرير فوق الروابط وتحقق من عناوين URL الفعلية قبل النقر عليها. تأكد من أنها تُطابق موقع الويب الحقيقي. ولا تفتح المرفقات الواردة من مرسلين عشوائيين، فقد تؤدي إلى تشغيل برامج ضارة. أبقِ حساباتك على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي مُغلقة أيضًا. يستكشف المُحتالون المعلومات هناك لاستخدامها في الهجمات. قم بإيقاف تشغيل الرسائل المُباشرة من الأشخاص الذين لا تتابعهم وتجنب الإفراط في مشاركة التفاصيل الشخصية علنًا. كلما قل ما يُمكنهم العثور عليه، كلما كان ذلك أفضل. استخدم كلمات مرور قوية وفريدة من نوعها وقم بتشغيل المُصادقة الثنائية حيثما أمكنك ذلك. وهذا يحمي حساباتك في حالة حصول شخص ما على معلومات تسجيل الدخول الخاصة بك. تأكد من استخدام مدير كلمات السر أيضًا! قم بعمل نسخة احتياطية من بياناتك بانتظام أيضًا. نظرًا لأنَّ المُتسللين يُمكنهم قفل ملفاتك والمطالبة بالدفع مقابل مفتاح فك التشفير، تُتيح لك النسخ الاحتياطية استعادتها دون دفع فدية. وبطبيعة الحال، لا تُرسل أموالاً أو بطاقات هدايا أو معلومات حساسة إلى الغرباء عبر الإنترنت لأي سبب من الأسباب. لن تقوم منظمات المساعدة الشرعية بمراسلتك بهذه الطريقة. عليك التبرع فقط للمجموعات التي تم التحقق منها باستخدام موقع الويب الرسمي. وأخيرًا وليس آخرًا، حافظ على تحديث تطبيقات مُكافحة الفيروسات وجدران الحماية والأجهزة لديك. يُحاول أن يستغل المُتسللون أي ثغرات أمنية مُتاحة. من الأفضل إجراء تحديثات البرمجيات تلقائيًا حيثما أمكن ذلك، حتى لا تُضطر إلى التفكير في الأمر. تحقق من طرق استخدام مُجرمي الإنترنت للذكاء الاصطناعي من أجل الاحتيال العاطفي والرومانسي.

احذر من المُتسللين الذين يحملون الهدايا

نحن جميعًا نحب الحصول على أشياء مجانية أو الوصول إلى المُحتوى الحصري. لكن لا تدع الجشع يجعلك هدفًا سهلاً لهؤلاء المُجرمين المُحتالين! تذكر فقط — إذا كان العرض يبدو جيدًا جدًا بحيث لا يُمكن تصديقه عبر الإنترنت، فهو دائمًا ما يكون غير حقيقي. العب الأمور بأمان، وكن بخيلًا بمعلوماتك الشخصية. يُمكنك الإطلاع الآن على نصائح حماية خصوصية أطفالك أثناء النشر على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي.

On Johnny’s trans journey

cw for internalized and externalized transphobia, lesbophobia, alcohilism mentions, canon-compliant violence

Yeah so one day (this is my hc in my CP15 AU where Johnny doesn’t get to stay with the Aldecaldos the whole time between summer 2013 and the 2020s and instead goes back to Kerry NC, thus leading to a Reunion Tour that gets Victor hired by Samurai’s label), there's yet another quidproquo between Victor and him.

In a panic, he suckerpunches Victor rasping "I'm not a fucking tranny [unsaid: like you]"

And something clicks inside Victor's head (probably their chrome thinly-veiled skull rebuffing against the impact) and everything falls to place. As comprehension sets in, their response is instantaneous:

"Well fuck, damn you stupid bitch, I didn't say you were, but now I know you are!!"

And they look at him in disbelief like he's pulled the biggest bit they've ever witnessed, there's a blank where Johnny is pale as a fucking sheet, looking like a ghost that got killed twice more, starting to hyperventilate as he stares at them, and they righten themselves, rubbing and cracking their jaw back into place (that's also when Johnny understand how borged out they secretly are), and they look at him, eyebrows rising, and whistles out,

"Fuck, that explains so much."

—

Johnny once fell upon an entire fortune. Literally. While raiding an abandoned house the enemy forces had been hiding out at, the poor kid had collapsed right onto some corpse of a guy still clinging to a wad of cash. Johnny did what any shellshocked underage impulsive teen soldier would have.

He pocketed the money and hid it, the stress and fear of being caught with it making him sick. He had to get rid of it and quick. And he couldn’t waste it.

He’d gotten the whole premium package: he’d already had a medium shit quality T implant, so he got a mammectomy he paid a fortune for, a scrotum and penis transplant, and a few months later, he got back to the clinic using the rest of the cash plus the little military credit and health care he had for cosmetic surgery that erased his chest scars, rendering him unidentifiable as trans to the naked, cis gaze.

Robert Linder died for good with Johnathan Nauman, and he was a pre-op trans man hopeful for a future that had more colours to it than just reds and blacks and maroons.

—

Only Kerry and Denny knew. Kerry only did because he was himself a semi-closeted trans man. And Johnny acted with such disgust toward the subject anytime he’d brought it up, unless it was about himself and then suddenly it was fucking magically fine (it made Kerry feel special, so he did not question it- if only he’d know just how special he actually was, so special to Johnny that Johnny had to resort to violence to deny himself another chance at loving a man the way he wished he could-) and Kerry’d always just assumed it was just yet another Raised in The Bible Belt thing.

He’d not been entirely wrong.

Denny on the other hand, knew about it because one day, she’d been the only one semi-sober– to this day she does not understand how nor why it had to be her of all people to learn this about their cryptical, aggressive frontman.

He’d been curled up in a corner and mumbling to himself, which wasn’t unusual but rare, but he was also sobbing and clutching his head. 

That, was not normal. It was fucking bizarre actually, and she felt even more mortified see this much from him than she’d been the first time she’d gifted a bouquet to a girl she liked (her name was Natasha, she had long auburn hair and a face like a gentle doll, lips pink like fruit) who’d then looked at her up and down and spat,

“I’m not a fucking lesbo.” 

As if just the thought had soiled her.

Well somehow that was worse.

And yet she’d approached him, and kneeled beside him.

Now, everyone in Samurai knew about Johnny’s horrid war-induced C-PTSD, and the first rule of thumb about Johnny’s horrid war-induced C-PTSD: You don’t talk about Johnny’s horrid war-induced C-PTSD.

If it needs to be brought up, Johnny is more than capable enough doing it himself and then by gods he’ll only stop when he’s done talking about it.

Many-a-one jaws and noses and ribs and walls and chairs and tables and car windows had beared the testimony of what happened if you broke that rule.

So they didn’t talk about it.

Then the 2013 raid happened. And it somehow got worse.

But let’s not get sidetracked.

Denny had sat next to Johnny, and a decade later she wonders if she wasn’t on some acid trip after all, when he’d not only not slapped her hand off of him, but collapsed against her chest, in the most uninterested way, and wailed just a tad louder, a tad clearer, about some guy he’d stolen everything from, the man who’d taken a bullet from him, and how he was a fraud and one day they would all find out, how he could only keep lying to himself for so long, he’d always just be the delusional bitch his older brothers said he was.

She had not even thought it was possible for Johnny Silverhand to have brothers, much less plural, much less ones that would have abused him and won.

More things were said. Garbled and disjointed, but Denny knew how to speak tongues with men who’d been swallowed by the bottle.

Oh, everyone assumed she was so patient with Henry because she was naive and stupid, but what they didn’t want to understand is that she just knew better. She knew that beneath the violence and the smell of chemicals lied terrified boys who’d grown into broken men, begging for anyone to just understand.

Her father had been such a kind man before the incident.

And so, she’d learned a secret Johnny hadn’t told anybody else, not even Kerry, and that was when she knew.

It was bad. She could never fucking mention it to anyone.

But Denny was used to taboos, and one more didn’t shake her. She just kept on drumming, taking out her rage at the world for burdening her with the pain of everyone around her by beating the shit out of her drumset and making bank off it.

She just knew some things were better left unsaid. Sleeping dogs lying and all that, y’know?

—

And then Victor had to go and fucking ruin it, making Johnny have to come out and say it.

And Johnny’s fists could barely scuff their face, it only broke the skin and bled but nothing underneath got any real damage, so, seemed they were all fucked.

They were gonna have to talk about it. Or at least put words on it, thinking about it, now.

Johnny hated them even more for that.

(That must be why he slept at their place, in their bed, for the next few weeks following.

Sometimes, Kerry would stay over so they could work on their songs, Victor keeping themselves busy with what the fuck ever it was that their imp ass did during their free time, and he’d sleep into bed behind him, or as the little spoon when Johnny felt small like humouring him.

Victor would stay on the same side of the bed and latch onto him one way or another, kissing his scalp softly, and he’d fall asleep, and if he were lucky, he dreamed of cocoa butter scented hair tickling his face, strong lanky dark skinned arms around his frames, two sets of dogtags clinking together softly under the rustles of the sheet.

Sometimes there would be blonde hair falling in a halo around a pale figure, but most of those dreams ended up as nightmares, so that’s not what we’re talking about if we’re talking about the times Johnny got lucky dreaming.

And when he’d wake up, there would be no blood. No screams. 

Just Victor’s stupid little hanging charms chiming softly as the AC droned on.

Just Kerry’s snoring against his neck.

Just peace.)

Spider-Man Read-Through 035: Stalked By The Spider Slayer (ASM 167-170)

MASTERPOST

In this batch...

Aah, this storyline reaches its climax!

Ross Andru opens this batch with his traditional (and lovely!) building views. Here, Jameson's shooting lasers at Spidey thanks to a suit made by that scientist we've seen a few times.

Well, he's shooting at slides, not at Spidey proper, but that's a detail.

In the meantime, a glowing fireball-shaped human causes a car wreck, but it doesn't matter because we've got some delicious slice of life!

I love the way the team draws eyes in close-ups, it's beautiful. Also, why not? That's a nice plot for May.

Seeing her like that, Peter can't help but wonder... maybe it's time to tell her he's Spider-Man!

His thoughts are interrupted by feeling that someone's watching him. This is, what, the third time he has that feeling now? I wonder what's going on with that plotline!

He asks to be alone, and MJ is comprehensive, and after a quick costume change, he stumbles upon... Jameson in his new robot suit!

Remember that Jameson believes the real Peter Parker is dead, as he saw the pictures that someone took of Spidey getting rid of his clone. He believes our Peter is an imposter, and that's why he was watching him.

Or... maybe not? Jameson simply says that he knew following Peter would lead him to Spidey. Hmm. What's up with that?

Anyway, this is the return of the Spider-Slayer! We already saw that same scenario twice before, as a caption helpfully informs us.

Can't wait to see what's in Jameson's brilliant mind.

MEANWHILE.

My jaw dropped! Time to check back my previous batches because I'm sure I saw that guy...

...Okay, can't find him, but I know it! Maybe it was just under the same role, but he has the most suspicious face to ever feature in this magazine. Is he a hypnotist? I hope he's not doing anything bad to Harry :( Like bringing back his Green Goblin memories...

Later, Spidey surprises Robertson in his car and gets a stern reprimand. It's funny because this is the second time I see a panel on my dash, and read the page not long after! I knew it was coming because I recognized the art style and figured it would come soon.

And it's well-deserved.

So Spidey finally goes to Jameson's office and gets the famous envelope. But before checking at home (gotta build suspense!), he's distracted by our firelight and follows him.

Spidey immediately attacks WOTW even though the latter says he doesn't want to fight, which I suspect was a lack of coordination between the artist and the script because it seems really odd.

There's an envelope quidproquo, then Jameson's remote controlled robot arrives to make the situation even messier.

In the next issue, Jameson is left dissatisfied, while WOTW leaves... literally. Thankfully for JJ, Dr Madison says she'll build a better Spider-Slayer. Oh dear...

Yup. The plot moves forward!

WOTW returns to his creator, Jonas Harrow!!!!!!

Wait, who?

Oh. Okay.

So WOTW and Spidey fight on 5th Avenue! What a fun panel. It's actually nice to see them interact in this decor, feels quite original.

Spidey "we always have a choice"-izes WOTW, who realizes he can't kill Spidey and lurches at the doctor who's in the crowd... and disintegrates, by the baddie's doing, with the simple press of a button.

Time for #169! It's a great cover (check the first pic of this post if you don't believe me).

That's funny, Len Wein, because I was thinking about this run so far and---Sorry, it was too easy.

I wouldn't say Wein's run has been dull so far, but I'm not exactly impressed so far, it seems very... inconsequential. I'll have to see how it evolves (and this batch's intrigue does reel me in!).

Marla Madison is a girlboss, but she can only do so much.

Jameson is kind of over this, though.

You know, I can appreciate what Wein's doing here. He's creating some sort of status quo with those two characters regularly fighting Spidey, a bit like Lex Luthor and Spider-Man, but I can't say I'm particularly attached to this idea.

Meanwhile, the evil (and devilishly hot) doctor returns!

Hm. He's visibly less... intense here. And his thought bubble doesn't show murderous intents. Intriguing.

Just as Peter gets home, someone rings the bell. It's Jameson!

Great fit, Peter. I'm almost tempted to replicate it. "Yes, I'm cosplaying Earth 616 Peter Parker on one page of issue 169, huh-huh!".

That hair grab, though! Is it me, or...? I mean. Some people will see it.

After some prolonged hair grabbing, Jameson surmises Peter's not wearing a mask after all and shows his envelope, that Peter put back in his desk last issue.

What's Peter's explanation?

Oh! Well done, handsome. That's ingenious!

So... Harry's stint as the Green Goblin is public? Wow. Just... wow. That's. Peter... *sigh*

Anyway, he looks so adorable, small-ish then very happy. Adorable!

That's an interesting panel on the left. That's how Marvel wishes to present itself: admired and read by everybody. A bit on the nose imo. The yellow border reinforces its meta aspect.

Spidey ends up at a super secret mega evil lair with mooks shooting at them. He gets rid of them, sees a large shadow and calls out the Kingpin... I grimace...

Except...

Huh. Not a name that inspires trust, you know.

In the readers' letters, the team says Len Wein is known for his long-range plots, and I'm not surprised. I'm here for it. Kinda. "He has the storyline worked out on THOR for the next two years. [...] He tends to lose an issue-by-issue perspective on things." Huh-huh.

#170 time!

Yeah, I had a feeling. He's a Captain America #192 expat, and it's not the first time we see stuff from another magazine come up here in Wein's run...

So that happens, Spidey gets essentially hypnotized by Faustus's smoke and helps them rob a factory or something (it's actually a fun sequence!), but more importantly, girl bonding!

Meanwhile, some guy rents May's house that she owns to retrieve something...

Dr Faustus seems to be an anti-smoking ad personified, and I'm like, sure, why not. At the end, Spidey takes care of him too.

Overall, it's a fun batch, but the Spidey/Peter ratio is completely, utterly messed up. Decompressed storytelling: why not! But that's not it. Still, there was fun stuff.

Also, know who we're going to see in the next post?

How To Identify, Prevent, And Respond To Quid Pro Quo Harassment In The Workplace

Quid pro quo harassment in the workplace is a serious issue that can have a detrimental effect on both employees and the company. It is important for employers to understand how to identify, prevent, and respond to quid pro quo harassment to create a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.

Identifying Quid Pro Quo Harassment

Quid pro quo harassment is defined as any unwanted or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is made a condition of employment or employment-related decisions. This can include, but is not limited to, verbal or physical harassment, sexual advances, and sharing or displaying sexually explicit or offensive materials.

Some signs that quid pro quo harassment may be occurring in the workplace include:

An employee who has been the target of quid pro quo harassment reports feeling uncomfortable, intimidated, or degraded by the conduct.

An employee who has been the target of quid pro quo harassment reports experiencing a change in their work conditions or treatment because of the harassment.

An employee who witnesses quid pro quo harassment reports feeling uncomfortable or intimidated by the conduct.

Employees who are aware of quid pro quo harassment report feeling afraid or intimidated by the alleged harasser.

Preventing Quid Pro Quo Harassment

There are several steps that employers can take to prevent quid pro quo harassment in the workplace. These include:

Developing and implementing a clear and comprehensive anti-harassment policy.

Providing regular training to all employees on the company’s anti-harassment policy, as well as on their rights and responsibilities under the policy.

Creating a confidential and accessible process for employees to report harassment.

Following through on complaints of harassment in a timely and thorough manner, with appropriate disciplinary action taken as necessary.

Regularly monitoring the workplace for signs of quid pro quo harassment and acting as necessary.

Responding to Quid Pro Quo Harassment

When quid pro quo harassment does occur in the workplace, it is important for employers to take swift and appropriate action to address the issue. This can include:

Investigating the complaint of quid pro quo harassment in a thorough and timely manner.

Providing support and protection to the employee who has been harassed, including offering them a safe work environment and accommodations as necessary.

Taking disciplinary action against the individual or individuals responsible for the harassment, up to and including termination of employment.

Reviewing and revising the company’s anti-harassment policies and procedures as necessary to prevent future quid pro quo harassment.

Conclusion

Quid pro quo harassment is a serious issue that can have a detrimental effect on both employees and the company. Employers must take steps to identify, prevent and respond to quid pro quo harassment to create a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. Regular training, creating a confidential and accessible process for employees to report harassment, and taking disciplinary action as necessary are all key steps that can be taken to prevent quid pro quo harassment in the workplace. It’s important that employers have a zero-tolerance policy for quid pro quo harassment and that it is communicated clearly to all employees and strictly enforced.
