Fifty Shades Of Grey Frenzy Prompts Solicitor To Pen ‘Acceptable Face Of Porn In The Office’ Memo

There are some gems contained within this memo by Lupton Fawcett lawyer Angela Gorton on how employers can handle the fall-out from publishing sensation Fifty Shades of Grey.

‘Mommy porn’ book clubs are OK as “no-one intends to gag (no pun intended) employees from reading books of their choice,” explains Gorton.

But while talking about the contents of a book is one thing, “listening to verbal re-enactments is another!”

However, Gorton – who admits in her online bio that she “tries most things once” – saves the best of her advice for those “who prefer the less ‘vanilla’ side of events”…

“Employers have a duty to ensure that their employees are not bullied in the workplace.”
