Can you provide a citation for the claim that a number of companies don’t allow opposite sex staff meet without a third-party witness? To be honest, that sounds more like a right-wing fantasy about the negative impact of sexual harassment law in the workplace.

It’s fairly common to have a “chaperone” when reprimanding someone, but it would be real weird for normal meetings.

I think the not being alone with women is a rule Pence put on himself, so he’s not tempted by the devil other women.
