MEN, have you been harassed at work? ( rephrased question from two weeks ago)?

Yes. \nI hesitated about what to do. If I decided to quit, I could not get any money. So, I made their life so difficult and the business so bad that they put me out of the company and I asked for a good exit package. With that I bought a small flat and set up a Foundation. I do my best to have a great working atmosphere. It goes very well.

that depends entirely on the setting (are you at work and a collegue said something off-color?), the person (you can't respond the same way to your boss as you can to a peer), and exactly what was said/done (i.e. was it a minor slip or something that you possibly took the wrong way, or was it a major, totally out-of-line thing)???\n\ndepending on the level, who/what was involved, etc, anything from turning the other cheek & ignoring the person (while calling them some choice words in your inner monologue!) to a swift kick in the nuts might be in order. typically I abhore sue-happy people, but if it's a case of a superior at work sexually harrassing you or making unwanted racial or sexual comments, etc, then legal recourse may be a possible route...

Yes, it can and it does! \n\nFirst of all...DOCUMENT everything. If your coworker makes sexual comments to you..tell them you do not appreciate that kind of talk. Carry a notebook and write down when/where/what happened and who was there (if anyone) to witness it. \n\nIf it happens after you tell that person (male or female) that you do not appreciate that talk...report immediately to your supervisor and ask for follow up. \n\nIF it continues go immediately to human resources. \n\nYou also need (in my opinion only) to curb your own comments. Don't run yelling sexual harrassment because someone tells you "that is a nice skirt" when you are sitting around the water cooler reciting naughty limericks. \n\nOther wise you may find yourself at the OTHER end of that write up for sexual harrassment. \n\nThis is a serious subject and employers take it seriously. Peoples careers and personal lives can be destroyed because of a flippant joke or a snitty accusation. \n\nAgain..document everything that happened.

"I talked to my employer and he told me that this individual had harassed people in this way before, but he was not going to do anything about it, and if I couldn't handle it I should quit."\n\nGet this is writing from the employer then you can go to your state's  workforce commission and file a formal complaint.  Send your complaint in an e-mail and give the employer time to respond.\n\nDon't take any cr*p but you also must have solid ground on which to fight. Good luck.

The next time that your boss tells you that "this is a man's job", remind him that he is breaking the law.  A job is a job, there no longer is a "man's" job, just like there is no longer a "woman's" job.\n\nAlso let him know that if there is any more harassment by your co-workers, you will consider that as management's consent and approval of the unacceptable behavior, and you are prepared to take appropriate action, legal and otherwise.\n\nLet him know that you have started a log of inappropriate action/ behavior of fellow employees and management personnel. Starting with the instant conversation, you are documenting everything that is said and done (who, what, where, when, time, place, and witnesses), that you consider to be harassment or sexual discrimination, and/ or related matters such as counselling sessions that you may be involved in.\n\nAlso make him aware that any adverse action such as termination, discipline, demotion, or transfer to a less desirable position will be considered retaliation, and if it happens you will take further more aggressive action.\n\nTell him these are not threats but commitments. \n\nAsk him if that is "tough enough"!

Looks like the manager has a history of sexually harrassing female employees. I'd give this one a pass, but if it happens again in any form, report him.

It's called a making pass. If he repeats that kind of stuff too often, or tries to leverage his boss status to make you accept it, then it becomes harassment.

I call this bullying, especially the bits about not giving you your work and shouting at you in front of other people.  Is there a personnel department or union you can see about this?  If not, I suggest you look for another job before you get symptoms of stress.

No it isn't sexual harassment. But it does sound like you are on the fast-track to that promotion that you've been wanting.

It has happened to me today at work :)\n\nI was ill-speaking of someone, when I found him at my back listening to every SINGLE word of what I said.\n\nOMG, this has been so embarrasing and I looked red like a tomato :)

Hello Karen, some men are going to do what ever it takes and you happened across one of these guys. I go out with my hubby in micro minis on our date nights. I am with him and don't care what anyone else may see or say. I don't pay attention. In your case you were asking for help and I'm sorry that you ran across someone who did that to you. Just laugh it off and hope he enjoyed his little peek at you. Life is too short to worry about a pervert peeking at you.

Never ever quit your job because of sexual harassment. Especially by a midget! Pick the little creep up and throw it in the bin! And tell it to pick on someone its own size!

Not bad at all where I work, but then again almost all our bosses are totally cool. But I've been places where people flat out tell their boss "F--k You", and nothing happens to them. Weird....

I would ask him to wait one moment and then I would immediately seek my supervisor and ask him to repeat what he said. He probably wouldn't, but I don't think he would bother you again make an effort to come through your line.  I would do that each time he did come through.  If he did a second time, I would stop, grab the closest thing to write on, ask him to sign it and put his phone number on it and report it to the police.  It is sexual harrassment and he maybe stalking you, a pedophile, or a wanted sexual criminal.  By being intimidated by him, you allow him to be in control of the situation.  If you firmly approach him, then he is most likely to stand back.

I guess it depends . . . do you enjoy it?  Is it bothering you (since you are writing it here, I am assuming it does).  \n\nIt is, without a doubt, unprofessional.  However, most sexual harassment policies and laws require you to let the other person know, in some manner, that you don't appreciate it.  I think the best thing you can do it approach him, and say something like, "I'm not sure how to bring this up, but there are certain things you do that make me feel uncomfortable.  We are both here to do a job, and I hope we can do it friendly, but you need to know that it is making me uncomfortable".  Document what you said, how he responded, when and where you talked to him.  \n\nIf things don't change, or you sense any retaliation, take it immediately to Human Resources.  \n\nOh, and you may know that he is doing this in a lewd way, but I had a situation where an employee was staring at the chest of people when he talked with them - turns out it was a nervous gesture, and had nothing to do with harassment.

Don't worry they are picking on me too. I was standing outside the first national bank in the middle of the day, in the middle of august wearing black pants black jacket and a black ski mask and then the pig said i looked suspicious. Come on he was harassing me right? LMAO

How about your own experiences with discrimination in the work place. Everyone experiences it. It doens't matter who they are.
