The other day at work I got sexually harassed...?

It just depends. Is this guy/girl hot? Because if so, then I don't see why you don't feel comfortable. But if they are ugly, then I'd tell them to back the f*ck off and don't freaking do it again.

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!

write down everything that happens and who was present when it happened. \nTell your boss you are offended by the comments. \nIf it continues, contact the EEOC in your area. \n\nhttp://www.eeoc.gov/\nhttp://www.eeoc.gov/types/race.html <---defines a hostile work environment based on what you typed.

I would arrange a "sit-down" with the supervisor to discuss your feelings and her "close supervision" of your work time.  Ask her why she has singled you out. Let her know that it is making you uncomfortable, and since other employees are aware of it, it is  coming awfully close to establishing a "hostile work environment", which is illegal, a form of sexual discrimination. Let her know that you have options (going to HR, filing a complaint with EEOC), which you don't want to utilize, but will if the situation does not change.\n\nLet her know that, beginning immediately, you will be keeping a log, recording any employment decisions, good and bad, time, date, person involved, witness, issues and reasons.

No Problem, wear a shorter dress next time so you can see it coming.....\n\nVery funny I laughed outloud and my co-workers looked at me. \n\nThanks Sweetsmile you are a vision in the morning!

Nowadays, with all the sexual harassment issues at the workplace, people are extremely careful when getting involved like this. Maybe you should ask him to meet you in a place outside the work environment and openly discuss the issue. Some guys, like me are shy and will wait to get a very clear "hint" to make the move.

Yes, you should most certainly report your a** hole boss. He's a creep, and that kind of talk should never be forced into the workforce.

IS IT CONSENSUAL? are you enjoying it and keeping quiet or are you complaining? it makes a HUGE difference...\n\nif you are complaining and it is uninviting..then ask him to look up the sexual harrasment section or inappropriate action at work..he'll leave you alone QUICK..and if he doesn't report him..

Have you already talked to the person about it?  Simply take that person aside and say something like, "Hey, <insert name here>, I noticed that earlier when we were talking you touched me.  I appreciate your friendly attitude, but I am uncomfortable with being touched like that.  I also feel that you stand too close to me.  I would feel more comfortable if you didn't come within 2 feet of me and if you wouldn't touch me at work.  Would you please stop?"  It's entirely possible that this behavior is simply the way that the person is expressing collegiality towards you, and he/she may not realize that it makes you uncomfortable.  Being direct and stating exactly what behavior you don't like, as well as what behavior you would prefer, will leave nothing up in the air.\n\nAssuming that you have already talked to the person about it and directly asked him/her to stop, and you feel that your discomfort is affecting your work performance, mention it to a supervisor or HR.

I think that you should go straight to the store manager, and tell him what has been going on. Tell him that you feel uncomfortable with all their questions. While you may like your coworkers, you are under no obligation to tell them anything of your personal life. If the store manager does not do anything to resolve this problem, go to the district manager. Keep going over everyone's head who refuses to acknowledge this complaint of (possible) sexual harrassment. Most chain restarants (Pizza Hut, McDonalds) have a 1-800 number to call to report sexual harrasment.

It's not necessarily sexual harassment.No gender or specifically sexual conduct was mentioned.You did use a specific legal term though,Jules.\nDid I miss something? Does this one have a punchline? It's got a strange enunciation.\nTell us specifically what this person is doing.\nSorry about the lack of humor.It's late...

That is tricky.  What kind of history do you have with the person?  Is the person known to be violent?  What is the context?  Sometimes you should ignore it and go on.  Sometimes you should take it very seriously and seek legal help.  If you genuinely fear for your safety, have a restraining order filed against the individual.  If the person has attempted to harm you, file charges with the police.  It helps if there are witnesses.  If you are at work, let your employer/supervisor know immediately.  If you are not provided a safe work environment, you can file a sexual harassment complaint.  I know, it's not sexual; but it falls under sexual harassment anyway.

I was caught by a boss and his assistant having sex with a coworker under a staircase, then I was caught on camera having sex in the staff room with an entirely different person !\nI left that job shortly after.

Part of the enjoyment of participating in this service is trying to decipher the sometimes incoherent questions.\n\nLet's see if I guess what you are asking.\n\nYou are an employee somewhere and you think someone else is harassing you.\n\nIf the harasser is your employer, and the harassment is based on one of the protected categories [age, gender, ethnicity, religion, color, disability, race] then you might have some protection.\n\n"Get back to work!" is usually not actionable harassment.\n"Get back to work, you stupid old Lutheran men!" probably is actionable.\n\nIf the harasser is a fellow employee and your employer does not protect you from it, you might have an action against the employer and the harasser.\n\nIf the harasser is a customer, you are not required to tolerate that behavior and can force your employer to remove the harasser.\n\nRather than threaten to contact your attorney, quietly contact the lawyer and discuss the situation. Your lawyer is in a much better position to advise you whether or not you have a cause of action. And, making threats usually just makes you look pathetic.\n\nIn my expereince, about 2% of the cases were worth pursuing - the rest were just situations where the employee had to "suck it up" or find another job.\n\nGood luck to you

It's definitely in VERY poor taste.  She obviously doesn't have a lot of office etiquette in her social arsenal.\n\nThe link below has a lot of various definitions of what sexual harassment is...\n\nfor you, it might be good to get your office's manual to find out what your company considers sexual harassment.  In some cases, just having sexually explicit or suggestive items on display (such as the lingerie) is enough to be grounds for some sort of action.\n\nGood luck.

You know what I say FUCK THEM! If they tell you that your skirt dont look good on you, look at them and then remind your self that you sexy and say thank you. Females (even more at the work place) will always have something to say because they think less of themselves. Dont let anyone make you feel less of your self because of their comment.

The 'rude' thing is one matter--that should be something that your boss can settle if they're any kind of boss at all--let him or her know that this has been going  on for some time and it is making doing your job really difficult-------It's this "grabbing"thing that is soooo out of line that it reeks--when someone touches you without your giving the liberty THAT my dear is unlawful--and it is so whether the jackass is male or female and needs to be dealt with as such---and if this "grabbing" has sexual overtones--it immediately ups the antee to a whole new level and can be considered assault if not sexual assault or even sexual harassment---don't let it slide--report it and end it NOW--whoever this squirrel is --they do what they do because they've been getting by with it and sooner or later someone is going to be hurt big time--I personally know a couple of gals that would send this girl to Jesus
