Is this sexual harassment?

Well, first you would have to ask him to stop or complain to his supervisor. In order to sue, you would first have to present your complaint to the EOE, and they would investigate and tell you if you can sue or not. Generally, the company has to be given the opportunity to correct the problem first. Tell him to please not call you "yummy nuts" (which I think is funny as hell). If he persists, then you will have a case.

Take courage and confront him.  Ask him to explain exactly what he meant by those comments, or tell him that you will be forced to report him for sexual harrassment.  Under no circumstances do you report him without first asking him to explain (as it MIGHT be possible the comments were misunderstood... he might just be a poor joker)!

Get one of those voice activated recorders and when he confronts you, make sure it's on.  Then take the recording to your boss - if she/he doesn't do anything about it, you may be out of luck.  Worse comes to worse see an attorney- this could sexual  harassment and that's illegal!

Touching your back/shoulders and stroking your neck? Making perverse comments? Sweetie, this is called sexual harrassment. As for why they act this way, basically, they're idiots. Don't write them off as just "goofy." There is no excuse for their behavior. One guy went on a date with you and then told everyone? Is he still in high school? They think it's fun to embarrass you. They way immature men like this think, it wouldn't surprise me if they have some sort of bet going as to who can get you to give up your choice to wait until marriage first. The first thing you need to do is not date any of them. That's just a good policy wherever you may work in your life. If it ends badly, you still have to see that person every day and it can cause a lot of problems. Second, when they say inappropriate things to you or touch you or make you feel uncomfortable in any way, you need to tell them they're behaving inappropriately and ask them to please stop. If they don't, or they just think that's part of the game, you need to go to your supervisor and ask him/her to intervene. Just know that if the boss does intervene, this may make for a hostile work environment because then you'll be the girl who "can't take a joke." Sad, but it happens. Conversely, the boss may think you're overreacting and not do anything. At this point, you'll have to make a decision: file a complaint with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) and let them handle it, again possibly making for a hostile work environment; quit and find another job with mature, professional coworkers; do both. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to this. If it were just one or two guys behaving this way, it might be easier because they'd be the minority. But if all the guys you work with do it, they'll be more apt to stick together and form a united front against you, saying that you're exaggerating or even making stuff up to get them into trouble. If there are any other women who work there, talk to them and see if they're having similar experiences. If so, it will corroborate your claims and give you more credence. I'm sorry to sound so cynical and/or pessimistic, but this is an all too common situation for many women in the workplace. We've all read and heard about things like this. There's even a movie based on a true story about the first lawsuit against a company for condoning sexual harassment called "North Country" with Charlize Theron. It's a disturbing, sad movie, but it shows what some women have had to go through just to earn a living. Finally, don't let yourself be intimidated. Stick to your values, know that you don't deserve to be treated this way and you don't have to put up with it. No one has the right to put their hands on you without your permission. Be strong and stick up for yourself, and someday, if you have children, you can pass that strength on to your daughter or teach your son to have the proper respect for women. I wish you the best of luck.

I would report it to the Human Resources department myself, if you thought it was a real threat to your boss. She was probably just blowing off, I think.. But maybe..

Hello, \nWell it seems to me that this person is making a pass at her. He is doing it and with hope that he score with her and maybe she will give up either the 7 digits or something even more. If you read into it and pay attention to it he is using this as a way to charm her. Most of us women like that kind of stuff and the attention as well so I think that is what it is he is flirting!

Tell them "I'm offended by that." Could fall under the sexual harrassment category (but it doesn't have to be sexual). \nOnce they've been notified, you are free to escalate. Supervisor can't ignore it if you have told them. This can lead to civil rights and right-to-work issues. HTH!

It is your responsibility to report the situation,she is not trustworthy.Let the chips fall where they may or you might be implicated in her indiscretions.\n  Don't confront her,or she will drag you down with her,and accuse you of "sexual harrasment"..you don't want that tag..women who like to climb ladders in a company love to use that as a way of achieving higher success,and use you to do it . \n  Don't get caught up in her lying world by trying to be a nice guy. \n  Nice guys finish last.

technically yes, it could be considered sexual harassment. Any sexual attention that could be undesired or out of place can be considered sexual harassment. In all honestly a LOT of things that go on in a work or even school enviroment would be harassemnt. It just depends on the people and what boundraies they have when it comes to that stuff. But legally yes.

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.

There's a big difference between unwanted sexual remarks (harassment), and calling a phone sex line to hear those comments. Now when it comes to my private time, I personally enjoy a little dirty talk from the right man.

Not at work.  If comments like this are made at work, you have a harrassment situation.  That causes a hostile environment for the women.\n\nThe way you handle this is to politely ask the person to stop making comments like this.  Make sure you write down the time, date, the words you said, and hopefully have a witness.  Do it at least twice.\n\nIf it continues, complain to your supervisor that you are in a hostile environment.  They are required by law to do something about it.

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 should be, but nothing is ever fair...especially at work.  Just remain completely professional with her and don't let her distract you. You maybe could submit an anonymous complaint to HR also.  You didn't mention the size of your company, but I can't see any organization tolerating that type of behavior from their management!!

Well, you haven't given a lot of details about what happened, but first of all, I think if he did anything sexual to you that offends you, then you should put harassment charges on him.  Sexual harassment is something that should not be tolerated!  If not, then take him aside one day (not while you are supposed to be working, you don't want to lose your job over this) and tell him that you need to talk to him about what happened before and that he can't go on pretending it didn't happen.  Let him know that you don't like the way he disrespected you.  Chances are he will stop after that, but if he keeps on, report it to a supervisor.  Nobody should have to deal with this in the workplace!!!  Good luck!

Sexual harassment is not so black and white all the time.  If this is harassment it depends on a variety of things. \n\n 1. Company policy- does the comapny allow fraternization?  \n\n2. How did he approach her, was he lewd? \n\n3. Did he threaten her job in any way if she would not comply with his request?  Has he been making her job harder or denying her a promotion because she would not comply?\n\n4.  Did she let him know that she wasn't interested and that he needs to stop talking to her in that manner? Did he continue with his bad behavior? \n\nIf one of the above is true, then I think it qualifies as sexual harassment and if she hasn't already gone to a higher up, then she should.  \nIf there has been no improvement or there is no higher up to go to, then she should retain a lawyer and get his/her advice on this matter.
