How To Stop Sexual Harassment In The Workplace
Q: A female friend is constantly harassed
at work by her manager, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.
This guy grabs her, makes obscene comments, and treats her like she's
"his girl". Since he's the store manager, there's not much she
can do. I was thinking maybe reporting him to an agency that
investigates sexual harassment in the workplace or something, but
she understandably doesn't want to go through more hassles.
Should I send her store's home office a suggestion to keep their
store manager's sex drive outside the workplace? Or maybe asking
him nicely to stop myself? My friend said that would make him
even worse because he's really immature and would make her life
miserable.
My question is why should she go along with his disgusting games
just so she could work?
A: Sexual assault/battery and is a felony. To make a strong case against this *slim*, She should keep a diary containing dates, times and his actions against her. Also, try to get someone the witness his actions. One other item, she *must* tell him to stop. Otherwise, it could be construded that she approves of his actions. When she feels she has enough *evidence*, she should 1) get a laywer 2) look for a new job, cause you will be fired, 3) after you find a new job, file sexual assualt/battery charges against him and file a civil complaint against him and the parent company. The thing to remember is that without *evidence* or witnesses, its her word against his and she will loose. The DA will not handle
