Sexual Harassment

 

Here are several events that happen in the workplace. Do you believe they   fall under the definition of sexual harassment? If so, why? If not, why not?

• Jane willingly dated a        co-worker for the last 3 years. Now, she has met someone else and does        not want to continue the relationship with the co-worker. The co-worker        does not want to end the relationship and is posting negative things        about her on Facebook.
• Linda offers sexual favors to        her professor in order to get a passing grade. The professor agrees, and        Linda receives a passing grade.
• Mary, a supervisor, asks her        male employee, Stan, to join her for dinner so they have will some quiet        time away from the office to go over his performance evaluation.
• Bob, a supervisor, makes        comments about on a regular basis to his secretary, Susan, about how she        is dressed for the day.
• A customer in a restaurant        grabs the rear end of a waitress. She complains about the customer to        the manager, who says, “Ignore it, you’ll probably get  bigger        tip.”
• Don posts pictures of        scantily clothed women on his office walls.
