HAVE YOU BEEN MADE TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE OF YOUR GENDER AT YOUR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA JOB? YOU MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED "HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT" SEXUAL HARASSMENT
If you have been made to feel uncomfortable at work because of your sex you may be experiencing a Hostile Workplace. This is a type of sexual harassment that occurs when an employer or another worker does, or says, something that makes the victim uncomfortable because of their sex. Both men and women can be harassed this way. For this type of activity to constitute "harassment," the behavior must be offensive. This means that if you enjoy exchanging sexual jokes with a co-worker, you are not being harassed.
The offensive behavior must also be "severe and pervasive." Thus, if your boss made a one-time lewd comment to you, this may not constituted "hostile work environment" harassment. If you have been experiencing "hostile work environment" harassment, you should following the company policy and report the behavior to your Supervisor or Human Resources.
It can be very scary to be sexually harassed, and if you have been a victim you should not remain silent. Speak out about your harassment, and contact the skilled attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
