Sexual harassment. I have had a family member and co-worker involved with situations at their work places. Have you ever experienced it and how did you deal with the situation? Does sexism still exist in the workplace? I have a feeling it does, but I'd like to hear what your experiences have been.

That's
horrible.
Reporting
it
definitely
would
have
been
the
way
to
go.
Then
again,
hindsight
is
always
20/20.
Hopefully
your
work
situation
has
improved
since
this
incident.

Sexism
and
sexual
harrassment
are
two
different
things
--
though
both
are
manifestations
of
the
same
root
problem.
I once experienced a moment of sexual harrassment on the job. I was working in a group home, and had climbed onto the kitchen counter to get an item from a high cupboard. When I turned to jump down from the corner, a (male) co-worker was standing there in such a way that the only way to get down was to slide along his body in a far too intimate way. I told him to move. He just grinned. I told him I didn't think it was funny, get out of my way. He didn't. So I slid down off the counter and, yes, he got a full-body rub. He also got my knee in a very tender body spot. I just looked at him as he groaned, doubled over. "I *asked* you to move." I should've filed against him for harrassment, but didn't. However, he never bothered me again. What an ass. |
