When someone makes unwelcome and inappropriate advances or requests of a sexual nature, that is sexual harassment. These actions are usually tied to some reward or threat of punishment at work (quid pro quo), although they may be used as a way of intimidating others. Regardless of what happens or why, the crucial factor is that the attention is unwanted.
This behavior could be verbal, physical, or visual. Jokes, signs, cartoons, gestures, facial expressions, and slurs can all be part of sexual harassment. These actions are illegal regardless of the gender of those involved. In addition to direct behaviors, managers and supervisors may foster a toxic work culture that allows these actions, forcing workers to go along with the situation or leave the company.
As many as one in four women and one in five men have experienced sexual harassment, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Those on the receiving end of this behavior may feel shame, fear, confusion, worry, and panic concerning their ability to perform their duties and keep their job. It can feel like fighting back is too hard when you have already faced so much stress.
Instead of facing this dilemma alone, you can turn to a qualified Sacramento sexual harassment lawyer who understands the law and how to hold the liable parties accountable. We can pursue the individuals who committed these actions, as well as your employer, who allowed it to happen.
