If you are being harrassed at work what should you do?

Question

I had to go to HR about an issue with a manager and now im being harrassed

Answer 1

The advice given me ..........DON"T QUIT.....right off the bat..... from the EEOC. Take the chain of command and go right to the top making sure you have some documentation. Keep a journal of date time , and who and conversation. Unless of course you have to submit (which is better for you) in writing.

Good Luck!

Won based on such complete and and precise journal kept.

Answer 2

In the office place, a lot of wisdom is required as we interact with a lot of people from diverse backgrounds. You didnt specify the issue you had with your boss, so i cant say much on that. Reporting one's manager to the H.R should be a last resort as most times you cant predict what will happen. Just be humble and go about your work diligently, so they cannot find any other excuses to witch-hunt you. All will be well...

Answer 3

Approach the individual in a calm and serious manner and let them know you're upset about the harrassment. If that doesn't work, file a formal complaint.

Answer 4

Go higher up the management chain. Keep going up until you get results.

Answer 5

If you are being harassed, do not hesitate to go to HR. There are laws against harassment.

Answer 6

Most companies have "Helpline". You could seek help anonymously. If the nature of harassment is sexual in nature, you could seek legal recourse directly.

Answer 7

Your next step is labour board.

Answer 8

tell your boss about it.
