Female coworker shows phone picture of herself in comprimising postion to male coworker? Harassment?

Answer 1

The definition of sexual harassment is "unwelcome sexual advances." If he wanted to see it and she showed it to him willingly, it's not harassment.

If it made him unfortable and he told her he didn't want to see stuff like that any more, and she continued to show him, it would be harassment.

Doing something like this one time doesn't generally constitute harassment - for hostile environment harassment, the conduct has to be repetitive and pervasive. For quid pro quo harassment, there has to be an employment benefit or reprisal of some sort (e.g., "if you don't go out with me I'll get you fired; If you sleep with me I'll get you a raise".)

If it bothered you, tell her not to do it any more. If she continues, talk to your boss or HR person.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I doubt that it would be considered harassment if it is the first and only time you have received unwanted and uninvited correspondence from this particular person.

For harassment, you have to be able to show and prove a repeated pattern of unwanted or uninvited actions.

In our still male dominated society, the law applies to everyone, but not equally when it comes to gender.

Hope this has helped in some small way.

Answer 3

I think any inappropriate sexual action forced onto another person is considered harrassment. Anything a coworker does that makes you feel uncomfortable should be addressed between the two of you. If the behavior continues, take it to management.

Answer 4

Obviously the girl does not have enough work to do. I would report her to the supervisor and let them deal with it.

Answer 5

if shes done it loads of times then yes harrasment. if this was a one off, then get a grip, you're a man for goodness sakes.

Answer 6

Depends on what you mean by compromising? If you mean "not fully clothed" then yes it would be sexual harrassement.
