Question

A male employee complained to his employer that his male supervisor and coworkers made sexually explicit and demeaning comments and gestures towards him. He also claimed retaliation after he complained about discrimination. The comments made by the supervisor included calling the employee a term often used for females, telling him that he had a "nice ass" and he would look good in a dress; and making explicit, vulgar comments regarding homosexual sex acts when Kelley was bent over or on his knees to perform work-related tasks. The coworkers engaged in similar conduct with this employee. The employee sued for discrimination and retaliation. Will the employee be successful in his claims, why or why not?

Answer 1

The employee will be successful in his claims if he has the knowledge and guts to speak for himself as equal employment opportunity commision (EEOC) misconduct can includeoffensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name-calling, physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, offensive objects or pictures, and interference with work performance.

Sexual harassment is a serious offense and includes inappropriate touching, sexual jokes, sending sexual messages, or requiring sexual favor in return of promotions.

And if the employer also doesn't listens then the employee may approach the court.
