I started working at a new job approx. 8 months ago. From the minute I started, I noticed that all the upper management as well as my peers ingaged in sexual jokes,sexual comments and profanity. I made it clear to my boss as well as the individuals that I did not appreciate the comments, that it was sexual harrassment and that it was against the law.
Individuals were addressed, however the behaviors have not changed. On Halloween, a manager, my peer dressed up as a "Pimp" and came to work. He made comments in the hallway that he could get any type of woman for anyone. I immediatly stated " You are a walking HR nightmare, be careful or someone will sue you". Well, this particular individual just laughed and ignored my statement. I later walked by his office, and there were several supervisors and associates near him, one of the female supervisors said stand by him for a picture, I said no. Then, another supervisor asked me how much was he selling me for? I gave her a look, then addressed it with her privately.
The worst occured two weeks ago, while in an elevator this manager was joking with me and a supervisor when he turned to me and touched my breast. I immediately spoke to my boss and had a meeting with him and my boss. I told him that I was really tired of his sexual harrassment and that his career, job and personal life could be affected by this if I proceed with a sexual harrassment file/ lawsuit against him. This person apologized to my husband ( Which took me for a loop since my husband wasn't in the room) I stopped him and said, " You didn't touch my husbands breats, you touched mine, and he isn't in the room." He reluctantly apologized to me. Now I was told that he is up for a promotion, I need to shadow him, and perhaps he will be my boss.
Where do I start? Isn't my boss responsible to report it to HR? Please assist me, I really need your expertise.
