Harassment of any nature is not limited to the workplace, of course, it can take place anywhere.
Periodically, at almost every job I ever had we had updated training.
When I worked at Sears Roebuck for four years there was continuous training for us employees to complete electronically as things were constantly changing or advancing.
Even if the subjects and activities within the lessons and testing were just a recoup of what we had already gone over beforehand.
Two weeks ago, I had to do updated training in one of my workplaces regarding sexual harassment- a subject I am very knowledgeable in, and that I have always passed with one hundred percent correctness in answers after testing whether during orientation or training.
This previous occurrence gave me an idea to write about due to the seriousness in nature on jobs where managers are not taking action when they are supposed to. Where managers may side with a perpetrator, or where managers do not take a matter gravely.
Sexual harassment or harassment of any kind should never be tolerated in the workplace.
Do not be afraid, stand up for yourself at all cost and at all means.
A supervisor/manager is supposed to give immediate attention to the employee once harassment is reported. If they do not, and one does not see any results or are not satisfied with an investigation that was carried out then report your case/complaint to The New York City Commission of Human Rights- 718 722 3131.
One can also call or contact The New York Division of Human Rights 888 392 3644.
Personally, I know from my experience when or if anyone tries to harass me in any way I go into kick- their- ass mode.
However, we must think before we instantly or automatically react.
If we do not fight back in a way that is obvious it is not that we are afraid. We just do not want to risk going to jail for assholes who are not worth wasting precious time of our lives over.
Nevertheless, no matter how a negative situation will turn out it is very important to remember that nobody in this life gets away with anything that they do- even if they ignorantly think they have.
It is alright when something is justified, but people get back what is coming to them and God does not let negative deeds/actions go unpaid.
