A friend of mine at my work gave me the phone number to this girl that was having a party and I was told I was invited to.

I called the girl a few times and was sent to her voice message each time and sent a text message. When she told me to ‘get lost’ after I revealed who i was, I did not contract her again.

Now she is reporting me for harassment to my employer. Does she have a case?

Is sexual harassment common in the workplace or is it exaggerated? Do people tend to fabricate stories of sexual harassment? Why or why not?

I have been employed with my company for ten years, and dealt with difficult customers and co-workers, however since October 2008 a new worker has gradually made a job I once loved doing become one I loathe. This co-worker has made comments that suggest people in the office have slept together just because she herself had screwed up this day, it was reported to HR as a sexual harassment situation – nothing was done ( I know because I would have to deliver the warning/write up). An employee has reported this person for threatening him, and now violence has been shown full force after a large piece of office equipment was hurled across the room by this person. Which was reported to HR along with several other smaller things and nothing has been done
I feel afraid for my well being and those around me, and everyone I try to vent to says this is a hostile workplace, and that I should open a lawsuit. I don’t want money, if I opened a case I don’t even know what I would ask for. Does this sound to anyone else like a case?

Please be honest but not cruel, I don’t want to screw this company, I have been a loyal employee for a very long time. I just don’t see why anyone should be able to put several other co-workers in danger and completely ruin the moral throughout the entire floor.

And is it even worth fighting the case? What would the results be like?
Umm no, a lawyer isn’t involved in the harassment. The lawyer would be involved in the CASE. If I were working with lawyers, I wouldn’t ever have to worry about sexual harassment…………..
Well, I meant that if I were working with lawyers, I wouldn’t have to worry about sexual harassment because I would probably be a lawyer myself, haha.

Ok, i work at a family owned restaurant.
I am 1 of 2 bussers on staff.
The other busser is the son of the owners.

I am getting vulgar texts from my co-worker saying that i unable to do my job, and i do not have to worry about working there much longer.

When i go into work, he blames me for anything that goes wrong, and most of the time, i end up having to take the blame. He threatens me, and he has screwed me over with days i have had scheduled off multiple times.

Is this harasment? Hostile workplace? Is there anything i can do to fix this situation?

If i had the choice i would leave, but i am a college student, and i know it will be extremely hard to find another job right now.
