I am a male Roman Catholic who began current job almost 2 years ago. While interviewing me my future boss asked me what I was getting my Masters Degree in; I told her Theology. Shortly after beginning my job she would constantly ask me questions about my religion and why I believed in it. She also told me she wasn’t a practicing jew. During working hours she would constantly ask me questions about my religious beliefs. One day while talking to me about “sins” I told her I believe in confession (confessing my sins to a priest) and she said to me “oh, come on you’re much to bright to believe in that.” I told her I do believe in that and she laughed at me in a room with at least 10 other people. She kept talking to me about reincarnation and gave me books on it even though I told her it was against my religious beliefs. She kept asking aloud, “did you read the books”? I’ve been on disability for past 3 months for panic attacks. She made me so nervous I can’t go back to work, I’m on meds!
Sorry I didn’t have enough room to finish. When I did tell her the conversations made me uncomfortable she then made my work life unbearable. She picked on every little thing I did until I couldn’t take it anymore. She said that I had a family to support and I’d better watch myself. I’m the only guy in the office and when I received several e-mails concerning male sexual stereotypes she said “oh, well that’s what happens when you’re the only man in an all female office.” This may sound “weak” to some of you but this atmosphere at my job mentally wore me down and I can’t go back there to work. I’m on an anti-depressant and an anti-anxiety med. Do I have any legal recourse? Please don’t judge me, all I’m seeking is legal type opinions. Thank you all.
My group of co-workers seem to hate the QC person because she always tell them what to do and what they did wrong. They are constantly fighting for the radio and the group is constantly mocking and gossiping about the QC. The group wanted to listen to hip hop and lady gaga (and songs like “birthday sex” and “hotel motel undressing”), but the QC was offended by the music. Last week, they just made the QC cried by playing those music, but they were very happy about upsetting her and they hi-five…
The management knows every well about the fights, but it doesn’t seem like they’re doing much about it. I recalled the senior manager just comforted the QC by saying “Yeah… but if we turn it down, they’ll say we’re racist.”

I just started a new job in early Novemer. Around thanksgiving I found out I was pregnant. The HR is pretty strict at my job and I am worried they will not allow any maternity leave because I have not been her the 12 months that the FMLA states. Will I lose my job if I take time off to have my baby?
My fiancee worked somewhere and during this time, his supervisor had a picture of a woman flashing the camera on his computer. My fiancee saw this picture and the supervisor said, “Oh, you didn’t see that!”
Then he was fired 2 weeks later. My fiancee didn’t want to report the picture while he was working there because he was afraid of losing his job. Obviously, that is not longer a concern.
How should we go about reporting this and filing a greivance against his former employer? Is there a case?
I know that pornography and the like is a 0-tolerance type of thing at this place, so this would be a good case, correct?
nothing for women.
I’ve worked at corporations where women were the majority and when a group of women get together they sound like a bunch of sailors, swearing and talking about men’s genitals and cutting co-workers up.
I’ve had women sit on my desk and often times touch me on my arm or shoulder. Other times after getting a buzz cut one girl would slide her hand up the back of my head.
How is it that women are so free to behave in any manner regardless if men want the attention or not, especially after women created a culture of fear and shame in the workplace?
I wouldn’t touch a woman in any way period at work even just to be friendly or goof around.
If I sat on a woman’s desk I can just see it know. Her in HR filing a complaint, “Yes, I felt intimidated, He degraded me and I was harassed.”
Further proof women are pretty crazy.
