No! Culprits would regret it !!

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

I work alone id have to harass myself

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

No, in over fifty years of working I never experienced unwanted attention. I spent eight years, as the only woman, working with eighteen men. Never a word or action out of place. Perhaps no-one fancied me...

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

I think we all have different levels of what is acceptable, but there is no way I wouldn't report it if I felt they had gone too far ( having told them on a previous occasion that it wasn't acceptable)

How can you have any respect for yourself if you accept somebody disrespecting you in this manner?

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

Only time I was touched inappropriately was putting bins out one night when I cleaned a school, caretaker decided to grab my bum, I think it took him a couple of hours to find his testicles as I'd kicked him so hard. Silly to creep up on someone on the dark.

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

As a builder working on site it wasn't expected nor wanted.

It's strange how one regrets career choices sometimes.

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

I never expected it but it was fun.

Re: should you expect sexual harassment at work ?

People are now much wiser in their attitudes to harassment, discrimination and how they conduct themselves in the workplace than, say, in the 1970s-80s when anything was "acceptable".

It depends on the level of harassment of course, but a slightly mistaken 'brush' against a member of the opposite (or same) sex or a pat on the arm for instance, should be discarded as nothing more than a workplace occurence. Stroking a collegue's leg - or worse - has some clout about it and that then should be up to the individual to take things further.

On my night shift, there are 17 blokes and one young lady, a lithuanian. Although she is (a) not British and (b) rather attractive, absolutely none of us would dream of any unnecessary verbal or physical intereference towards her. She is a great young woman who mixes very well with all of us as an equal member of our team.
