Shirley Wright’s comment makes me more likely to file a formal complaint. Due to the fact that these new employees are making sexual references that are offensive and should not happen in the workplace, I feel that they should be punished. I do not agree with the punishment because I believe someone should be reprimanded but not fired. This is a first time occurrence so I don’t see why someone should get fired for that. I think they should be reprimanded and if it’s something that they continue to do then their punishment should be getting fired from their job.
1. Evaluate the conduct of Peter Lewiston against the EEOCs definition of sexual harassment. According to EEOC it is unlawful to harass a person because of that person's sex. Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances, request of sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of sexual nature. From my point of view when I evaluate the case I come to the conclusion that whenever the person feel uncomfortable with the approach and they try to stop the other person, without any luck, it is harassment.

• Sexual harassment includes: o unwanted attention or touching o sexual propositions o leering or staring o offensive language o displaying nude images o persistent requests for dates o crude or offensive jokes. • Harassment will not be tolerated and disciplinary action will be taken against those responsible. Inclusive language • When writing internal or external documents, ensure that non-sexist and non-racist language is used by: o avoiding male-dominated terms (e.g. use ‘chair’ or ‘chairperson’ instead of ‘chairman’) o eliminating the unnecessary use of the person’s gender (e.g. ‘female Manager’) o avoiding the use of ‘he’ or ‘she’ (use ‘their’ instead of ‘his’ or ‘her’).
This means that the behavior altered the terms, conditions, and/or reasonable expectations of a comfortable work environment for employees. Additionally, the behavior, actions or communications must be discriminatory in nature. A coworker who tells sexually explicit jokes and sends around images of nude people, is guilty of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. In conclusion I do think that Ms. Darcy has a case against Big Car Company due to the fact they let the harassment go on when she complained plenty of times. After she complained Mr. Clarance was suspend and Ms. Darcy was removed from that area to a lower paying job also it was stated that he would at least be 300 feet away from her and at the beginning it was like that then they moved her to 30 feet away from him.
If the friendship became too close it could make it difficult to accept direction and give the necessary respect in the work place. If the relationship became of a sexual nature it could also cause problems amongst the other staff and would definitely cause gossip. If too much is revealed about private lives it can also be used to bully or be bullied. Professional relationships should be respectful, work focussed and the boundaries should never be crossed. 2.
The second is defined as “hostile work environment”, which occurs when individuals are feeling uncomfortable because of working in an offensive or sexist work environment. Sexual harassment also have been found to be mainly about men wanting to exercise their power over women because of their disadvantaged status at work (Wilson & Thompson, 2001). It also have been found that sexual harassment is much more present in certain work situations as industries where the power is represented by one sex. If the climate in a company is disrespectful and this ambiance increases, acts of sexual harassment could be seen as normal (Hearn & Parkin, 2005). If somebody is used to that “workplace incivility”, he will be less likely to report an inadequate behavior in the organization and then sort of encourage this to continue (Miner-Rubino and Cortina,

Sexual Harassment It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.
