What’s the minimum one has to endure to call it sexual harassment?
Commenting unsexually on people's appearance is just regular harassment.
Harassment can be many things. Sometimes it can be nothing it all, if not doing something is the harassment, like withholding information.
If you deliberately withhold information from one gender, then the non-action is sexual harassment.
So really, there is no minimum threshold for harassment, sexual or not.
I think the previous poster means that some kinds of harassment are worse than others. Getting physically attacked is obviously worse, but I disagree that lesser types of harassment should refrain from being called out to reserve the word for worse types. My opinion is directly opposite: We shouldn't neglect any kind of harassment just because someone has it worse.
Our training says, basically, anything that makes anyone feel uncomfortable - pretty much for any reason whatsoever - is harassment, and if there's anything sexual in the context whatsoever, that makes it sexual harassment.
Our reality is that people who are overly sensitive and probably complaining to HR on a regular basis about "normal" (whatever that is) workplace behavior tend to be downsized due to a diminished need for their role within the company.
That’s what I was going for, but I hadn’t the time to type it out. So thanks!
This would fall under discrimination, but I agree with the no minimum threshold comment. If you think you are being harassed you should report it to HR or your manager (or get another job if necessary). Don't put up with that shit.
Would you consider it harassment if it is the entire department doing it to each other for shits and giggles and all laughing about it and people are not actually getting butt hurt about it? I mean I'm sure it's probably still against policy, but if more of a friendly kind of a thing that you guys are harassing each other all day long and that's just kind of how you play with each other you know?
If people are getting butt hurt then it could not be considered shits and giggles. Not really my area of expertise, so maybe I am misinterpreting these technical terms.
I think I missed a word in there. Sorry about that. I'm bad at typos (or i suppose really good at them and they're my forte lol)
It was supposed to be more or less 'if it's all fun and games and no one is getting upset and taking it personally'
Depends on the workplace then.
It's just funny thinking back because I started and I was such a quiet, shy timid little mouse. And slowly over time after they had asked their polite questions and got to know me a little better, they started a gentle teasing. Over the course of a few years I was just one of the girls. It felt like you know. But yeah I certainly don't know if I've ever had a job. Quite that was as quote relaxed with co-workers as that so I can understand it was probably very atypical.
