Even in the 21st century, some people simply have not learned that it is inappropriate to tell unwelcome sexual jokes, make unsolicited sexual comments, request sexual favors or engage in a pattern of sexual harassment in the workplace. In addition, some employers do not take complaints of such behavior seriously, and may even retaliate against an employee who complains about in appropriate workplace conduct.
For victims of sexual harassment, the emotional toll can be devastating.
