SEXUAL HARASSMENT • You have been employed for one year as a receptionist. During this time, you have gained the experience necessary to perform as an Administrative Assistant, a higher paying position. An Administrative Assistant position becomes available and you apply. Subsequently, your boss asks you to come into his office and informs you are promoted. You thank him for this opportunity. He then tells you, “Remember, you owe me one.” He then hugs you, and whispers in your ear, “You know what I mean.” You quickly push him away and respond, “You know I have a boyfriend and I’m not interested in you.” You again thank him for the promotion and leave his office. The following day, the boss calls you back into his office and tells you that he will promote your co-worker instead.
