Harassment In The Workplace

Harassment In The Workplace

The incident I will discuss this week occurred in a Chipotle restaurant. This sexual harassment case occurred between a female general manager and a 22-year-old male employee. The male employee accused and reported signs of sexual harassment, verbal and physical (non-verbal). He said to the EEOC that she “frequently discussed her own sex life and posting a daily ‘sex scoreboard’ in the main office concerning all the staff’s sex lives, the general manager told the young shift manager that she wanted to suck his genitals, watch him have sex with his girlfriend, and engage in a threesome. She also frequently slapped, groped and grabbed his privates.” (Elsesser, K, 2019). This was all new to the male employee, who referred to him as Melton in the article. This was Melton’s first real job out of high school. In most sexual harassment cases, you do not hear the male as the victim. Yet this does happen more than most think. 37% of males have reported experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace, yet only 16% of cases are filed with EEOC (Elsesser, K, 2019). The female general manager retaliated and told all the other employees not to speak to Melton and lock him in the walk-in freezer. Melton claimed a settlement of $95,000, and Melton also required Chipotle to improve either policy and retrain 27 different restaurants in the local area so nothing like this ever happens again. Just like Chipotle, we all should strive to create a work environment where all employees feel comfortable coming forward to report all unwelcome behavior.
