A workplace example of an ethical dilemma involving harassment. When I was in my ass's I worked at a supermarket in the bakery department, there I was doing the Job as an assistant manager. There were two incidents where there was harassment, one was Just harassment and the other was sexual harassment. The first incident was a guy that would come into the bakery department and he would do such things as, throw strawberries at me and a few times would throw hot water in my face while I was cleaning dishes.
But the one incident with this guy that ally sent me over the top was when I was in the break room and went to go to the bathroom and he asked me if I needed any help, well that really embarrassed me and made me feel very uncomfortable. I did go to my manager, and he had spoken to the store manager and the man was given a verbal warning, that didn't stop the harassment. One day while I was working, a family friend came into the store, he had known the guy, and warned him to leave me alone.
After that I had no more trouble with him. But later on, a man was hired to do the Job I was currently doing, things ere k at first, but then he started harassing me with things such as, putting things in my way so I could not move, calling me names such as baby. Whenever he would ask me a question, it would be " hey baby' or " hey sweetheart," which really made me uncomfortable because other workers would Just give me a look, as if to say "hey what's going on here. One day, he put a rack in my way and called me baby, with no help from the manager after many attempts to rectify the problem, I lost it. I told him " guys that call women baby, honey or sweetheart have little tiny *****, cut off' he then said to e, " well how about we go into the parking lot and you can find out if I am little or tiny," I then said " no I don't have my tweezers and magnifying glass with me. " I know I was wrong in what I said to him, but a person can only take so much before they snap.
This is why good management is needed when dealing with such situations. The man was later fired because I went right to the store manager with this issue. I also had the other co-workers vouch for me and the situation that had occurred. I later found out that this man was hired at another bakery and was arrested for telling. The manager in this situation did not do his Job as a manager, he was good at his job as baker, but lacked the skills in management.
