SEXUAL HARASSMENT, TEXTING, AND THE CA WORKPLACE

As many male and female CA workers can attest, sexual harassment isn’t about being chased around the desk anymore. It’s about flirtation, hidden messages, retaliation and, of course, text messages. Where as in person, you can read your co-workers (or boss’s) body language and hear the tone in his or her voice, over text message or email or instant message, that is not possible. Often, we take what we read literally and can easily interpret a message to fall into the category of ‘textual’ harassment.

If your boss or a co-workers is textually harassing you, keep the text messages. This is evidence you and your skilled employment attorney can use in court to prove that your workplace has become a hostile environment and that you are the victim of sexual harassment. CA and federal law protect men and women against sexual harassment, whether it be through text messages, emails, or in-person jokes. Stand up for your rights — don’t let your employer sexually harass you.
