Its his own fault for even considering flirting/dating/wanting to date with any woman at the workplace. You just open yourself up to a huge can of problems.

But it isn't, everyone works together so well. It really is "the cool place" to work.

I've adopted a "strictly business" policy with the women at work. I communicate only as needed for work and that's all.
I don't like doing this, but I really have no other choice. I just can't take the chance.
What prompted this was my remark to a female co-worker that her hair smelled nice. I had known her for over 20 years at that point. The next day she's acting very cool towards me. After doing some discrete checking around, I find that she was offended by my remark and is considering filing sexual harassment charges against me. I should say that she has a history of this behavior and has followed through in the past. None of her accusations have stuck - yet.
Sexual harassment is what the woman (in this case) deems it to be. It may be a lewd joke, a suggestive remark, that your hair smells nice, or maybe even "Good morning". It's all up to her.
I'm not risking everything on them.

Haven't people learned that you cannot risk that kind of behavior any more? I hear that all the time "Oh, our office is cool, everyone knows they are joking." People better wake up. All someone has to do is say they "felt" threatened or harrassed, and the jig is up. If push comes to shove, who is going to be the fall guy? The guy who was "joking around."
When you play back the "jokes" on the witness stand, they don't sound funny any more.
There are people out there who actually try to encourage harassment so they can build a case for a nice financial settlement. We had one but the person was so obvious about it, no one fell for it.

Wow, no offense but if you consider this a hostile work enviroment, your sheltered.
did I say I considered it one? NO. But some people would. And that's what matters.
Today's workplace can be very unforgiving.

I would bet that you and the OP are both under 25, am I right?

No you didn't, thus, why I said if. Your right some people would, I agree with that.
After spending time working in the field (oil), I just have a hard time relating to some jokes around the office turning into a hostile work environment.
Where I work now, I would never consider dropping the "F bomb" or making "lewd" jokes. It is a professional work environment.
My issue with this is that if you feel you are working in a hostile work environment, you either need to say something to make it clear to the people around you and work together on making it a environment everyone can enjoy or change workplaces/careers. Playing along doesn't help.
I don't think you can deem this as a hostile work environment when she frequently goes out with him outside of work. If she had a serious problem with the way they were interacting, she wouldn't be going to dinner with him outside of work.
Srsly, its easy to understand why housewives were so popular way back...maybe peeps weren't so lacking in understanding back then at all?Originally posted by: ballmode

There's no sexual harassment if there is no sex....
Seriously though, this is totally not sexual harassment. This is just a vindicative bitch.

ALL. SHE. HAS. TO. DO. IS. SAY. IT'S. A. HOSTILE. WORK. ENVIRONMENT.
It doesn't matter if a girl fucked the guy last night. Today she can change her mind if she doesn't want him grabbing her ass.

NONE of that matters. she can fuck every guy in the office. thats her right.
BUT if she does not want some guy comeing up and grabbing her breast or talking about it etc. she does not have to put up iwht it.
Same if one guy/girl she does not fuck talks about it and ask her to sleep with him she does not have to put up with it.
So she can complaine and sue.

I'm not talking about what HR would say, I'm speaking from an objective viewpoint. Seriously, "sexual harassment" claims are rarely anything related to such. If this lady had a problem with this guy joking about this, then she should have pulled him aside and asked him to stop. The fact that she did not do this speaks volumes to how she felt about it.
I work in a corporate office and we don't get away with anything here, but I've been here long enough to know that this situation would be considered sexual harassment in my office, even if it isnt really. Sexual harassment claims, are, for the most part, crutches that people can use when they want to end someone's career. Its like a reverse get out of jail free card.
Harassment, maybe, sexual harassment, definitely not.
