FOOD FOR THOUGHT: OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR AT WORK

The EEOC clearly states, “…Federal law does not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not “extremely serious.” The conditions of employment are altered only if the harassment culminated in a tangible employment action (firing, demotion, transfer, etc.) or was sufficiently severe or pervasive as to create a hostile work environment.”
