Sure, but would you initiate a hostile work environment claim or try to get someone fired using Twitter because of it?



> would you initiate a hostile work environment claim

I most definitely would. And if that didn’t work, I might post to Twitter about it.


Absolutely. I wouldn't want to work with someone that wouldn't. I might not raise hell over a one off inappropriate comment. But it if it becomes a regular thing. At a previous company I went to the owner and flat out said that a particular employee was sexually harrassing people. He knew it already and it was creating a toxic environment. I outright said that if someone files a lawsuit and it makes it into the local newspapers, this company is done. I left shortly after, within a year a large percentage of the other employees did also.
