William sent an E-mail message to an employee recently assigned to his team
complimenting her on her dress. Later she was reprimanded for poor
performance. She responded that this must have been caused by her refusal to
become involved with William. William is stunned and denies doing or saying
anything that could be construed as sexual harassment. What advice would you
offer William?
A. Quit and find another job.
B. Don't worry. Everyone knows that this employee is unstable.
C. Cooperate fully in the investigation. If the only evidence of sexual harassment
is an occasional compliment on an employee's choice of clothing, it is hard to
imagine that this would create a hostile work environment.
D. Take a training course on sexual harassment.
E. Hire a good lawyer.
