Inappropriate Behavior From The Eatery Business

1. The sexual harassment issue experienced by Julie from her co-worker, as well as the “ogling” she faced

In corporate America, sexual harassment is a huge concern amongst many organizations. The matter of sexual harassment is an issue that needs to be immediately attended to in

Harassment, specifically sexual harassment, is one of those challenges faced by businesses and employers as of a result of workplace diversification. Inappropriate conversations, unwanted advances and uncomfortable physical contact are some of the ways sexual harassment can occur. According to Hellriegel and Slocum, “Sexual harassment refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.” (p.52). To be clear, sexual harassment can, and has, affected both women and men over the years however up to half of all working women have reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment in the career (Vijayasiri, 2008, p.1). It wasn’t until 1986 though that the Supreme Court recognized sexual harassment as a violation of Title VII in the case of Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson (O’Brien, 1994, p. 1). Before the high court’s ruling, however, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had begun to address the issue by drafting hostile work environment guidelines that included sexual harassment (O’Brien, 1994, p. 4). These guidelines would serve later to guide the high court’s decision. There are many more cases like this one we could look at. In 1991, sexual harassment became a household term as Anita Hill testified before congress stating she was sexually

Recently, a number of researchers have included sexual harassment behaviours in their definitions of workplace violence and aggression.

We as society should not have to be worry about dining out or about seeing a violation sign stating this restaurant

The final topic I want to deliberate on is sexual harassment in the place of work. Sexual harassment should not be taken casually. Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual advances, demand of sexual favoritisms, and further oral, or physical behavior of a sexual occurrence. Sexual harassment is considered illegal because it causes productivity problems in the workplace. There are particular steps a manager needs to keep an eye on in the case of sexual harassment. The manager needs to supply written warnings first. The next step is suspension, demotion, and termination of employment (Cascio, 2013, p. 99).

I am glad that this part of the kitchen is so dark, because I find myself blushing as hard as if I had been caught toking up in the ladies ' room myself: I haven 't been treated this way - lined up in the corridor, threatened with locker searches, peppered with carelessly aimed accusations - since junior high school. Back on the floor, Joan cracks, "Next they 'll be telling us we can 't have sex on the job." When I ask Stu what happened to inspire the crackdown, he just mutters about "management decisions" and takes the opportunity to upbraid Gail and me for being too generous, with the rolls. From now on there 's to be only one per customer, and it goes out with the dinner, not with the salad. He 's also been riding the cooks, prompting Andy to come out of the kitchen and observe - with the serenity of a man whose customary implement is a butcher knife - that "Stu has a death wish

Sexual harassment. Those of us who desired the same type of jobs men always filled were caught in this demoralizing quandary. Once tearing up our membership cards to the “Love Generation,” we expected our decorum, practices, and sometimes reckless behavior to recede in memories, along with our college persona (s). But new bosses, still 97% heterosexual male assumed, generally by virtue of our age would willing trade sex for a little bump up the corporate ladder. I recall once I was promoted to “Account Manager,” the task of entertaining big clients was just part of the job. Males in with the same job title had expense accounts to cover “business” lunches/dinners, just like I did/ But the biggest difference was they were allotted funds for “Girly Bars,” and prostitutes under the heading of “entertainment.” I was not. When I asked if I could take clients to a play or event as a means of entertainment, I thought my boss was going to laugh himself into a stroke! Hey! YOU wanted the job, so YOU can entertain them! Somehow this was just not the future, I dreamed

The workers there are more girls than guys. The girls are the waiters and the cooks are the

According to Amelia Bonow, there are certain things to consider before giving sexual attention to a female bartender or server. . For instance, a woman is expected to smile and say thank you, even if she feels mildly affronted, even if she is disgusted- she is forced to suspend these opinions at work. For example, say you have a boss that creeps you out, and one day he gives you a present, in front of all of your employees. It isn’t your birthday but you feel that you have no choice, but to open it. “What are you waiting for?”, he says, smiling. So you open it up gradually as everyone watches in

According the article, “Sexual Harassment and Masculinity: The Power and Meaning of ‘Girl Watching’”, by Beth A. Quinn, a large number of women experience sexual harassment at work. Quinn also describes a form sexual harassment, “girl watching”. Sexual harassments have many bad consequences in a work place, and sexual harassments’ workshops should make men and women aware of the “girl watching” behavior. According to a study and in-depth interviews with 43 employed men and women by Paula, sexual harassments are unfortunately still somewhat common in offices.

It is no secret that women are subjected to unwanted sexual advances on a daily basis and According to STOP Street harassment website,” In June 2014, SSH commissioned a 2,000-person national survey in the USA with surveying firm GfK. The survey found that 65% of all women had experienced street harassment. Among all women, 23% had been sexually touched, 20% had been followed, and 9% had been forced to do something sexual.” This data gives us an insight on what women deal with just on the street, so what about a place where fulfillment of sexual desire is meant to be the goal? If women are subjected to sexual advances on the street where no imminent goal is present, then what about locations where sex is “in the air?” To address this question I am going to focus this paper on talking about and explaining why these unwelcomed sexual advances happen regularly in bar settings. For this analysis, I visited the local bar, Two Doors Down, so that I could observe the behaviors of the people who attended the bar and the conversations and body language between male and female individuals. I will use Social learning theory and cross cultural perspective to explain why these events took place.

Objectifying women is the second unethical practice at Hooter’s Inc. The Hooters Girls are being physically objectified in the workplace. The Hooter’s Girls must keep up with an objectifying appearance, as well as act a certain way when dealing with their customers (Hooters.com). They must act in a way that they are selling their personalities, to their customers. Customers are more drawn to the Hooter’s Inc. establishment for the “Hooter’s experience” than because of the food being sold at the restaurant. Many of the waitresses may feel as if this is a degrading position. This has led to an unethical work environment.

Another form of sexual harassment is a hostile work environment. The hostile environment theory involves sexual advances between the supervisor and the employee. An employee’s work performance will be less effective due to these so-called sexual advances. However, a victim can file a complaint against their harasser so that they do not continuously force them to participate. Consequently, they will be forced to hand in their resignation. [This is an issue of power and has nothing to do with sex. For this reason, both male and females can be the harasser. The harasser’s main purpose is to force another to feel or act in a certain way. Sometimes, sexual harassment causes an individual from effectively performing his/her job. As a result, is undermines an individual’s dignity. In our society, there are three essential factors that relate to the issue of sexual advances. These elements are a divergence of perceptions, the complexity of human behavior and the attitudes of a sexist.]
