Sexual Harassment In The Workplace Is More Common Than You Think. Working in a nice office with a great salary and other perks sounds like a dream, but if your colleagues and supervisors don’t have good intentions, it can quickly become a nightmare.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is sadly commonplace. In 2016 alone, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 6,758 claims from employees who experienced sexual harassment and fined companies about $4o million as a result. Only 35 percent of sexual harassment incidents are reported, so the actual number of claims should be much higher.
