Question for Employment Lawyers re: sexual harassment

Anonymous
OP, from what I can see your case is very weak and wouldn't get far in actual court. Doesn't mean you can't try and use it for leverage, though.

Good luck.

If you're getting laid off, you'll probably get a severance. Start looking for a new job now and take the severance offer before creating some fiction that just makes you look silly and risks your relationship.

Holy hell OP, you sound like a nightmare employee.

PS- a sexual harassment suit is about one of the worst things you can do for your own career. It will absolutely come back to haunt you.

Question for the OP: If you've known since last year this was a possibility, have you made any efforts to find another job in your company that is safe? Or even tried to make a niche for yourself?

Personally I have a hard time understanding how you've been a department head based on your comments on this thread. If anything you should be sending your old boss a thank you note for keeping you on as long as he did.

There's too much compelling evidence of a need to reduce. Your complaint of SH will only be bewildering. It doesn't change the restructuring plan or economics of the situation.

Sounds like your position was long overdue for a cut.

Your protection left when he did. At least you're not going to be buried alongside your Benefactor, or burned on his funeral pyre. The benefits ran their course. Did you get any jewelry out of it?

the issue is actually with other women that were laid off. if you weren't subjected to non-biased layoffs because of your relationship, that creates a hostile working environment for those women.

The man was the plan! He retired with his wife, she didn't bank on that.

You sound like a peach. Company lawyers will ruin you.

I think the actions are by management (his former bosses), because they don't like the fact that we were sleeping together (don't know if they know or not).


How would management fire you for sleeping with the old boss if they don't even know about it? From what you said, only the fact that you were sleeping with him saved your job last time, given the broader layoffs at the company.

Focus your efforts on trying to do a good job to stave off a layoff and/or start looking for a new job. Your conceptions of EE law are way off base and it sounds like you would have no case.


I was saved last time, because they can't fire me for sleeping with my boss. That's sexual harassment.


You are either a troll or an idiot. You would not have been fired for sleeping with the boss. You would have been fired as part of a broader layoff. The only reason that did not happen was because you were sleeping with the boss. Your fired colleagues would actually have a possible case bc they could argue that they were fired for not sleeping with the boss. There are cases to that effect, but they are harder to prove than the more typical cases where a boss fired someone for rejecting his advances.

Lol OP must be hot because she is so incredibly dumb. And not just stupid dumb, but airhead dumb. I think we know why the BF hasn't proposed yet. Probably trying to determine if he really can spend his life with an idiot.

I find ops thought process and lack of ability to reason kind of frightening.

OP, fucking your boss doesn't give you blanket protection from being fired.

This, folks, is Exhibit A for the case to keep your pants on at work.

No, sorry, it does not necessarily make it sexual harassment. But you know, your coworkers could potentially look into suing you, him, and the company if you got preferential treatment.

Lol the only people who have any potential lawsuit are your former co-workers who got fired because you couldn't be. Goodness, I seldom come across people as dim as OP, and when I do I'm always shocked that people like her are able to make it to adulthood
