[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The suggestion from multiple employment law attorneys to ignore this is interesting to me. Personally, I wouldn't ignore it. I would bring it up to the supervisor. The summer is almost over, true, but hopefully the supervisor will be able to set clear policies for next years crew and establish a clear anti-bullying policy, violations of which should be punishable by termination. I think clear policies with clearly outlined consequences go a long way to stopping that sort of juvenile behavior. The ability to get a drowning person out of the water is what qualifies her for the job, and she's not required to have any particular body type. I also don't think you do the male lifeguards any favors since they may escalate the bullying with someone else and find themselves terminated for behavior that was previously tolerated. They are two misogynistic little twerps and that's not going to serve them well in the long run.[/quote]

There is no way to know if they are misogynistic. They may be making the same sounds about the male lifeguard who is also overweight. I know a teen boy who is overweight and other boys and girls work the word whale and whale related words and sounds into all kinds of conversations around him. It isn't necessarily misandry.[/quote]

Apparently she's the only one being teased here so her gender does appear to be an issue. But, I agree that a male could be harassed for being overweight.[/quote]

Seeing as they do it quietly as they walk past, they could be doing it to others. Likely the other guards aren't aware that they are doing it to Ops daughter and she may not be aware they are doing it to others. [/quote]
