Q: My manager has been touching me inappropriately. What can I do?
I've been working at this company for a little over a year. Ever since I started work here my manager has touched me inappropriately by smacking me on the butt. I told her to stop and she did but then the sexual comments followed. It would be things like about how big my butt is and about sexual activities. So I finally told my District Manager, who said she would speak to my manager with the RVP on the phone. After they supposedly talk to her she smacked me on my butt again the very next day. I don't feel that anyone is taking this seriously. What can I do?
A: File a claim with the EEOC for sex discrimination. You can find the intake questionnaire at eeoc.gov. You should also gather any documentation you have to prove that you have reported these instances to the District Manager.
