Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in New York
Affairs in the office
My boss has been having on-going sexual relations with some of my colleagues. This is a major corporation and after speaking with the Ombudsman, I have learned that there is a ''zero tolerance'' policy on this behavior. I have always suspected that he was not equitable in his treatment of staff with respect to benefits, bonuses, etc.. My suspicions wee confirmed. After having conversations with one of the women who had an affair with him, I learned that he discussed other employees during these interludes, including me. I have not been able to get this out of my head and left the company, giving up a six figure income, to remove myself from that environment. Due I have any recourse?? There are more colleagues who feel victimized as well.

Re: Affairs in the office
You may have, depending on far more details than
you present here. When did this happen? How long
ago did you leave? What were the precise details
of your leaving? All are factors. Were you in any
way sexually harassed yourself? or just denied
promotional opportunities because you were not
offered a " quid pro quo" of sex for business
favors? All of the foregoing would impact on what
rights you have. Did you sign any documents waiving
your right to sue them, in any way? We need to
know more than presented here. It sounds like it
COULD be actionable....
