Sexual Harassment

 On march 23^rd it was reported that there was a fire. A jeep belonging to the president of JD Financial was ablaze across the street from the B.T.L. Park.  The vehicle was parked while Joseph Marinan was asleep in his apartment. Marinan is known for his business interest in MegaBingo.  He believes that the torching of his vehicle is related to his company. Marinan had recently suspended one of his employees Rachel Armstrong under accusations of stealing from the company.Armstrong in return raised accusations of being sexually harassed by her employer. She strongly denied having anything to do with the destroying of Marinan’s jeep and accusations of stealing from the company.

I believe that this whole situation has escalated to this level because something had been going on at MegaBingo and it had been brought to light, so now fingers are being pointed back and forth. Sexual harassment and assault are often times not reported when they take place within the workplace due to the fear of losing one’s job. Even though it goes unreported many times, this does not make it right. Often times victims of sexual harassment or assault are threatened or bribed so they do not speak out against what is taking place.

I recommend that employees school there employers on what is considered to be sexual harassment. Employers should be encouraged to speak up against it an report any incidents of sexual harassment taking place in the workplace. Employers and employees should not encourage any kind of relationship within the workplace that can be harmful or detrimental to the workplace. Employees should not be allowed to have any relationships other than a work relationship with other employees so as to avoid cases of sexual harassment.
