Abstract: This article examines a sexual harassment and retaliation case that addresses whether the harassing conduct alleged was “sufficiently severe or pervasive” for the plaintiff to prevail. Although the answer in this case was no, a sidebar discusses a case with a different outcome. In any event, it’s critical that employers properly train and regularly remind supervisors to avoid inappropriate situations with subordinates.
