Recently, a female employee reported in a bank's work group with her real name, accusing a leader of repeatedly pressuring and having sex. After the screenshot of the report was circulated on the Internet, it sparked widespread heated discussions. The incident has raised concerns about sexual harassment in the workplace, with many people questioning the authenticity of the screenshots and pondering why women are vulnerable to sexual harassment in the workplace.
However, before this incident, many people were no strangers to sexual harassment in the workplace. In some industries, such as the "three no-marry" industries, workplace sexual harassment is not uncommon. The emergence of sexual harassment in the workplace is mainly related to the power structure in the workplace. Power can make the owner arrogant and forget who he really is. They may mistakenly think that they are so good at something that every female subordinate gives them a wink. Without moral restraint, it is easy for them to cross the line and engage in harassing behavior.
As a working woman, how can you prevent being harassed by your superiors?Here are four ways to do this: don't have unrealistic illusions, keep a safe distance, say "no" in a timely manner, and have the courage to defend your rights.
First of all, women in the workplace should be clear about the fact that your progress and promotion are proven by performance, not through other means. Having unrealistic fantasies will only create opportunities for harassment from superiors. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear mind, be clear about your position in the workplace, and do not expect to progress through other improper means.
Secondly, it is also very important to maintain a safe distance. This means wearing appropriate professional attire in the workplace and not being too feminine. Remember, you're hired to work, not to be a model. If you dress too femininely, it's easy to trigger unrealistic fantasies from your superiors, which in turn will lead them to covet you. When reporting to your superiors, keep an appropriate distance, avoid physical contact, and maintain the same principles when communicating with others. Don't give the leader as a driver to avoid the opportunity for the two to be alone. Because the opposite sex does not maintain a proper social distance, it is easy to trigger unrealistic fantasies. As shown in the screenshot of the report, the car earthquake incident occurred because it occurred in the private space of the car.
Third, say "no" in a timely manner to stop harassment. Studies have shown that as soon as workplace harassment occurs for the first time and one party resolutely stops it, the harasser stops. And if left unchecked, harassment often worsens. If the harassment persists after saying "no" in time, you should have the courage to report it. Don't believe the promises of harassers, they're just thrill-seeking and toying you. Compared to your brilliant future and happy family, their promises are only illusory illusions. If harassment persists, it is the right way to report it and protect your rights and interests in a timely manner.
Preventing sexual harassment in the workplace is an issue that every female professional should pay attention to. We cannot ignore these issues, nor can we suffer in silence. As a working woman, I have learned a lot from this incident. First of all, we should establish a correct concept of the workplace and prove our worth through actual work ability, rather than through other improper means. Secondly, maintaining an appropriate distance is an important means of preventing sexual harassment, and we should keep a clear head, dress appropriately, and not give false hints to others. At the same time, it is an effective way to protect your rights and interests by stopping harassment in a timely manner and having the courage to report and defend your rights.
I believe that only when everyone in the workplace is raised and more aware of prevention can we work together to create a work environment free of sexual harassment. Everyone, male and female, deserves to be treated with respect and protection, and not to be bothered by sexual harassment. Let's work together to contribute to the brightness of the workplace.
This sexual harassment incident makes us think about whether the female employee's report is true and whether there is another purpose behind it. I hope everyone can start a discussion on this and work together to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
