Beyond Pay?

Posted by Cliff on from the if-it-isn't-worth-it-find-another-job dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I was wondering if Slashdot readers have encountered harassment in the workplace, and how they have dealt with it. In particular, when working for technology-based companies. Examples of this include the company forcing employees to put in extra (unpaid) hours, with the implicit/explicit threat of loosing the job if they don't, to actual personal harassment in the work place by management staff. My experience is that even in cases where the employee is completely right, it is impossible for her to win the case, given current employment law."

    The subject describes my physical appearance.

    I've never had problems with harassment.

    I should also mention that I'm self employed, and work at home with my wife :)

    It could be worse!!

    My boss use to exposes me to porn all the time and then used to fondle me.

    I was self-employed at the time and diden't have any employees.
