Question
I just started this job 2 weeks ago as the CEO’s personal assistant. He is married 3x and is a very charismatic man, the CEO of a self-built multi-million empire. After a few days, he suddenly asked me if he could take me out to diner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me. [1] It was then, she relates, that she knew he wanted to sleep with her. In her words, she’s “totally not interested, but wants to preserve the job by not rejecting him.” So she made an excuse to get out of it and her post continues: “He then bothered me for hours about giving him good reasons why I couldn’t go. Then he said OK, next week we will go to Milan! He is a very powerful man, and I just get nervous of him. But I really do not want to lose my job. What should I do?”
The poster called Srta. Argentina answers, “He can’t fire you because you rejected his sexual advances. You can sue him if he does. And you can file a sexual harassment claim against him.” [4] What is sexual harassment? Sketch the harassment case against the CEO. At what point in the chronology does the CEO’s behavior cross from the ethically acceptable to the unacceptable? Why? If the CEO hired you to form an ethical defense of his behavior, what would the case look like?
Explanation / Answer
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when either: The conduct is made as a term or condition of an individual's employment, education, living environment or participation in a University community.
CEO of XYZ Company is in a surprise move last week. Many dramatic and interesting turns look in his life. Sources have stated that there are very vague statements regarding the harassment case with one of his employee. They both were seen at Vegas hanging out and dating each other. A report in the Economic Times said, among several factors that might have led to the shock removal of ministry from his present company, one such case which might have added to his woes was a case of sexual harassment. On 1ST March, a probe committee formed will investigate into the matter; however, the panel is yet to submit its report. Let wait and watch for the fortune of XYZ Group CEO and his Employee.
His behaviour turned unethical when he asked only one of his employees for a hangout with him and asking her reasons for saying no. She had to say yes to save her job. He can’t force someone to go with him it he or she is not willing.
CEO of XYZ Company has been in limelight since last week for a girl accusing him of a sexual harassment against her. I would like to bring few facts in a light that he offered her to attend a meeting at Vegas because she was the main team member who knew all the ins and outs of the project. At first, she resisted and he asked reasons to go for a meeting as this was part of her job too. She assumed negative things because she herself was interested in her. Sources are investigating the case and currently, we are not in a position to claim a harassment case against the CEO.
