Alicia is a twenty-eight years old supervisor in a five-star hotel, she
was aspiring to become the section manager of the steward department. So she
submitted her application together with the pertinent papers required by the
higher position.
After a few days her attention was called for an interview by the manager
of the hotel. So, she reported to the office of the manager for an interview.
During the interview the potbellied and burly hotel manager asked her to stand
and come near him. Then he immediately grabbed her behind and salaciously said
to her: “You have a nice behind, I want you in bed with me tonight!”
Alicia fiercely answered back, slapped the manager and she said to him: “You
bastard you have no right to do it!” I will report you to the president of this
hotel and I will also report you to the police for violating me!” The manager
begged the woman not to do it but she had already decided to report his acts of
sexual harassment.
Sexual harassers could be a man or a woman and it’s not solely about a
person’s desire to have sex with his/her prey. Primarily sexual harassment
emanates from a person’s desire to dominate a certain individual. Who is
applying for a higher position or who is asking for a favor from a person with
a higher organizational authority.
Therefore, sexual harassment is actually about individuals who are power
trippers! They use their power as a leverage to take advantage of their
prospective prey or victim. It’s
actually very hard to be in conflict with them for the simple reason that they
are very powerful!
However, if you want to stop these sex maniacs you have no other choice
but to have the courage to expose them! Nevermind if you might be ostracized or
even if others will not believe you for doing so.
Why is it that you might be ostracized or others will not believe in
you? For the simple reason that these sex maniacs are very powerful and they
have their own network of very powerful people to even destroy your
credibility.
Nevertheless, you have to have the courage to vigorously expose them no
matter how powerful they are! For this is the only way that you can stop sexual
harassment in the workplace. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
