Yet if I mentioned to the secretary that she looked cute today I'd be in HR before I could finish the sentence.

A coworker openly discussing sexual advances with another coworker who doesn't want is grounds for a sexual harassment claim. Either you're making things up, or you need to stop being walked over and speak up.
Someone's sexuality has nothing to with an unpleasant work environment and actually that's complete discrimination. |
I think you misunderstood. Her discussions were not about me or directed towards me at all. I have no problem with gays/lesbians, but this woman was one of those who knew she could cry "discrimination" the minute someone said something about it, so nobody really questioned her. I agree that some of the things she said/did should have been considered harassment, but I don't think HR wanted to touch that situation with a 10 foot pole unless necessary, fearing she would target them.
The issue was more the open discussion she had daily about her sexuality in the workplace. Regardless of gay/straight it made the environment uncomfortable for those working in it (not just me).
