Does this qualify as sexual harassment?
My first job was working at McDonalds, and this is where this took place. One of my managers ran the night shift as since I was about 16-17 at the time the night shift was about all I could do during the week. Anyways he was gay and I am straight. He would often stare at me and make extremely crude comments towards me like about my butt, and genitals. He even went as far as to tell me he would f**k me. Im wondering if this would legally be considered sexual harassment, plenty of my coworkers can vouch for me in saying these stories and more are true. Also a side question, does him making fun of my weight by saying things such as "you clearly dont need to eat more of this food" and "I see youre putting on more weight" count as harassment as well?
If someone is making comments about you that make you feel uncomfortable, it's actionable, even if it's just you taking that person aside to say, "Hey. You might be joking around, but those comments really do make me feel uncomfortable and I'd appreciate it if you could tone it down." That said, I definitely think what you experienced was harassment, no matter what your manager's orientation may be. You were not legally an adult, either, which makes it worse. Teens are still developing a sense of their bodies at that age, and for an adult to make comments like that can be very damaging to a young woman. If you're touched or talked to in a way that you feel crosses a boundary, you have a right to escalate that situation to the perpetrator can be disciplined or educated according to the company's policies. The last thing any company wants is for an employee to victimize other employees while at work, and the longer it goes unreported, the longer he will be free to harass others. I don't know how old you are now or what you're considering along the lines of reporting this issue, but do what you feel is best for you first. If you're not legally an adult, consult your parents or guardians as well so you can have their support and understanding with any action you decide to take. They may even have some insights or experiences to share that you may not know about. Take care.
