00:00:07.767 --> 00:00:08.966
Beautiful?!?

00:00:09.952 --> 00:00:15.590
Libby. Gina, you are beautiful. Have
you ever considered dating a co‐worker

00:00:15.615 --> 00:00:20.244
that thinks you are hot? That little
dress you wore yesterday did it for me.

00:00:20.269 --> 00:00:23.420
Please e‐mail me back if interested.
Ginafan.

00:00:24.142 --> 00:00:28.612
The e‐mail address is, listen
to this – Ginafan@server.net.

00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:33.170
He has an e‐mail address with my
name on it. Who is this guy?

00:00:33.214 --> 00:00:35.877
Well, are you? Interested?

00:00:36.044 --> 00:00:42.052
I don’t think so. How’d he get my address?
A co‐worker … duh.

00:00:43.432 --> 00:00:45.853
Lovely. Just lovely.

00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:53.575
Who says …

00:00:55.588 --> 00:01:01.129
Who says I’m a guy fan? Give a girl a
chance. I am very caring and attentive.

00:01:01.209 --> 00:01:05.615
PLEASE mail me back if you have ever
thought about giving a girl a whirl.

00:01:05.759 --> 00:01:10.216
Yuck. It’s a chick. Who’s this Ginafan?

00:01:14.429 --> 00:01:17.336
How’d she know I thought
she was a guy, anyhow?

00:01:18.336 --> 00:01:20.309
She must be a mind reader
or something.

00:01:20.334 --> 00:01:26.355
Okay. Now I am really weirded out.
Thanks, but no thanks.

00:01:40.907 --> 00:01:45.148
Yuck? You are a close minded
@##@%! WHAT is your problem?

00:01:45.149 --> 00:01:49.304
Thanks, but no thanks? WHO do you
think you are? No longer a Ginafan.

00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:04.559
There is nothing wrong with asking
someone to go out socially.

00:02:04.733 --> 00:02:09.923
But once a person says no or does not respond
in a positive manner to such requests,

00:02:10.089 --> 00:02:14.514
you should immediately stop pursuing
a non-work related relationship.

00:02:14.777 --> 00:02:18.735
It was made clear that the offer
was not welcome by not responding.

00:02:18.941 --> 00:02:21.977
If the behavior would have ended
there, as it should have,

00:02:22.002 --> 00:02:26.195
it would not be considered hostile
work environment sexual harassment.

00:02:26.406 --> 00:02:31.817
But when a behavior escalates and continues
once it has been established as unwelcomed,

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.795
it certainly does have the
potential to be sexual harassment.

00:02:36.097 --> 00:02:39.896
All of us should be extra cautious
of our electronic communication.

00:02:40.205 --> 00:02:44.368
When writing an email, we all tend ot be
much less formal that we should be –

00:02:44.393 --> 00:02:48.612
feeling very free to express our
feelings in a non-professional manner.

00:02:49.001 --> 00:02:54.325
Never include in your communications
sexually suggestive comments, requests,

00:02:54.350 --> 00:02:58.999
jokes or send internet links
to sexually suggestive sites.
