Bonnie works for thermal appliances, inc. as a salesperson. in her twelve years with the company, she has experienced occasional situations in which male employees have told sexually-explicit jokes in her presence, sent sexually-explicit emails, and made inappropriate comments about her clothing and appearance. over the years, bonnie has informed her superiors of the inappropriate behavior, but no measures were ever taken to condemn it. she recently decided that this behavior was bothering her to the point of affecting her work and her desire to stay with the company. because of this she made an appointment to speak with a lawyer about her options. what will her lawyer's advice most likely be?

I think the best advice from her lawyer is that Bonnie has a good case against her company for hostile work environment sexual harassment. But there are other bits of advice that might the lawyer give but it might fit the situation. Like she should have made the complaint when the sexual harassment first began because now she has no case.

Bonnie's legal counsel will definitely advice her to file a case of Sexual harassment against his male colleagues. Sexual comments about Bonnie's appearance and clothing, sending emails that are inappropriate are the basis that she is being harassed. Her legal counsel will also advice Bonnie to file also a complaint against the Supervisor because her complaint was neglected and it is a sign that they are tolerating sexual harassment in the workplace.
