In The Hostile Work Place Podcast, Episode #2, we discuss the most explosive of work subjects, sexual harassment.  During the show we explain how the U.S. Supreme Court recognizes two types of sexual harassment:Quid Pro Quo (latin for "something traded for something")Hostile Work Environment based on sex We also explain how you can evaluate whether or not an action can be considered sexual harassment by using the idea of "unwelcomeness".If unwelcomness is established, a court will look to four factors to evaluate whether a hostile work environment based on sex exists.  Those four factors are:Frequency of the offensive conductSeverity of the offensive conductWhether the offensive conduct was physically threatening or intimidatingWhether the offensive conduct interfered with the performance of your job duties The case where these four factors were discussed most recently is Reeves v. C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. (April 28, 2008).The two U.S. Supreme Court cases mentioned in the show are Burlington v. Ellerth
