Supervision of employees, normal workplaces conflicts, and office romances accepted by both parties are not workplace harassment or violence.
These actions must be done in a professional and respectful manner. Yelling, swearing and name-calling while performing these actions can be considered harassment.
Actions taken by employers or supervisors in the normal course of evaluating and supervising employees are not workplace harassment. This includes...
Normal workplace conflict and differences of opinion are not workplace harassment. Laws against sexual harassment do not rule out office romance, flirtation, or good-natured jesting that is accepted by both parties.
