Scenario One

Crystal

Crystal was hesitant to report the derogatory comments about women made by the foreman's brother Carl. You see, Carl has a bit of a chip on his shoulder and pretty much says and does whatever he wants. This is because he knows his brother will protect him.

Well, when Crystal reported the incident, the foreman blew the whole thing off and told her to stop being so sensitive. The foreman then told Crystal that he could transfer her to a different worksite, seeing she is not a good fit for the team.

Crystal cannot believe the foreman's response and is at a loss for words. What should Crystal do?

Correct

Incorrect

Report the incident to HR. The foreman is retaliating against Crystal by threatening to transfer her to another worksite for complaining about Carl’s derogatory comments about women. The best option in this instance is to report the incident to Human Resources.
