Hi
I work at a small company. Several months ago we hired a new technician that was suppose to be my junior and me to be the lead project manager. From her rainbow flags and etc it was clear she was gay. Great, I have friends of all backgrounds, including gay. From the start she was very combative, did not do what I asked of her and was effecting work. I brought this up to our founders (which is our HR, as we are a small company). She also crossed other lines of privacy and whats appropriate at work, talking about her period and her partners UTI infections. Recently she has started displaying a "MAN-HATER" pin, in big black bold letters, on her work bag. I feel this is very in-appropriate and sexual harassment. I am a man, and the way I see it is that she hates me because of my gender, a man. I brought this up to our "HR" who confirmed that they have noticed the tag on her bag, and are working it out with her. Its been months and the tag remains. Clearly "HR" has not taken care of this. I had a meeting with the founders and told them that I would not work with anybody who is hateful and hates me because of my gender, which she publicly demonstrates everyday. I have always gotten along with everyone I have worked with and am very accepting of all, but this is ridiculous. Do I have a sexual discrimination case here?
