Thank you LawResearcherMissy. I am interested in a practical legal definition of what is considered harassment. in the workplace. From what I've been able to find on the FCC's website:
Unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (whether or not of a sexual nature and including same-gender harassment and gender identity harassment), national origin, age (40 and over), disability (mental or physical), sexual orientation, or retaliation (sometimes collectively referred to as “legally protected characteristics”) constitutes harassment when:
The conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a hostile work environment; or
A supervisor’s harassing conduct results in a tangible change in an employee’s employment status or benefits (for example, demotion, termination, failure to promote, etc.).
The comments are coming from a same-sex manager. The manager's sexual orientation is unknown. The comments are being made in the context of a performance evaluation, i.e., "I know your numbers are the best in the office, but you're too thin, you look sick, etc." In this context, I was asking if the comments are inappropriate and/or in violation of law.
If the consensus is that they are not, then fine.
And, I understand that responders to this forum are volunteers. However, I asked a question about a work scenario, and I was given a flippant answer about someone ogling a television personality... And then, the individual, unsatisfied with his/her first response, felt it necessary to make a second flippant response to my question.
That said, I don't think I was out of line or "snippy" at all. I don't have any problem with, and I appreciate a legally correct answer.
