• Hostile work environment harassment is the other
  type of sexual harassment that is recognized
  under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
  With hostile work environment harassment, the
  offender doesnt have to be superior to the
  victim. They could be coworkers for example or
  even work in different departments. Under this
  harassment, the employee must feel uncomfortable
  and offended. Under quid pro quo, this can be
  just a single incident.
