A proposed amended lawsuit alleges HelloFresh and staffing agencies denied Hispanic temporary workers bathroom breaks at a Newark facility. HelloFresh denies the claims.
The complaint further accuses supervisors of physical assaults, including beating employees, placing their hands around workers’ necks, and screaming into their ears. Some workers allegedly struggled to obtain medical treatment for workplace injuries.
Female Hispanic employees reportedly faced unwanted touching, sexual propositions, and exposure to pornography and images of supervisors’ genitalia. The complaint also alleges that managers used loaves of bread and cucumbers to simulate sexual acts.
I find childish antics funny that’s just a weakness of mine, but agree that when used threateningly like this as pre-cursor to sexual abuse is just horrific
I take it that a colleague that you know well has never come up to you with a cucumber at crotch height, plonked it on your desk, and said with a grin “so how about that then?”
I work with adults who mask their immaturity behind a thin veil of professionalism, but comes out in unexpected ways when certain topics come up. Others are a bit more candid and easier to get along with, because you know exactly what they’re thinking
the last one is a bit funny, if its just workplace banter. If used as a threat for further abuse… fucking hell
Sexual harassment is not funny.

You’re free to find childish antics funny, but those kinds of “childish antics” don’t belong in the workplace whether used threateningly or not.
If you think that kind of thing is appropriate in the workplace if it’s “just a joke” then you have some growing up to do yet.

Nope. That’s the behavior of teenaged boys who still lack maturity. I work with adults that know how to behave like adults, not children.

Like attracts like.
What even is the joke there?
“look at my massive wang, you knob cheese” ?
