Our government had announced off work and school today due to the weather...but my mean boss doesn't let us go home.

I just don't like that people talk about sex too much at my job. I'm so awkward so it's weird for me.
No one should have to deal with being uncomfortable because of people having conversations about sex. Is it other women or men. personally, i think theres a big difference between the two, if you are a female and the women talking about it are female thats one thing, but if you are a female and its men talking about it, then that could be sexual harassment and if it makes you feel that uncomfrtable i would instantly report it!
what do you do for work?
I can picture a bunch of hairdressers talking about it and ti being okay, but in a corproate environment big no no
It absolutely is harrassment if it continues/repeats. You don't have to be a "target" for it to be a hostile work environment.I work for the government in an IT dept. It actually was started by a female whose husband is coming home from a long business trip. She kept going on about it and everyone was laughing and joking about it. I felt uncomfortable mainly because I'm a virgin and it's just awkward for me in general to talk about sex.
It's really not sexual harassment since they didn't say anything to me about it. I just happened to be there when they were joking about it. I'm just naturally awkward tho. It's a gift lol.
