I witness two co-workers sexual behavior at work, should I report it. This particular co-worker has expressed hostile behavior towards me at work. But because no one saw or heard anything I was unable to prove it. Just like this behavior I witnessed. What should I do?

Wondering about reporting sexual behavior

Answer:

Dear Wondering about reporting sexual behavior:

To provide you with an accurate answer, I would like to know what kind of behavior you witnessed? How did it happen that you saw it? Do you have an HR section and a supervisor or manager or is this a very small business?

That information will be helpful.
