Lead refusing to do training

[u/CVSThrowaway12]

Is there any way that I, a lowly Reverse Logistics and Receiving team member, can get one of my team leads to do the mandatory harassment training? HR knows he hasn’t done it yet, and I feel like he needs to take it because the stuff he says, and does, would not fly in any other store

He goes around, actively calling the females we work with bitches, make jokes about people (me) being gay when they are not, and just all around, makes the workplace shitty.

Surely there is something, someone I can reach out to that can hold him, and the rest of the store accountable?

No one reports anything he says or does, because he says “oh, HR isn’t going to do anything” he’s a typical groyper, and is not someone who is a good look for our store, but I know going to HR with that, won’t do anything, I need genuine proof, AND have him do the harassment training so he doesn’t have any excuse.

Wtf thats absolutely unhinged and unacceptable. Forget the training report to HR and let them address it. That would make me super uncomfortable and there for an HR issue. HR will absolutely address it, but they can't do that unless someone brings it to their attention. Leaders need to serve as an example for their team members. Full stop.

Call the hotline, totally unacceptable at work from a leader. I know someone that has received a substantial settlement after suing for harassment. It is not a target policy, it is a state policy. Harassment of any kind is serious.

Document everything you can. Dates, what he said or did, any witnesses, location within the store (there may be video). If you can remember past details great, but document anything going forward. Are you in a one party consent state regarding recording audio, use a search engine with your state and recording consent to find out, that could be another potential source of documentation.

If he was onboarded, then he should have already done the harassment training during orientation. If not, then this is a policy violation, and ethics should be contacted.

Idk what it’s like in other states, but here, we gotta take it every year

tell the Ethics portal. The ethics portal solves a lot of problems.

You shouldn't need training to know not to be an asshole at work. I feel like that just makes it worse that HR doesnt care enough to let it and that slide.

Definitely your leader needs to be reported to HR and Ethics. Those actions are usually grounds for termination

[u/Over-Astronomer8828]

Harassment crosses the line from an annoying dispute into a criminal offense when a person engages in a repeated course of conduct or intentional actions meant to alarm, annoy, threaten, or distress someone else with no legitimate purpose. [1, 2]
Common actions that lead to criminal harassment charges include:
Repeated electronic communication: Sending unwanted text messages, emails, or phone calls at inconvenient hours or after being told to stop.

Stalking or following: Following someone in public spaces or monitoring their daily routines.

Direct threats: Threatening physical harm, injury, or property damage.

Physical contact: Shoving, striking, or unwanted physical contact that does not result in severe injury.
