Kurt,one of the sales representatives,has been sending Susie,another sales representative who he met at a corporate retreat,text messages and emails requesting dates.This has gone on for about six months.Susie politely refused at first,and now ignores all of Kurt's messages.Now,Kurt is sending Susie poems he has written about her physical attributes.Susie is dreading the next corporate retreat because Kurt has said he will be waiting for her.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Unless there is an existing HR policy on inappropriate electronic technology usage, Kurt cannot be disciplined, since "hostile environment" only applies to the physical work environment.
B) Kurt is just a "loser" guilty only of socially-inept behavior. Susie would be over-reacting to report this to HR, and if she does report this to her manager or HR, she should be told that Kurt is harmless.
C) This is cyber-stalking. Susie should report Kurt to her manager, and Kurt should be disciplined in accordance with the company's electronic technology usage policy.
