So I have to take this online quiz for my job about workplace harrasment (It's required of everyone, it's not like I did anything)...here are some of the questions...

Roquefort "Rocky" Barnes, an African-American salesman at Chez-Cheez, is highly offended by the racial jokes that circulate occasionally on the company's e-mail system. The company's anti-harassment policy provides for employees to file complaints with either their immediate supervisor or the Human Resources manager, but Rocky is not comfortable speaking about this to either of them. What's his best course of action?
- Mention the behavior to his friend Patti Melton, a manager in the Marketing department.
- Do nothing, because the jokes were intended to be humorous and therefore don't violate the anti-harassment policy.
- Mention it to his friends at lunch and hope one of them tells the senders to stop.

Marie Brie is a line-worker in Chez-Cheez's processing plant, where she works next to loud-mouthed Lotta Fondue. Lotta has five dogs and talks about them often at work. She preaches that all good Americans should have a pet of some kind, and she constantly calls Marie a "loser" and a "failure" for being "petless." Is Lotta breaking the law?
- Yes, she is discriminating against Marie.
- Yes, she is harassing Marie.
- No, she is not breaking the law.

Billy Chevre's supervisor, Frank Feta, was always making derogatory remarks about Catholics and Jews. Although Billy is a Presbyterian, he found the remarks highly offensive and reported Frank to the Human Resources department. Eventually, Frank was told of the complaint and responded by transferring Billy to a Chez-Cheez subsidiary in rural North Dakota. What should Billy do?
- Report Frank to Human Resources again and ask that the transfer be reversed.
- Nothing. That's what he gets for being a complainer.
- Nothing. Frank is his supervisor, so Billy must do as Frank says.

For months, Paige Turner, a black employee, passed by a group of white men drinking coffee and telling racist jokes around a table in the Chez-Cheez cafeteria. One day, Paige spoke up, telling the biggest loudmouth that she found his jokes offensive. The next time Paige entered the cafeteria, the loudmouth announced, "Here comes the Gestapo. Let's go over in the corner so I can tell you the one about that black guy and the gun...." Which of the following statements is the most accurate?
- The employees' behavior violated the company's anti-harassment policy, and Paige should report it.
- The employees' behavior may have violated the company's anti-harassment policy, but Paige has no complaint because she tolerated it for so long.
- The loudmouth has honored Paige's wishes and moved away from her, so Paige has no basis for complaining.

Curt Senway, Karl Jarlsberg and Ramona Romano are all line employees at Chez-Cheez. Curt is 52 years old; Karl and Ramona are 32. To make the day go faster, Karl likes to tease Curt for being the "old" man in the department. Ramona has encouraged Curt to report Karl to Human Resources, but Curt doesn't want to cause trouble. What should Ramona do?
- Tell Karl to stop teasing Curt and, if that doesn't work, report Karl to Human Resources.
- Nothing. She's not the one being teased, so it's not her place to do anything.
- Make Karl just as uncomfortable by teasing him about being "ugly."

Glen Gouda, a disabled employee in Chez-Cheez's distribution center, is repeatedly late for work and has failed to meet his last ten deadlines for filing paperwork. He just received his semi-annual performance appraisal, which highlighted his poor attendance record and failure to meet deadlines. Glen was placed in the first stage of performance counseling and was required to submit an action plan for improved performance. Glen has experienced —
- Harassment and/or discrimination on the basis of his disability.
- Retaliation.
- A performance appraisal that accurately reflected his performance.

Suzy Cheddar, a female quality-control inspector at Chez-Cheez, has accused co-worker Adam Edam of harassing her by repeatedly twisting her arm and blocking doorways. Suzy has seen Adam do the same things to other female workers as well, but never to males. Suzy has admitted that Adam didn't say or do anything to indicate that he was after sex. Could Adam be disciplined for sexual harassment?
- No, because his behavior was not offensive enough to be considered harassment.
- No, because he did not ask Suzy for sex.
- Yes.

Bria Benton bumped into Leslie Leiderkranz, her manager, by the water cooler. Leslie saw that Bria was upset and asked her what was wrong. After Leslie prodded a bit, Bria explained that a company vice-president had just offered her a promotion in exchange for a series of moonlit "walks." As Leslie was leaving, Bria said, "Please don't tell anyone," and Leslie nodded and smiled. Later that day, Leslie reported the incident to Human Resources, which began an investigation. Should Leslie have kept Bria's incident a secret?
- Yes, because Bria asked Leslie to.
- No, because Leslie had a responsibility to the company to report the matter promptly.
- No, but she should have investigated the matter herself.

Which of the following scenarios represent "real world" cases involving workplace harassment or discrimination?
- A woman employed at a shipyard complained that her co-workers covered the walls with offensive "art," including a dartboard with a drawing of a woman's breast as the bull's eye.
A bank teller's supervisor made repeated sexual demands of her, which included fondling her in front of other employees and following her into the women's restroom and exposing himself to her.
- A large corporation fired several employees for sending harassing e-mails.
- An auto maker agreed to pay $7.75 million to 900 women to settle complaints that they were groped and subjected to crude comments and graffiti.
- An investment bank that ignored complaints of racist jokes circulating on the company's e-mail system was sued for racial harassment.
- A woman truck driver learned that her male co-workers had established a "club," the purpose of which was to see who would be the first to have sex with her.
- All of the above.
