Pat is interviewing Sammy for a job in his organization. During the interview, Pat asks Sammy for a dinner date. Sammy refuses his offer, but thanks him. Pat tells Sammy that a dinner date would be beneficial to the job selection. Sammy still refuses the dinner date. Based on this conversation, Pat decides not to hire Sammy for the position. This is an example of what type of sexual harassment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Quid pro quo happens when the acceptance or decline of an unwanted sexual advance leads to a hiring, employment, or workplace decision.

Because Sammy refused the dinner date, Pat didn't hire Sammy.

Answer option A is incorrect. Covert is not a valid sexual harassment term.

Answer option C is incorrect. Contingent is not a valid sexual harassment term.

Answer option D is incorrect. A hostile work environment describes unwelcome sexual conduct that interferes with a person's ability to complete their work, intimidation, or an offensive work environment.

Can you believe the nerve of some people? Sammy should run for the hills and count their blessings they didn't end up working for a creep like Pat. Quid pro quo, no question.

You know, I once had a boss who thought he could get away with stuff like that. Needless to say, he didn't last long. Quid pro quo is the clear answer here.
