Scotty, we were trying to harass you last night in the butt pinch thread but you liked it too much!

well... you have to choose wisely whom you lie with.

The rule of thumb for girls/women/ladies: Lie with your bosses boss, not with your direct boss.

Guys: If you lie, you get potentially exposed to sexual harrassment charges.

I used to report my boss for harrassment, NOT sexual, just regular. But my union was powerless with the arbitrator's argument, that when my boss tasks me with deliverables, or requires me to keep track of my tasks and report them on a time sheet, or pressures me to show up on time for work and not leave early, is not harrassment.

Well, if they put it that way.

Read your employment contract. A lot depends on what's written in it. The contract can't contain elements that are against the law (for instance, you can't even be ASKED let alone coerced, to give you bossy poodle "Fifi" cunnilingus every morning during the staff meeting) but if it mentions something that is not illegal,and you signed it, then no matter how stupid it is, you can be held to it. Like to sweep up the floor at the end of your shift, or count your cash and give a quick accounting report how it does or does not agree with the control counter. (Which could be a cash register tape, for instance.)

Wux!

No. Yes. You don't keep your job.

This is not legal advice I am not a lawyer.

Harassment requires repeated advances after you have been formally told that such advancements are unwanted. The burden of proof is on the individual filing the complaint.

In a at will work state you can be fired for almost any reason so you may still loose your job, however for the complaint to have any legal weight would require the burden of proof meeting or exceeding the legal definition of harassment.
