When QUID PRO QUO Does Not Happen

When QUID PRO QUO Does Not Happen    

The Latin phrase QUID PRO QUO has been part of our daily lives since time immemorial.  Such that, while it has become a default norm [and even way of life], some stretch it out, exploiting it to unimaginable proportions.  And that's our thread today, When QUID PRO QUO Does Not Happen๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’Š

When does QUID PRO QUO not happen but instead other types of harassment come in?  While QUID PRO QUO harassment is a type of workplace harassment that involves an unwelcome sexual advance or request for sexual favors in exchange for 'employment-related benefits', what sets it apart from other types of harassment such as hostile work environment, is the clear and direct link between the harasser's behavior and the victim's employment status๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž
While in QUID PRO QUO cases there is often power dynamic at play where the person making the overture [commonly known as 'advances'] holds some form of authority over the victim.  This can be a supervisor, manager or even someone higher up in the corporate hierarchy.  The harasser may use his authority to pressure their victim into engaging in unwanted sexual acts or behaviors๐Ÿ“Œ๐Ÿ“Œ๐Ÿ“Œ

Another key aspect of QUID PRO QUO harassment is that it must involve something tangible being offered or withheld based on whether or NOT the victim complies with the harasser's demands.  This could include anything from promotions, raises, favorable assignments or shifts to threats regarding demotion or worst, even termination✅✅✅

It is important to note that even witnessing ongoing harassment can contribute to create a hostile work environment for some.  If you feel like being subjected to any form of harassment or hostility within the workplace and find it hard to cope with such situations, then SPEAK UP.  You have the natural and legal rights [under your country's laws] that protects you, so take action if you experience discriminatory behaviors because that's an instance when QUID PRO QUO does NOT happen❗❗❗
