We’re not talking about the ubiquitous middle finger that says fuck you. Obscene and sexual gestures at work may include two fingers in a V shape, with a tongue in between.

Inappropriate gestures are also a form of sexual harassment. If they occur frequently, then it could constitute a hostile workplace. A hostile work environment causes productivity and performance to drop and can even cause a high staff turnover.
Regardless of whether the one making obscene gestures in the workplace is a colleague, supervisor, or boss, it is still counted as sexual harassment. If you see it happening to a colleague or you are experiencing sexual harassment, you should discuss the situation with a California employment attorney.
