Additionally, the men whistle at the new female employees as they come in and out of the shipping area. One of the new female employees, Jill, approaches the supervisor of the division, Benaround Tulong, to express that she is uncomfortable with the situation. Ben tells her to ignore the boys as they are just having fun. Later, Jill comes to you, the human resources manager for the firm, to complain. You contact Ben and he tells you that Jill is being too sensitive as no one is pressuring her for a date and it is just harmless fun.
