Isn it just easier to quit, and pursue a lawsuit, if harassed?
A. First, quitting usually is not an option. Unless you have another job lined up, you usually cannot afford financially to quit your job. Second, the courts have set a very high standard for a victim to prove that he or she was forced to quit because of harassment. This means that you cannot count on being able to recover your lost wages for time out of work if you quit and file a lawsuit.
