Workplace Sexual Harassment · Hostile Work Environment

At the office where I worked, my co-workers' conduct was unbearable. The language they used was lewd, and the comments they made about women's bodies made my face burn. I would go into the women's restroom and find obscene pictures hanging on every stall. Every day, I got pornographic emails. I went home at night with a stomachache and woke up every morning with a headache. Finally, when this one guy started grabbing me, I tried to get my supervisor to do something about it. It was then that I realized he was the instigator of many of the pranks.

Can't somebody do something about this?
