In this episode of What’s the Tea in L&E?, Leah Stiegler and Raven Burks assess why the employee who engaged in harassment rarely gets sued directly in employment discrimination lawsuits. They break down scenarios involving internal harassment complaints—explaining why the employer is on the hook for employee misconduct and whether employees can ever be liable for “aiding and abetting” unlawful harassment.
Leah and Raven also emphasize the critical role of supervisors and HR teams in preventing liability, underscoring the importance of consistent manager training and clear, well‑communicated anti‑harassment policies. A great episode to share with managers themselves!
