"I hate this for you! I don't care if you work for the wealthiest man in the world and he pays you $5 million a year to be his assistant-it is NOT OK for him to be naked or even wearing a towel around you. And knowing that it's happened "more than a dozen times" makes me think this is a very deliberate choice on your boss's part."
"Whether it's a kink I cannot say, but it's certainly inappropriate. Unfortunately, because it has happened so many times without your saying something, this could be seen as your tacit approval, and makes a workplace harassment claim more tricky. So you need to say something as soon as possible. If he continues to be naked around you after you bring this up, then you have the basis of a possible workplace harassment claim."
An assistant reports repeated instances of an employer answering the door nude or in a towel, causing discomfort. The behavior is inappropriate regardless of pay or status. Repeated occurrences without objection can be interpreted as tacit approval and may complicate harassment claims. The assistant should speak up promptly to object to the nudity. Continued exposure after a clear objection could provide grounds for a workplace harassment claim. High compensation may be used to discourage complaints. Questions should be brief, not cross-submitted to multiple columns, and pseudonyms should be used to maintain anonymity.
