Donna worked with Mike for over ten years. For all of that time, Mike constantly made fun of Donna and criticized her work performance. Donna began to question her abilities and did not apply for other positions because she believed she would be unsuccessful. Mike ridiculed the way she walked and the way she looked, calling her an "old lady" to other employees and indicated that he believed women should be at home looking after their children. Donna complained to the manager on several occasions, but nothing effective was ever done to stop Mike's behaviour.
