I had a similar situation occur to a friend at work. We were working at a construction site and had to work with many other companies. In this situation, my friend was being sexually harassed. The offender happened to work for our company's client company. She mentioned it casually in passing to the person's supervisor...as in "reign this dude in before I do something formal." The supervisor took it very seriously, reported it to hr and hr at both companies got involved. My company's administration was a little peeved that it was not advised first, but I think it was the right thing to do and ended with the offender getting fired after several other offenses....using our equipment without authorization, other harassment, etc.

You don't have to take this crap. See if the site super fixes things, if not then report it. Keep notes on what goes on to cya.

File a complaint. let others deal with it.

I used to work at one company, the young guys would have some fun ribbing us older workers (Mainly for sending them more work which stopped their talking so much) and one time one worker in another dept asked how we didn't get harassed by the young guys so much.

I replied "We just ignored it and after a bit, sped up so they didn't have time to give us grief, so they know if we're tired of their antics, we speed Wayyyyy up and they are hustling to keep up"...quid pro quo....

My first job a couple years ago I was bullied by a manager I worked with. Though she wasn't my boss, she was still my superior. She didn't like me and my suspicions confirmed one day when she had a list of everything I did wrong and spilled it to my boss the day before my review. She constantly had an attitude with me, I couldn't get anything done right, she was moody, etc. It came to the point where my big boss would start to see me differently and always take her side and everything felt like people were turning against me and I was a scapegoat for things done wrong. I started to cry in my office so I wasn't sad when I was "laid off" due to funds. It didn't matter how much more my story made sense, he would always make up some way to side with her even though I documented things as much as I could. Sometimes you just have to know when to leave and realize it's toxic; not worth being miserable.
