DigiSys is a multimillion dollar technology company that is comprised of several retired military officers in senior management positions. One evening, Mayer was leaving her office at Digisys and was approached by her superior, Jay Strong. Since it was after business hours, Strong offered to walk Mayer to her car. As they walked, Strong guided their conversation toward more personal matters, even inquiring about Mayer’s newlywed status. On the surface, it seemed innocent; however Mayer felt that the personal remarks were inappropriate and seemingly flirtatious. Mayer wasted no time saying goodbye, thinking she made her discomfort clear.
