\nSteven Hall would allegedly sit on Young\u2019s lap, and simulated sexual intercourse with an office chair. Employees were allowed to read erotica in a public forum. On one occasion, Young claims a male managing director watched a female director eat a sandwich and inquired about similarities between how she eats the sandwich and how she performs oral sex.
\n\u201cThe hostile work environment was so pervasive and severe that some employees placed wagers on how long it would take to adequately offend Young before she would be forced to leave the room,\u201d her filing says.
\n\u201cHall actually fostered the pervasively hostile work environment<\/a> by engaging in improper conduct himself,\u201d Young, 36, said in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit filed Thursday, March 13th<\/sup>, 2014.
