4061 A supervisor's favoritism toward employees with whom he was having sexual affairs could constitute sexual harassment of other employees if it was sufficiently widespread to convey the message that management views them as sexual playthings, or that the way to get ahead is by having sex with their supervisors; regardless of how a court or jury eventually finds in a claim for sexual harassment, a plaintiff who suffered adverse employment action as a consequence of complaints about conduct s/he reasonably believed to be in violation of law is entitled to maintain a suit for retaliatory adverse employment action.CitationMILLER v DEP'T OF CORRECTIONS (Warden's Lovers) 36 C4 446 [See: GovC 12940 etseq; Proksel v Gattis 41 CA4 1626, T/AT 2/96; DeCintio v Westchester 807 F2 304; Mackey v Dep't of Corrections (RevGrtd) 105 CA4 945, T/AT 3/03
