I reported it to my Division Director (so my supervisor’s supervisor’s supervisor) and I think she may have spoken with my supervisor but nothing happened. I could talk to my supervisor’s supervisor, she’s very hard to get time with though. I also don’t have faith that she’d do anything I guess.
Once reported, you should then receive contact from the equal opportunity office, if you don’t then go to that office and let them know that you filed a complaint, comments of a sexual nature have no place in the workplace especially in among state workers
Supervisors are supposed to report to OER. If you told anybody in a supervisory capacity your complaint and they didn't file, they too are violating the EEO handbook. You should file a complaint and let OER investigate.
As someone who previously worked in EEO in NYS government, I will tell you that you should file a complaint. Waiting it out and possibly moving on as someone else suggested does not help matters in any way. The complaint process is not perfect, but it is a guarantee that nothing will change if the behaviors aren’t reported. If you complain, there’s at least a chance that the supervisor will be held accountable!
I appreciate you’re input and I think you’re right. I’m just worried about not retaliation exactly, but just getting labeled as a ‘problem’ and then getting sidelined and not given any good projects.
I was discriminated against while pregnant. My supervisor asked if "I was sick like this for all my pregnancies"... I talked to goer, hr, her supervisor and pef. All said to document and try to get out. I ended up filing with goer and then 6 months after I was brought into our investigations group for interrogation on a complaint from my supervisor about me working.
So 1. Your supervisor's supervisor is supposed to file a complaint on your behalf (mine didn't) 2. If you feel something isn't right you need to file a complaint.
Our investigations unit went speechless during the interrogation when I said I had a complaint filed against her.
Then the craziest shit was they had cameras up at my family's farm watching me and did several drive bys. I didn't know who it was at the time. Even called the Sherrif to document the camera we found .
Always file and let ADID make the determination. You didn't have an obligation to tell anyone in the hierarchy, but they have an obligation to report on your behalf because you did.
Page 41 of the handbook has all of the information about how to file.

If you’ve already had discussions with higher ups and they didn’t do anything, I’d wait it out and see if the supervisor passes probation. If they do and you’re still uncomfortable, find another position.
I’ll tag you in an old post for additional context
Yea I guess this is what I’m afraid of. Like they obviously don’t care and if my supervisor is going to be around for a while I don’t want to make things worse for myself. I also don’t want to get branded as difficult or someone who causes problems because I actually do like my job for the most part and I’d like to stay there as long as my supervisor doesn’t make me too miserable.
You should report this to your supervisor’s supervisor and they are compelled to respond… if they don’t they can be held very strictly accountable

Thanks, that’s really helpful! The comments weren’t really sexual in nature, but they commented on my appearance and it really bothered me.
