I (26,f) am a tattoo artist working as an independent contractor in a tattoo shop. Today, the shop owner told me I was “acting like a bitch” and said that I have “daddy issues.” This conversation was held privately outside during shop hours and there were no witnesses. Does this constitute as sexual harassment? How does sexual harassment or a hostile work environment apply to independent contractors?
