An employee, Alex, works in an office where colleagues frequently tell sexually suggestive jokes and display a calendar with risqué images in a common area. This has been occurring for several months. When Alex mentioned feeling uncomfortable to a manager, the manager replied, 'That's just how the team is; you should try to fit in.' Based on this scenario, determine if the conditions for a hostile work environment have been met and justify your conclusion by identifying the specific elements from the case that support your reasoning.
