Okay, change it to, "You do know there are laws about this kind of thing, don't you?"

But here's the thing. He wasn't flirting with you and the people he heaps most of his attention on are not objecting. I would lie low and record everything and then have a private conversation rather than being openly confrontational. What's going to happen is, he'll be let go, and his little posse will turn on you in a big way. In fact, they may make it their goal to get rid of you next. Be careful.

This is true. Be careful. I would stay away from his group for awhile, even if it meant changing my lunch or break schedule so you aren't stuck at a table near them. Don't tell ANYONE at work why you are altering your schedule, it only takes 1 person to spread it around to 1 person they trust - who tells 1 person they trust.

Or eat lunch elsewhere. He's stirring up trouble but you look like a snitcher in their eyes. And nobody likes a snitcher. So watch your back from all of his group. They will be looking at ways to get back at you. If they see you doing anything wrong, they are going to be snitching on you. This is going to be middle school all over again for awhile.

Regarding the bolded part in pink...

The 2 people he thought who snitched, me and the Senior Supervisor's assistant, did not. I told him I did not tell the Senior Supervisor's assistant what to do. The Senior Supervisor's assistant did the same thing. She told him she did not her superior, the Senior Supervisor.

This is not the first time I have been sexually harassed at work by a guy older than me.

It doesn't matter whether you snitched or not. They think you snitched, therefore, they will be out to get you. They see you debating with him about the flirting, so they can only think that all the trouble was initiated by you.

I am not saying you did anything wrong, because you didn't. In fact, there is nothing wrong in reporting this to management or HR. You should never have to deal with sexual harrassment at work and you should be able to report it without relatiation. I applaud you for recognizing it and bringing it up.

YOU did the right thing. It's him and the group that are wrong. But you have to be prepared for them(his group) making you the scapegoat over HIS wrongdoing. They already put him on a pedestal because he is in their group...so YOU are what caused the problems in their eyes, not him. Yes, it's wrong. But it's how it is and you just need to CYA from each member of his group for a long time.

When I walked into the break-room for lunch today, the gang leader *the flirty one* was pissed because one of the 19 year old female employees whom he flirted with was fired today. That is what he said.

He also wants to start a petition regarding giving everyone a raise.

From what I heard the flirty guy has been watching several training videos regarding our employers sexual harassment policy.

But...

He still calls the only 19 year old employee there now that the other one was fired pet names such as baby.

I wonder what line of b.s. he fed people that a 19 year old was fired instead of him.

The other 19 year old must not be paying attention or she'd stay away from him.

Default Good news

Found out that the "flirty guy" has expressed an interest in being a painter for our employer. He would be getting a pay increase. He would be working the 2nd shift instead of the first shift. All of the painters are males, and so he should not be flirting with them on the job.

He also works there, and he has made him aware of the fact that he does not appreciate that behavior around me.

He is 52 years old.

There are two 19 year old female employees whom he flirts with. He calls them 1) babe, 2) baby girl or 3) baby.

When one of these female employees announced that her 19th birthday was this week, he called her a PYT. Then when she did not know what that meant, he told her that she is a pretty young thing.

The 3 of them plus 2 more employees *one male and one female* decided to call each other at work by pet names... babe, baby girl, baby and so on. All 5 of them hang out as a group.

He has been told by the Senior Supervisor's *who is over everyone at work* assistant to stop his behavior because according to company policy, it is considered sexual harassment, but he continued doing it. The reason why I know this is because she let me know this since I am married and my husband has made his feelings known to him about his behavior. My husband and I talk to her at work. She is also married.

My husband has been on vacation this week.

Earlier this week I caught him flirting with a female employee, and so I told him that he is a flirt. This happened in the office where everyone clocks in and out at. He told me 1) he cannot help himself when it comes to his flirting at work, 2) his flirting is a part of him, 3) he is not serious about his intentions and 4) the female whom he flirts with should know about his intentions.

He then called me baby. So I showed him my wedding ring and told him 1) I am married and 2) he cannot call me baby.

I mentioned to the Senior Supervisor's assistant what happened. The two of us were in the break room when I spoke to her along with one of the female employees who is part of the group of employees who hang out as a group.

The following morning at work that group was complaining about the fact that he had been reported to the Senior Supervisor regarding his flirty behavior. The Senior Supervisor assistant's name was brought up in the conversation by him. He then saw me and told me in a pissy tone of voice that 1) he will not call me pet names anymore, 2) he was reported to the Senior Supervisor regarding his flirty behavior, 3) I must have told the Senior Supervisor's assistant to report his behavior and then he called me baby again. I gave him a look of do not call me baby again. I told him that 1) I did not tell the Senior Supervisor's assistant what to do and 2) it was her choice to report it.

I get a call from her later that morning on my work cell phone asking me what happened because according to her the entire group came to the office where she works at *the one where everyone clocks in and out at* demanding to know why she reported him to the Senior Supervisor. I let her know what happened. Turns out she did not report him. Someone else did, but we do not know who.

I let my husband know what happened. He said to leave the guy alone for a couple of days. He will do the same when he returns to work on Monday.


Why do you work in such a cesspool of low class, low morals morons?

Why?
