Inappropriate, Harassment and Work: Motivated

Motivated

By Leah - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boss gave me a speech about my "motivation issues". I've been working for him for 2 months, the commissions I've made for him paid off his bills, so what are my motivation issues? I turned down his offer of a date. I have a boyfriend. He keeps asking. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. Expecting a long overdue promotion, I hurried in. Instead, he told me he thought I would be perfect to take his son on a pity date, because he's a suicide risk due to his depression. FML

Today, after working at my job for months, I quit. Why? My boss tried to convince me that we are in a secret relationship, after he told me he loved me. FML

Today, I discovered why my boss kept on scheduling me to work doubles almost every day. It wasn't because she knew I needed the extra money; she was hoping that my boyfriend would break up with me because I'm never home, and date her instead. It worked. FML

Today, my boss asked me to pick up an extra shift. I said I couldn't because I have a date. He told me I didn't need to lie and to just say no next time. FML

Today, my manager "bumped" into me 3 or 4 separate times. I told him months ago I didn't want to date him. He even asked me once if I was ever afraid of being kidnapped. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me.

Today, my boss found me on a dating app. He found it perfectly acceptable to message me and didn't understand why I wasn't comfortable with it. He now wants to have a meeting with me about inappropriate behavior outside of work. FML

She can't go on a date with him then sue him, all she has to do is say no and if he persists she can sue him for harassment but if he fires her she can also sue him for wrongful termination

Go speak with a lawyer and get evidence. Don't lead the guy on but record what he says, what he emails you etc. You can sue, bosses like that give the rest of us and guys in general a bad name.

I agree with keeping records of his advances. OP should also speak to the HR manager and have him/her aware of the problem.

You have to go to the EEOC not a lawyer. They will walk you through the process and if you have a good enough case they will handle it for you.

It's telling that you prove your worth with your individual accomplishment. You're not a team player. Go out with the boss and don't have sex with him. Duh.

I'd drive in, into his office that is right threw the wall. I would slam my paper work down on what's left of his desk. then I'd spit and aim for his eye. then I would get down on the floor beside him, and ask him if he still wants a date.

find someone else to hire that will date him and get him off your back while you go to eeoc. and by the way document everything s keep a journal with dates, times, etc including the times it keeps you up at night to document the anguish and problems. good luck.
