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

if he tries to fire or persecute you in anyway you can sue his ass off and get his job.

Can you say " better business bureau"? Sue his ass if he fires you. You will win by a landslide.

If he asks you discreetly in a public place, not so discreetly yell out something along the lines of "For the LAST TIME: I'M NOT GOING OUT WITH YOU! I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! CLEARLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP IS BECAUSE YOU KEEP ASKING ME OUT! DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO START SUING YOU FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT? DO YOU WANT ME TO SUE YOU FOR WRONGFUL TERMINATION? THAN STOP ASKING ME OUT AND STOP USING MY REJECTION AS A WAY OF CRITICIZING MY WORK!" Of course, you might want to make it sound less cheesy but you get the idea.

Dear OP, ...don't be a fool. This is a golden opportunity to solve your financial woes for the next half decade, *and* land a solid kick to sexual harassment's nuts. Tolerating this kind of shit hurts us all. Get with the program, grow up, and sue. FYL.
