Work, Awkward and Intimacy: Nice guy

Nice guy

By LucklessNiceGuy - 05/12/2011 07:22 - United States

Today, I was fired from my job on account of "sexual harassment" toward female employees. The harassment? Jokingly offering them foot massages when they were complaining about how their feet ached after a long shift, and complimenting them about their appearance when they felt down. FML

Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. FML

Today, I had to give a sexual harassment seminar to my department. Someone put in a complaint that my example made them feel uncomfortable. FML

Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML

Today, my bitchy co-worker decided that being given a compliment on her shoes is sexual harassment, and worthy of reporting me to our boss over. FML

Today, I got a call from work stating that my employment was being terminated. This was after being suspended while they investigated my sexual harassment claim. Their reason for firing me: misuse of company time. Yes, I suppose reporting being sexually harassed is a huge waste of time. FML

By his word vs mine = me suspended - 10/08/2013 18:41 - United Kingdom - Stockport

Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML

Today, at work, my manager accidentally bumped into me, brushing my behind with the back of his hand. He was a bit embarrassed, so I jokingly said, “You could at least buy me dinner first!” He went to HR and told them I made him uncomfortable. I was just trying to lighten the mood. FML

Today, my boss fired me for "disrespecting" him after I told him to fuck off. This would be understandable, if I hadn't said it when he was at my house for dinner, harassing my wife with suggestive poses, heavily implied comments, and trying to put his hand on her crotch. FML

Perhaps the male employees felt left out. Maybe at your next job, you should compliment their looks and offer them foot rubs, too. Think of this as a learning experience.

I just had to watch a corporate video (State of CA) at work on this similar subject and they used an example where the guy said to the sales girl that she was smoking hot and made some sexual innuendo's about her and that she should push her boobs up and wear a short skirt to win business from a customer. It was considered to *not* be sexual harassment. So your example doesn't really sound worse than that, maybe you should get a lawyer to try and clear that from your record and maybe even get a settlement for the damages.... just saying...

Why do men think that womens self worth is rooted entirely in our appearance? When my colleagues are down then I compliment them on their work or share a story about a screw up I made to make them feel better. Saying "well sure you screwed up, but at least you've got great ****" would not exactly be well received...

Bitter much? Here's a piece of advice for you. You sound pathetic. Whatever she did, get over it.

Yeah, but did you sound like a sarcastic asshole when you said it? Maybe it wasn't WHAT you said, but how you said it...

What you did was probably creepy. Strictly speaking, one of these women should have approached you before making the complaint; if they fired you because they got multiple complaints, they should have talked to you after the first one instead of letting you continue with this. Being clueless doesn't make you a bad person--it's not changing your behavior when you are called on it.
