Today I was very upset at work in the morning. I had some personel problems and I was being blamed at work for something and I had a headache si it was beiung a hard day and I was sitting at my desk crying by myself but there were other people around. There is a coworker who doesn't sit next to me in my right. His station is diagnol from my station. At a "L" from me. But I can see him when I look at him which I was. I could tell he was been laughing at me and he was smiling. I was furious and then he blew a kiss at me and everyone laughed. I was furious more! I got the shakes and so I went to the boy's room. I think this was harasment and even sexual harasment even though I don't think he is homosexual because I've listened to him talking to other people and I've seen pictures in his desk of a girl. But that doesn't matter to here and this situation was done in anyway.
I went to my boss at his lunch but he didn't take me seriously and I could tell. He is my coworker's boss too, but he didn't want to listen and I got upset and then he started to yell at ME! This was very wrong and other people looked at me. I said I was going to see the President of the Univarsity where I work but he did not care. At least, he said so, but I think the President is going to be mad about this going on. This is unprofesional and totaly inapropreate. It is inapropreate my boss did nothing too. It is harasment at my workplace. I don't know who to talk to after now because I am frustrated and confused and I know I have to sit at my station again tomorow when I go and because everyone is going to be there. How can I work? There is not right. It was embarasing for me in there. I know the cops won't help me.
What do I do? Do I go tell the President of the Univarsity? Do I call a lawyer and su? Is there a case I have? I can't quit and I should and think so, but I need the money now. |
This is outrageous behaviour on the part of your co-worker.
I'm so upset by this and touched by your plight (but not in a sexual way) that I've forwarded a strongly worded complaint on your behalf to the Australian Federal Police Commissioner (Tony Negus) requesting an immediate investigation using the full weight of our national police service, plus I've also sent the same complaint to the Australian Parliament demanding it's debate and resolution during Parliament's next sitting (most likely this will result in a Royal Commission).
I hope this in some way helps to ease your considerable pain.

Uncle Hiss will kick him up the bum for being such a girly-man for crying at his desk, and will tell him to HTFU.

I can't push them away, but that's what my instincts are telling me to do. So I find an excuse to back off ... and nine times out of ten, the bastards follow me! Some people just don't feel comfortable having a conversation unless they are right on top of you. They are completely unaware of this, so far as I can tell. Hell, I've had people follow me around the damn room, all unconscious of their action. It just seems like an ordinary conversation to them - I suppose they are so used to other people walking backwards away from them that they think it's normal! This is where being in your own office is great - you can go and sit behind your desk, and then push your chair back till you feel comfortable. They can't bloody follow you there!

Like this piece a lot, Tannin. Brings up, for me, the image of Holden Caulfield. |

OK. Two questions:
1: who is this "Holden Caulfield"? (no need to answer here - I googled it, and at some point in the future I'll rectify this gap in my reading)
2: in your image, which one of us is he?

It would be me, for in reading that part of that post I did imagine Holden. And I enjoyed that, so I'm beholden to ya. |

Holden Caufield doesn't go well together.
Bentley Caufield; Rolls Royce Caufield; could work.

They should call it antisocial media!
Personally I love Facebook, it's great for keeping up with people's lives when distance and 'busy' make it the only option. But boy, sometimes I read comments, not just on fan pages and the like, but personal pages, and I'm gobsmacked, the things people say, that you know darn well they would never say face to face. ! I dont tweet or anything else. And I try not to push any political agendas I might have. For the most part, fluffy and light!
