#WorkplaceHarassment #CallHR #HostileWorkEnvironment
Hey there,
So sorry to hear about your experience with your general manager. That is totally unacceptable behavior 💔! Here are a few things to consider and steps you can take:
* It’s never too late to call HR if you feel uncomfortable or harassed at work.
* Document the incident – write down the date, time, what was said, and any witnesses.
* Reach out to HR or your company’s anonymous reporting system to file a complaint.
* Consider talking to a lawyer or advocate if you feel your workplace is not addressing the issue appropriately.
Remember, you have the right to feel safe and respected at work. Don’t hesitate to speak up and take action to create a better work environment for yourself and your colleagues. Your voice matters! 🌟 #SpeakUp #WorkplaceSafety
No, it makes sense it might take some time to process and think about what you want to do. Perfectly fine to reach out to your HR team at this point.
It’s only been three weeks, that’s not that long to process what happened to you and the inappropriate behavior he showed.
But try to make sure you gauge your expectations on what will happen accordingly. Has everyone else made repeated reports about his behavior? You took awhile to process it before reporting. If they don’t have reports or haven’t witnessed it directly, it’s hard for management to know that this guy is being a problem. That’s probably why he still has a job or hasn’t been put in his place in some way.
They don’t have to fire him. They just have to make him quit doing that kind of stuff.
You can call HR or course. Keep in mind that you almost always get fired in these scenarios, if you do not mind go for it, he might or might not get fired or reprimanded. That is how it works.
Edit: I am happy to see many strong independent woman telling me they did this and did not get fired, and I am very happy to hear that. However my experience is the opposite, as written below, and OP should know this story might not have the happiest ending.
No it is not to late to report to HR. You might want to consider journaling incidents and HR’s response if you report this. Date stamp your entries.
Call. They should know that he’s misbehaving again.
I’m in human resources and I do sexual harassment prevention trainings and investigations often. This is definitely problematic behavior and, no it is not too late to report it. Depends on what state you’re in regarding how long you have to report it, but please report it now! This kind of stuff just goes on and on because people don’t report. Let them shut this down! So many other people thank you for it even if they don’t know it! AND you have a right to no retaliation for reporting, by anyone, not just him. Good luck!
I’m really sorry to hear about what happened to you at work. It’s completely understandable to feel uncomfortable and upset by your general manager’s behavior and remarks. His comment was highly inappropriate and creates a hostile work environment, which is unacceptable.
Here are a few steps you might consider taking:
1. **Document Everything**: Write down the details of the incident, including the date, time, location, and what was said and done. Document any witnesses who were present.
2. **Review Company Policies**: Check your company’s policies regarding harassment and inappropriate behavior. This will help you understand the procedures for reporting such incidents.
3. **Consider Reporting**: It’s not too late to report the incident. You have the right to work in an environment free from harassment. Contact your HR department or a supervisor you trust to discuss what happened. They should take your complaint seriously and investigate the matter.
4. **Seek Support**: If you feel comfortable, talk to a trusted colleague or friend for support. It can be helpful to have someone who understands the situation and can provide emotional support.
5. **Protect Yourself**: If you continue to feel uncomfortable or unsafe at work, consider seeking guidance from a legal professional who specializes in workplace harassment.
It’s important to address these issues promptly to ensure a safe and respectful work environment for yourself and your colleagues. I hope this situation gets resolved in a way that makes you feel heard and supported. If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to ask.
As someone who worked in HR, he won’t get fired just a slap in the wrist, it’ll be played off as he was joking and that’s that.
I had a male co worker tell others he wanted to fuck me and he was significantly older, I reported it and wanted to stay anonymous and they said that wasn’t promised. At the end he just got a warning.
But maybe he’ll be on their radar and if there’s another complaint they might actually fire him this time.
