I'm leavin'Shit just never stops coming where I work. I thought things would kind of even out and that I would be able to kind of float in the background, not be the best attorney there, but not be the worst, just kind of doing my job and getting by. Whatever, foolish me. The only thing that has happened is that my boss has become more and more outright with "flirting" with me. A week and a few days ago, my boss come into my office in the afternoon. (he literally waited until the older secretary lady left and then immediately made a beeline for my office.) I figure I'm in trouble as he walks in and then immediately closes the door. So I'm thinking oh shit what have I supposedly done now. But he comes in and sits down and just starts chatting with me. First thing he tells me of course is that his wife and kids are out of town and will be out of town for the rest of the week and the entire weekend. He then starts telling me about his law school days, what he did as a teenager, girls he used to date..etc,etc.( one girl he used to date looked a lot like me and he always thought she was sooo beautifu;...etc, etc.) I'm like okay this is sooo weird he's on the edge of being vaguely normal. Of course right then he asks me if I knew that a lot of highly respected married men in our town (and nation wide even!) have extramarital affairs. So I'm like yeah I don't really know any, but I figured as much. He kind of nods at me and then proceeds to tell me about some new DVD he brought and how it's really good and that I should see it and that I would really, really enjoy it. Of course he adds in again that the wife and kids are out of town. Then he tells me to call him over the weekend if I want to come over and watch it because it's really fun. Then he starts talking again about all the women he used to date when he was younger and that he was such player and very wild back in the day. He then comes over to me and starts rubbing my shoulders. I'm shocked at this point (and am uncertain how to tell him that I really don't care about how many girls he has dated and what he did with them 20 years ago.) Eventually after about 45 minutes of all this ( and me staring blankly at him) he is about to leave and then he turns around and makes sure that I have his cell phone number so I can call him over the weekend. I hate my life. Where does that guy get off thinking you would even consider going to his house? He is so full of himself, it is kind of funny. (married too!!!) He isn't going to stop this any time soon either. There is a man (old man) at my work, every time I see him, he asks if we can go have a beer. I would have thought the guy would get a clue after 20+ polite NOs but he hasn't. Your crush is going to try every trick in the book. Tell him you are dating someone, maybe that will work. what a jackass. You are an attorney. So if i were you, i'd start building up my secret file with evidence of "sexual harrassment" and when shit hits the fan, you can blackmail him or file a suit against his ass. pile up the evidence and get him for sexual harrassment. What a dick, telling you how wild he was. SO WHAT, as if you care. He is hitting on you HARD. Make him pay, the jackass I hate to say that one of the main things that worries me about this situation is the fact that he must believe that I am naive (or stupid)enough to fall for his bullshit. I plan on making him pay if I can torture him somehow along my way out it will be done. He's smart though he never blatantly propositions me where anyone else can hear. So pretty much makes it my word against his and he's worked there for years so I know who "they" would believe. Go to one of those surveillance stores and pick up a tiny mic and a tape recorded. Get yourself a manual drill and bore a tiny, tiny little hole into the front of your desk or into the token "guest" chair in the office and install the mic and mini recorder. Get it ready to record, you know, like fast forward to the actual recording (black) part of the tape. Keep spare batteries in your desk. Then, tape the recorder under your chair, in a drawer or under the desk. Just make sure you can't see the cord and that he can't see it if he comes up behind you. But make sure you can reach it to "pull the trigger" next time he walks in. Keep some spare batteries and let her rip. You WILL get evidence. Don't try to use it to extort him, as that will just set you up to get fucked in the end. He's probably sneaky about other shit, too, and would probably not be averse to setting you up to get fired or making you the fall man and getting screwed in the end. Maybe next time, you can initiate the flirt and then hit "record" while the mother fucker blubbers away. Violá. Take that effing cheater! Sorry if I'm naive or if I've missed something in your post, but why don't you just ask him directly: "What's your point? Why do you want me to go over when your wife isn't home?" If he acts surprised, tell him that he's sending out mixed messages and that his behaviour could be easily misconstrued and that perhaps he should be more "careful" especially in these days of sexual harrassment law suits. We women have to learn that it's okay to be blunt and direct. I have been direct with him in the past, but this was the most recent and most outright he has ever been since I have been working there. He took me by surprise this time. I'm not a shrinking violet...I'm kind of a "bitch" and direct as I am an attorney, however when in it's in the context of talking to your boss and I'm the newbie and everyone else just loves him thinks he's great and a sweet guy who brings his wife and kids up to the office, whether I want to or not I have to be diplomatic to a certain degree. As much as I want to say you stinking, fucking bastard don't ever even speak to me again, I can't. I want to just leave this job without too much fuss so that way when my next employer calls him for a reccomedation he won't deliberately sink any chance I may have. I've told him to his face before that I don't like to be touched and that I'm not a touchy feely person. he's called me into his office before and I've told him I feel more comfortable with the door open, which is why I think he comes into my office now. I've gotten "tough" with him on a few occassions, but it only seems to be encouraging him. When I just ignore him he seems to get frustrated and leave me alone for weeks at a time. He seems to like when I put up a fight. It is sort of a no-win. From what you described, every single thing he has done can be taken either way. So what he mentioned the wife and kids are gone, he can also tell a friend about a DVD and be "kind" enough to invite you over, he would invite a male over too I bet. A co-incidence you look like someone he dated, (I work with a man that is identical to my father in-law) of course he thought she was beautiful, he dated her. All double speak, blablabla. He is hunting you down and minding his p's and Q's at the same time. I am willing to bet on this too: Lets just say you were interested, I KNOW YOU ARE NOT, and gave him the go ahead, when ever things got bad between you two, he would blame it on you for getting into the relationship, you knew he was married etc.... The bad part is, you have not been there long, if things got out of hand and you were to report the ass, face it, it isn't going to make your work place better for you. You are new, everyone is his friend, you might be alienated. You might also get a good settlement, hummm I apologize, Miquie. I didn't mean to question your abilities to be direct. Obviously, any advice here would be over-simplified without knowing all the nuances and complexities of your situation. This type of thing has actually happened to me a couple of times before, when I was younger. Now that I'm in my 40s, I've gotta to tell 'ya, I wouldn't put up with the crap regardless of the consequences because no job/career is worth it, but that's just me in my current place in life. ... maybe you could go over to watch the DVD,just take along your boyfriend or husband (or a guy posing as one - preferrably a huge bodybuilder/bodyguard type. It might send a message. After all, these losers think they're big man on campus until they meet someone bigger then them.) Good luck with your situation. I was thinking that too but if it doesn't work, then you have to resort to the evidence pile up. Miquie could very well just say "hey loser, back off, i'm not interested" and hopefully he'll back off. Then it will be a very uncomfortable working environment or he can get turned on by her rejection and be more of a jackass or he'll make her life miserable. The only way to find out is to confront him and see how he reacts. Isn't it something? She is a lawyer and has to deal with that kind of bullshit in the workplace. Is anybody not exempt from dealing with crap at work??? I think not. It is pretty pathetic when even lawyers are getting hit on by knobs! Fuck, the workplace is full of pathological assholes! (Can you tell, I just came back from a 3-hour meeting tonight that I was forced to attend???? Man I'm fed up with shit like this!) hey just wondering, with harrassment laws, do you need to tell him "no im not interested" and "stop harrassing me".. so if he does it the second time its all over for that creepy jerk ? I remember something about proving sexual harrassment where its got to be continuously unwelcome advances.... dunno. i aint a lawyer but yeah, sue that asshole but makesure u cover your ass with evidence! A knee or elbow in the groin does wonders to stop sexual harassment. Much more effective than a law suit. ...and yet I continue to believe that you should approach the situation carefully. Miquie, you are a lawyer and probably already know all this, but just in case.... Yeah, you need to tell him to fuck off AND you should document every instance of the come ons and write down exactly what he said, the best that you can remember it. But, since he's your super and there aren't any witnesses, it will come down to he said she said if you ever try to take action against him just like all the other bloggers have said. The OTHER issue is that if you confront him, he will start to perceive you as a real threat. From your other posts, I kind of get that he sort of sees you as a threat, but those feelings he has are tempered right now by his lust for you and his desire to dominate/ belittle you. If you confront him, he might set you up to get fired "with cause" or to receive disciplinary action based on trumped up performance issues. If you tell the truth at that point, which many women do, it will seem like retaliation. Unless you go to an "HR Manager/ Employee Relations Rep" right now, then the HR people will be used against you once the termination process begins. They will say that you are claiming whistle blower status after the fact, as a way to retaliate or resist institutional action. Then, you are shit out of luck. No paycheck. Got fired. AND word of sexual harrassment claims spread such that most places won't want to touch you with a ten foot pole. It sucks, but it's true. You really need to use your carefulness, slyness, and intelligence, just like we all know you will. In the end, you need to document the harassment and to tell someone asap, and document where, when, and who you told and whether or not they did anything about it. Good luck, Miquie. Punch that motherfucker's lights out. the dirty rotten bastard? sue his assssssssssssssssss |
