In reply to inappropriate behavior? *triggers*, posted by Karolina on July 27, 2006, at 23:03:28
Thanks so much you guys for your responses. It felt better to write out how I was feeling about his behavior and all of your responses made me feel better as well.
My boss is kind of a flirt with everyone at work, so that's why I thought maybe I was overreacting to some of his comments. Luckily I don't see him all the time because I usually work more with the 2 managers that work under him. Yesterday he was more busy with meetings and stuff but he was still around some of the time and twice he had put his arm around me walking through the office saying 'let's go for a walk'...it was weird. It made me feel nervous, and also embarassed because the other employees asked me later if I was in trouble or something. He also would walk by and brush his hand across my hips which I didn't like either.
I am really scared of him. He is so intimidating. I remember like the first week I started working there he got really frustrated because I wasn't doing something right and like got really angry with me and made me cry, then later on that day he came and talked to me one on one apologizing saying 'You're too pretty to cry, you're gorgeous, etc' and I remember it making me feel weird and pathetic, like he was trying to flatter me and make it up to me, after being so mean to me.
I am just too scared to go try to file a complaint against him right now. I am so scared he'll get really angry with me and fire me for it. Hopefully next week he won't be around very much and that if he is, I can try to avoid him when possible.
Thanks again everyone for being so supportive. If it gets any worse or if he tries to make a move on me somehow - then I will definitely take action against him. Right now I am just a little too scared and worried that I'm making it a bigger deal than it is. But I'll keep you guys posted.
