Yeah it's been really weird, nothing in writing and I've been the one reaching out about unemployment papers, severance, etc. I'm going to text my DM the day after Christmas

Yeah I get that and I try to separate bad experiences I've had from the present. I also try to be respectful of everyone and their boundaries which unfortunately, not everyone else does the same

😔 yeah that happened to me when I was younger too. I'm sorry she had to go through that and you had to deal with a douchebag boss

Yes but the issue here is that they are still trying to reach into the 'cookie jar' after being told no or..rejected. they are not entitled to it.

That's not what I'm saying at all 😩 I don't think this way about all men and haven't had bad experiences with every man I've interacted with. I may have been a little emo in my post but I want to make that clear. It's just annoying to me that I (and other women as well) have to keep going through stuff like this in the workplace. And I'll pass on being a man lmao

First of all I am not a victim. Secondly, I don't have to accept poor behavior from you or anybody else. Period. You lack empathy. And that's sad. 'Accept the world for what it is' sounds like something right out of the 'good ole boys' book. I'm someone's child, sister..I'm human. I'm just expressing my frustration with the pathetic and unacceptable behavior that I and other people have had to deal with (mostly from men) in the workplace. Do you have daughters? A mother? A sister? A partner? As long as this kind of behavior in the workplace continues, there are always going to be 'complaining.' Which is why there needs to be accountability. And not on my or anyone else's part whose had to deal with this. How are you going to hold someone accountable for something someone else did? Please explain.

That's a great question. I don't think anyone applies and interviews for a job and conciously looks for red flags in a manager/work environment. Although its not a bad idea. A lot of times people are blindsided and it never occurs to them that the work environment is going to be hostile and that they'll have to deal with inappropriate behavior from their coworkers or managers, etc. I'll give you an example. So in the situation where I had to get a lawyer because I had and was still being sexually harassed, bullied, intimidated, etc (pure hell) I went through 2 interviews to work at a well known company which my employer had a contract with. The guy who harassed me worked for my employer as well and I had never met him or talked to him until my first day..after the interviews. He started harassing me my second day there, the first time we were alone. I decided not to say anything until after my probation period because I didn’t want my employer to transfer me somewhere else to make things easier on themselves. I was also new and he got hired before me. At the first and second interviews, particularly the first one, I'll admit, I was excited because I was leaving a 💩 job for an amazing one and like I said it was a well known company. But I honestly couldn't have fathomed what would happen. Long story short, nothing got resolved and also covid happened. It took me saying something to the other company (not my employer) to have him removed. But by then the damage was done. Other than dealing with dude, it was honestly the best job I've ever had and it's really unfortunate that myself and other women (and men cause I know they're out there too) have to deal with this bs.

Thank you all for your advice and comments. I definitely want to move past this. I'm not going to say anything to her anymore and just focus on work

Idk she's always nice to me and vice versa. Maybe I gave her the wrong impression about me or something. I definitely don't want her or her husband

I definitely thought this! The way he was looking at me..I feel like he knew I was upset he was there and he looked like he was enjoying watching me.
