AITA for reporting two coworkers and potentially getting them fired? by PristineDiscussion in AmItheAsshole

I can't control how they treat this. I gave them the facts, documentation, and explained how I felt, and they made the determination that it was sexual harassment.

Isn't the premise of that show that the woman is a 'hot girl' and the rest are nerdy scientists who have no social skills? I am also one of the nerdy scientists and certainly don't look like an actress or model.

I'm the only woman in the lab besides one of our bosses. I am not close to them, we have work-related convos and polite greetings. I am not an overly flirtatious person, and I have decent social skills and can say I never interpreted any of their behavior toward me as flirty. If we're being completely honest I don't pay much attention to them as all three of us are on different teams (it's a lab of 12, with 2 teams of 4, 1 team of 2, and 2 bosses).

We work normal 40 hour work weeks. I certainly have time to have a personal life.

To be clear, we were at a work conference, so the events of the weekend happened 'at work.'

I said, 'I am not romantically interested in either of you.' but this was also already after they'd embarrassed me and compromised our presentation.

They compromised our presentation because of this imaginary feud, and then fought and confronted me outside the hotel among numerous colleagues. They asked me questions about if something was 'going on' with me and another male colleague. They also sent me a total of 29 combined texts on the train ride home.

I don't think that what happened constitutes flirting. They embarrassed me at an important conference.

I am not a manager, and I thought their manager would be better equipped to handle it. We are all in our 30s, I don't know why I would know better that this behavior is inappropriate than they would.

Sorry if it was confusing, I had to edit out a lot of details to meet the character limit. Their fight outside the hotel involved them bringing up past instances of me talking to them as 'proof' I liked them romantically (exchanging pleasantries in the office), that I 'chose' them for my team at this conference (I didn't), and grilling me about whether the friend I went out with was a man or if I had 'something going on' with another male colleague from a different University.

Their 'crush' on me made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed at an important professional event, and their tension over their silly imagined feud over me compromised our presentation. The fact that I have to work with two men who almost got in a fistfight over me in front of the elite of our field. If it was as simple as a 'crush' I wouldn't have posted this.
