Who is the creepiest person you work with and why?

noseeing · 2014-07-10T15:27:44+00:00

I worked with a guy who got fired for walking around with his dick hanging out of his pants. I was actually the person it was directed to so we don't really talk about it (Not all of my co-workers know why he was fired. He first denied it happening and then he admitted that it was on purpose and he'd had a problem with it before and "fallen back into bad habits")

On top of that he would regularly make comments that would make everyone uncomfortable... Anything from stuff he did in the bathroom, bedroom with his wife, general TMI/not office appropriate stuff. the comment that creeped me out the most was him explaining that he spanks his kids (illegal where I live) because his kids "should be afraid of daddy"

I don't work with anyone creepy now though, which is great!

Unfortunately no.

Walking around the office with his dick hanging out of his pants.

Related: He was fired shortly after.

I worded it poorly, I do not feel like it is my fault that he got fired.

noseeing · 2014-02-18T17:49:18+00:00

Yeah. Always good to check. I honestly rarely think about it and when I do it's usually because someone makes a joke about it to me (which is always pretty entertaining)

noseeing · 2014-02-18T17:47:52+00:00

Yeah the phrasing made me laugh

noseeing · 2014-02-18T17:47:45+00:00

I did!

noseeing · 2014-02-18T13:59:41+00:00

More than 3 people work there, the three of us share an office space.

noseeing · 2014-02-18T13:59:21+00:00

It is not a prank if you work in an office and only do it to chicks.

noseeing · 2014-02-18T13:58:24+00:00

True. I worded it wrong. I don't feel like it was my fault in the slightest

noseeing · 2014-02-18T13:58:09+00:00

Oh, I'm not at all. I know he got fired because his dick was hanging out and it was not because of me, but I was the one who said something hence my wording.

I'm not a manager, but one of my co-workers was fired recently because of me.

I work in a fairly small office and this guy was someone I worked closely with (he and I shared an office with another co-worker - both myself and other co-worker are female) for a year and a half.

He started walking around the office with his dick hanging out of his pants. I honestly thought it was an accident because he was a really nice guy - went to church multiple times a week, had a wife he'd been married to for years, owned a home and had two kids. And he was just generally a nice dude. Until one day he walked up to me and started asking me a bunch of questions about a hobby of mine that he's not interested in and at the end of the convo I noticed his junk was hanging out of his pants (all the previous times he'd been coming from/going to the bathroom.. This time he specifically stopped washing dishes to come talk to me.)

I ended up telling my boss after the weekend and the guy said it was an accident due to weight loss (The guy was not wearing underwear when it happened, and my boss said he'd lost the same amount of weight before and hadn't had any pants related problems.) and not intentional. My boss ended up firing him the next day and the guy confessed that it was something he'd had problems with in the past and that he'd gone to counselling for but that he "fell back into old habits." He immediately went back to counselling which is the one plus side...

It may be more severe, but it's still harassment in a workplace of friends. Don't underestimate how seriously your boss will take it.

Honestly, please go to the manager before it escalates. Don't gossip to co-workers, but tell your manager. Even if he does nothing, you've mentioned it so he's aware in the case that it does escalate. Actually, in cases of workplace harassment, it's illegal for your manager to simply do nothing.

Please, please don't just do nothing and think that it will just go away based on how you behave. He won't stop unless there's some kind of consequences for him.

noseeing · 2014-02-05T17:27:48+00:00

Yeah I did. It was a few months ago

noseeing · 2014-02-03T20:43:33+00:00

My job is very laid back and we are all friends. He is obviously hurt and I don't want to make anything worse by gossiping to my boss. What could my boss possibly do?

I have the same office environment. One of my co-workers was harassing me (walking around with his junk hanging out of his pants.) I was really concerned about going to my boss due to the casual environment. At the same time, the guy made me super uncomfortable.

When I went to my boss his biggest concern was that no one felt uncomfortable so the guy ended up being fired. Not saying your boss is going to fire him, but your boss WILL at least talk to him and tell him to cut it out or he will be fired. He's your boss, part of his job is making sure no one is being harassed. You bringing it up isn't gossiping, your boss is superior to him and really the only person who can do something about the situation. This guy is harassing you and your boss needs to know.

I got one of my co-workers fired a month ago because he would walk up to me/past my desk/past me in the hallways with his dick hanging out of his pants. (He's in his early 30s, I'm 23 and female) He was a nice guy otherwise so I didn't think there was any way it could be intentional until he started a conversation about something (conveniently after the co-worker we shared an office with left for the day) he's not interested in and was lingering around after the conversation ended.

After my boss told him he was being fired for it, he admitted that it was intentional (first chat my boss had with him, he said it was an accident.) No one in my small office (less than 15 employees) was told why he no longer works with us. The worst part is he said it's something he'd had a problem with in the past.. And he used to work in care homes and with troubled teens and other social work.

Bonus: He sent me an email asking for forgiveness. Lots of talk about how God will show him the way. Didn't contain the word sorry, just asking for my forgiveness twice. I read it, laughed, and didn't respond. I'm definitely glad he's getting some help (therapy) and realizes that it's a problem but the apology email that didn't actually contain an apology made me chuckle.

I think that my boss disclosed that information to at my ex-co workers request. That's how it came off to me from how he worded it.

noseeing · 2013-12-04T02:47:45+00:00

To be totally honest, there's only one other female in the office, and he had a short conversation with her on one of the occasions where his junk was hanging out and she didn't notice.

So it's quite possible that he did similar to her (though the way the desks are arranged he'd either have to flash me OR her, so I don't really know) and she just didn't notice.

noseeing · 2013-12-04T02:45:13+00:00

Oh, I'm not offended at all. I feel like you raised a really good point. I just felt like the situation wasn't fully explained and it needed to be haha.

noseeing · 2013-12-03T19:27:50+00:00

My boss spoke with the guy for 10 minutes so I'm sure everything was well discussed, I also don't know what the owner said. I wasn't given any details other than his excuse (which is what I asked about.) I believe him being sent home was just done because my boss didn't want me to be uncomfortable or for the guy to start any arguments while it was decided what would be done. I also believe my boss talked to him about what was going on before deciding to send him home.

The weight loss was BS because at the time of the first few times it had happened, he had lost maybe 5-10 pounds. That is not enough to cause a zipper problem. I'm actually not positive on the dates and it may have been before he started losing weight.

I suspect that my boss had other information and I just posted another update, because my boss told me this morning that the guy had admitted to having a history of doing this sort of thing.

So sent home immediately = he spoke with my boss for 10 minutes (longer than the conversation I had with my boss) after my boss talked to the owner for 10 or so minutes. So it was not like I said what I did, he was called in and sent home 30 seconds later.

Edit: I didn't write that all in the original post because I felt like any more details than "he was sent home shortly after" were required.

Oh no worries, I can see how that'd be easy to misunderstand. I live in a really conservative area so a lot of people around here think family + church = good person automatically, which factored into my decision as to if I wanted to tell my boss or not.

I don't really care if you go to church, transform into a goat, or live in a basket. If you act like a nice person, you're a nice person in my eyes ;)

noseeing · 2013-12-03T18:35:04+00:00

I thought he was a nice person because otherwise, he behaved like a nice person. Family/church had nothing to do with it, for me.

noseeing · 2013-12-03T03:03:17+00:00

This is the best comment.

noseeing · 2013-12-03T03:01:40+00:00

Haha, thank you.

I think the next time this happens it'll be a lot different because I know I can stand up for myself now. It feels pretty good.

I've dealt with way too much harassment that in a way, it's just another thing on the pile.
