A young colleague confided in me, and I don't know how to advise her.
She is in her first (administrative) job with a promise of a move into another department, which would really make her career.
Unfortunately the manager of the new department asked her to sleep with him, and when she declined, politely, on the basis that it would be unprofessional.
He then got very abusive on Facebook, and is now blocking her career move by subtly undermining her skills in public, refusing to support her etc.
I am so cross that this shit STILL goes on. I am really absolutely hopping with anger.
However, I don't know whether to advise her to suck it up, and bide her time, leave, or take it to HR.
What might HR do, if someone reported this to them? I should add that of course she is infinitely replaceable, and losing him would cause a huge cost to the business.
It is a large privately owned firm.
