Guy at work checking out my boobs!

I don’t wear particularly low cut tops or tight clothing but I’m naturally large breasted and it’s quite difficult to hide Blush

There’s a manager at work who constantly stirs at my boobs. Usually when I ask questions or need help with tasks I see his eyes wonder. At first I thought it was because he’s shy so he was looking down a lot but he doesn’t do this to anyone else! It’s getting to the point where it’s embarrassing now. Would you say something or just let it go?

I would say “hey (insert name) my eyes are up here- (point to face)

I would say something like “hey I’m up here”!

It’s tempting but he’s a manager in our small office and I just think it would make things more awkward as he’s extremely shy aswell!

You just answered your question then if you think it will be awkward

Suzi888 · 10/02/2022 01:48

You really only have four options.
Ignore it and carry on being stared at.
Confront him in some way.
Tell HR.
Look for another job.

Have any other staff noticed it? If it’s that obvious everyone is going to be talking about it soon anyway.

A friend worked with a woman in the same situation as you. In the end she just said "Oi.. They don't answer back you know!!"

I have large breasts and if I'm talking to a man whose eyes are on them I usually stop speaking.
When they realise and look up I usually say...yes, I find it fascinating that my tits can talk too.
I have actually said it to a manager.
One of my colleagues actually dropped into a crouch and stared at a blokes crotch when he was staring at her breasts. When he asked her what she was doing, she told him she was just listening to his dick.

God how infuriating. If you want to handle the issue delicately could you approach him at some point and say "I've noticed when we talk there isn't a lot of eye contact, and I'm concerned we don't have a great rapport. Is there something we can do to improve that?"
It will probably still be awkward because he will know what he's doing but it gives a slight way out ..

I would tell HR if you’re not comfortable addressing it.

Stop talking as soon as his eyes wander. Every.single.time.

ShineTogether · 10/02/2022 06:43

It's not ok. I've worked with people like this before and it makes you so uncomfortable.
Speak to HR.

If it's affecting you enough to post on MN about it then it's a problem.

If you won't do it for yourself, do it to protect others. Are there more junior or younger women working in this creep's vicinity?

Ps sometimes the "shy" ones are the worst

RussiasGreatestLoveMachine · 10/02/2022 06:44

Stopping talking is actually the only non-confrontational way to handle it.

But you will have to stop talking every time he does it.
