to get someone sacked

I know what he did was totally wrong an the company won't stand for it. But with the state of the country WRT money i feel a little guilty that he has lost his job.

Basically, a bouncer at work was bullying me. Telling me how to do my (totally) different job, patronising me, making me feel tiny in front of my collegues, including getting them to laugh at me with his snidey little comments and brush past me to touch everytime he went past.. This is after i refused to sleep with his. He also ignored me when he wasn't doing any of the above.

WIBU to make a complaint knowing he would get sacked. I feel a little guilty as he will have no prospects in security industry as he will have his license stripped and his daughter who he supports is having a baby.

I understand your guilty feelings but that is because you are a nice person. If he was a nice person he wouldn't have acted in such a MCP fashion and he wouldn't have got the sack for doing so. So save your guilty feelings - if nothing else, you have saved another girl/woman from similar bullying at your workplace later on.

If the management didn't think it was serious enough, they wouldn't have sacked him - it was their call, not yours.

Definitely speak up. You must!

He is bullying you, sexually harassing you and sounds thoroughly unpleasant.

If he valued his job, or had any respect for himself or others, he wouldn't be acting this way. Do not let him get away with it!

No, yanbu. Economic times and family circumstances aside, he was bullying you and sexually harassing you. Neither is acceptable in any industry.

bunnymother · 01/02/2011 04:15

YANBU. He got himself sacked, not you. All you did was alert someone to his behaviour, the rest was all him.

Thanks all, thats the thing aswel, everyone else liked him and i just feel shunned by them now. And also tbh, the other desperate clingy leechy girls i work with both around my age (19) enjoyed the attention. But thanks guys!

YANBU at all and good for you for standing up for yourself!!! There is a consquence for every action, and he should have considered the repercussions of his.

You will be unpopular for a while, but your co-workers will get over it eventually.

gorionine · 01/02/2011 06:27

You would be unreasonable if he was just not doing his job properly but in this instance YANBU at all. His actions have direct consequences for you and not nice ones as that!

TyraG · 01/02/2011 06:27

He's an asshole, he deserves whatever is coming to him for treating you the way he has.

IAPJJLPJ · 01/02/2011 06:29

It does sound extreme to have sacked him and not give him a warning first. Maybe he was already on a warning for this behaviour previously - in which case it is completely his own fault and you have saved yourself and others alot of hassle.

InnocentRedhead · 01/02/2011 06:47

Well, they are a very new company on our doors, only being on around a month so they would have still being on a probation but yeah he was probably on a warning.

I have had a lot of people say to me, oh but that is what bouncers are like, like i should just learn to deal with it! I don't go to work to get harrassed. I get touched up enough by customers so i don't want it from staff too!

Absolutely not your problem the fact that he's been sacked.

Why would he lose his SIA badge though? He'll have to explain to a new employer why he lost his previous job but that's his fault not yours. I'm pretty sure one of the twats who got sacked from the bar I used to work at kept his when he was given the boot, bit maybe it's different for different offences.

InnocentRedhead · 01/02/2011 07:17

WRT losing SIA badge - it is what i heard, so i am not 100% knowing of that. I'll have to find out now, got curious. Thanks all for saying i did the right thing. I was just guilty you know!

Well if he sexually harassed her, there's no telling how many other women he may have done it to. If he did it to any customers they may have complained as well, if that was the case that would also have been a big reason he was booted.
