For background...,,
Each shift requires 2 people in my dept. At the moment there is just me so I do the work of 2 people. My manager asked me to train a new guy up who would then be with me. Yay I thought, brilliant, no more running myself ragged.
He was ok, he listened and as he had past experience picked things up quickly.
However, he was an absolute creep. In the first hour ( of a bloody 12 hour shift) he mentioned getting naked 3 times. As the day went on he told me he was a Casanova (who fucking says that?) repeatedly stood so close to me I had to ask ( and then tell) him to move away from me. He was telling me some bullshit tale and used the expression ' I can give a hard ride or a smooth ride, it's the ladies choice' WTF! ( just a few examples to give you an idea).
The highlight of the day was when he ran his hand down my arm in such a suggestive way I wanted to punch him. I pushed his hand away and told him to never touch me lagain.
He made my skin crawl.
I changed the conversation at every unacceptable point, I changed from being friendly to cold civil and remained professional. I'm assertive and not one to accept poor behaviour from anyone.
Now my natural reaction would be to deal with this myself and put him in his place in no uncertain terms but this would not protect all the other women at work from him.
I'm going to speak to my manager tomorrow and I will refuse to work with him again. I don't want him in the building never mind near me. 85% of the staff are men and it's bloody hard enough dealing with the sexist shit/abusive comments day in day out without adding this creep.
So, AIBU ?
