Sexual harassment from female manager

[grungeneverdied]

I have a manager who is female (I'm male by the way) she is a few years younger then me and gets a lot of male attention in the work place. I am an expectant father and in a serious committed relationship. I show this woman no attention other then work related yet she seems to turn every conversation sexually explicit, she's very touchy around me (hands on my arm, reaching out to touch my hand when I walk past, just generally touching me as she talks) and has actually as of today slapped my bum as I walked past and told me she felt quite excited by it. I'm seriously considering mentioning this to someone as it's making me uncomfortable and is not stopping even though I've mentioned that I don't find it funny and I'm ignoring it. Is this just being playful or is this more like harassment? Am I overreacting?

Well done for reporting her. You did absolutely the right thing. The way she acts around you is completely unacceptable.

Good for you! I wonder if she's trying it on because you're not giving her attention and she's trying to hook you .... but it's wrong whatever her motives may be

Pleased to read your update, well done op. You did the right thing.

Well done op - you absolutely should not have to put up with such behaviour. Hopefully that will be an end to it.

well done OP - I'm really glad to hear that your HR team are supporting you.

I hope that will be the end of it - you may find that she responds to you very negatively, by giving you the cold shoulder - which can also make your working life difficult. If this is the case, don't be afraid to go back to HR and ask for their support again.

Well done OP! I hope it gets sorted for you

Just to add my support. I am glad you reported her as her behaviour is unacceptable in any situation. I hope that will be the end of the situation for you.

Really well done OP! Keep us posted! You definitely did the right thing and not a second too soon.

Well done for reporting her, OP - I just hope that she doesn't find some other way of getting back at you for having had the temerity to complain about her...
