NC for this one. I've recently taken a part time job in an admin after having a baby this year. I was desperate to regain a sense of self beyond being "just mum"
I found something part time that works for my family and was excited to bring in some extra money and socialise with others, I've found being a SAHM very isolating.
I did my first shift this week and it became apparent very quickly that the boss is a sleaze. He made a point of shadowing me the entire shift and was making inappropriate comments. I ended up having to stay late as he was distracting me from the tasks at hand, I believe this was deliberate.
He has also been texting me since the shift ended, asking me to work extra time when he's going to be in the building and inviting me on projects with him (which I made excuses for to get out of going)
We have met ONCE and he is doing all of this already.
Unfortunately due to abuse in my past I don't feel able to assert myself and my modus operandi has been to smile and awkwardly laugh it off which in hindsight I'm wondering whether he's misread that as me being flirtatious.
I don't feel able to confront him about the behaviour and continue working there so I'm considering ghosting the job and not turning up for my next shift.
He is the boss so there is nobody above him to complain to and honestly I wouldn't want the aggro even if there were.
AIBU to duck out without explanation?
