To feel uncomfortable or am I overreacting?

[demystifying]

I've nced for obvious reasons.

I work in an office which also has a warehouse. The manager of our branch has his son (16/17) working with us to help out as we are short staffed. Me and the manager also work together but he's still higher up than me. He isn't trained to do most of the work in the warehouse yet so he just give them paper work etc and helps them out. He seems nice so thats not an issue.

However, when he first started properly, he was flirty, one time he also tried to kiss me. I asked him what he was doing and he seemed embarrassed and apologised and he asked me not to tell anyone.

Things were ok after that but recently he's been staring at me and I sometimes notice he's looking at my chest. I also feel uncomfortable if I'm alone with him. My manager has meetings at other places a lot so he asks me to tell his son what he needs to do, I don't have an issue with this but he comes to my office a lot. Yesterday, I also noticed he was smirking at me. Later, he asked me if I was single. I told him I didn't want to answer that and he said he was just making conversation.

Aibu to feel uncomfortable and am I overreacting?

You need to tell your boss ASAP. That sounds awful.

I don't think you're overreacting OP. I also think that you should have told his father about the time when he tried to kiss you. Now that you feel conscious that he's looking at your chest, I definitely think it's time to put his father in the picture, otherwise this kid is going to become a sex pest which is inappropriate anywhere, let alone in the workplace. If you don't feel comfortable to do that, then I'd call him out on it, ie, 'will you please stop looking at my chest and asking personal questions, it is not appropriate in the workplace, and could get you in serious trouble, culminating in you losing your job'. If you say this firmly and then walk away, hopefully he'll get the picture, but if not, you definitely need to speak to his father or another manager.

You need to tell your boss. Of my son was behaving like that I would definitely want to know. It's hugely inappropriate anywhere let alone at work!

The way your post reads, it feels like he is almost predatory. The smirking at you and looking at your chest. I wouldn't like that at all. Not over reacting in my opinion.

Have a chat with your manager. Not sure how you would say it because of him being his son. Definitely needs mentioning though.

Thank you for your replies. I will tell my boss but I know he'll deny it as he doesn't do it when other people are around.

The reason I didn't tell his father about him trying to kiss me was because he seemed embarrassed and he apologised so I didn't think this would happen

It's a power trip in two ways: 1) he's the bosses son and 2) you're expected not to tell because he asked. Now that he has the measure of you, it's escalating. Call a confidential meeting with HR or speak to whoever you would speak to if this pest wasn't the manager's son. If that means speaking to the manager, ask ACAS for some guidance and join a union. Always join a union.
