Hey!
I posted a thread recently and now can’t find it because I’ve name changed since. It was basically about how my manager was being sexually creepy with his ‘banter’ and I didn’t know what to do. Just thought I’d post an update in case anyone sees this or is still around
Basically, I’m leaving the job. I actually got offered a better job somewhere else so it worked out really well, but the sexual comments were getting too much so I think I would have left anyway tbh. I’m counting down the days until I leave now
It’s actually got worse from my initial OP. I can’t even bring myself to go into the specific details but it’s more sexually explicit than what I put in my OP. Today he even joked about being raped (didn’t joke about the rape itself but still terrible nonetheless. Me and one of the girls were joking about something which is low level annoying (think having to stand all the way home on the train, that sort of thing) and he started saying how I should pretend to be pregnant to get sympathy. I then said it’s fine I don’t actually mind, we’re just joking etc and then he took it a step further and said ‘actually wait you should say I just got raped and now I’m pregnant and then they’ll definitely feel sorry for you’.
I actually stood up for myself and basically said why would you think that’s ok to say? He just laughed and said he was only kidding and it was really uncomfortable after
When I initially posted I was actually worried I was just boring and didn’t have a sense of humour or was weird to feel uncomfortable with these types of jokes but I know now the issue isn’t me, it’s him.
Anyway, I’m leaving and I don’t give a shit anymore so I’m just letting it brush off me but I’ll definitely be bringing it up when I have a leaving meeting. After my initial post I took the advice to note down every comment he makes and the date and time etc
Anyway, sorry for the long and jumbled up post but just thought I’d post an update in case anyone is still around because a lot of people helped and gave advice on my initial thread so thanks so much again 😊
Just counting down the days until I leave and tbh I’m half considering just going to my doctor and requesting a sick note for stress for the meantime
