First time having to push back on constructive criticism given from a manager. Feel I'm unfairly being targeted when our work is a team effort. Any advice on how to push back fairly?

Be more present and engaged and produce at a faster rate

Well is it true?

Ask for specifics and advice on how you can handle better in future. We all have development areas, it's nice to get constructive feedback, helps to raise the bar

Are there more details around the feedback? Like specific accounts on how you were not engaging and such? Why do you think you're unfairly being targeted?

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex.

He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.
