I am a female cop and my boss keeps making weird sexual comments aimed at me. It is affecting my productivity because I do not feel comfortable getting close to him. Who could I talk to?

I would say report him, but sadly these attitudes I think have been ingrained deeply in the minds of police people. I would advise you to lay low and see if things pass.

Are there any other lady officers in your office that you could rely on? Maybe ask them if they've experienced anything similar.

This is sexual harassment. If you're not comfortable with it, report it. Don't let anyone intimidate you. Stop this before it's too late and you end up being hurt.

I am so sorry that you're going through this. It is not good that your productivity is being affected by the comments made by this man. If you have any friends in the force, try to rely on them through this time.

Whatever you do, DO NOT stay with this man by yourself in any enclosed spaces. I'm not saying he'll do things to you, but it's always best to be safe than sorry.

It sounds like you're in an awkward and uncomfortable situation. It's important to find someone you can talk to who can help and support you. Depending on the workplace, you may want to consider speaking with your union representative, HR or a supervisor. It's also important to document any incidents that have occurred so that you have evidence if needed in the future. Make sure you are taking care of yourself and doing whatever it takes to make yourself feel safe and secure.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.
