Press record before you walk into each meeting with him. Verbally tell him he's too close, you need space and call it out. "Did you just try to touch me on my waist"
Ok I will do this
Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I was able to handle the situation today and I believe he got my message loud and clear. I’m hopeful he will back off now.
Can you please tell me what you really did? I am facing a similar thing.
You're Not Alone, and This is Not Okay
I am so sorry you're going through this. It's incredibly difficult and stressful to deal with this kind of behavior, especially from someone in a position of power.
What your boss is doing is absolutely unacceptable. It's a gross violation of professional boundaries and constitutes sexual harassment. No one, regardless of their marital status or position, has the right to make another person feel uncomfortable or unsafe in their workplace. You Have Options
It's important to know that you're not powerless in this situation. Here are some steps you can take:
* Document Everything:
* Keep a detailed record of every incident, including dates, times, locations, and specific details of what happened. This can be crucial evidence if you decide to take formal action.
* Save emails, texts, or any other form of communication that could be relevant.
* Set Clear Boundaries:
* Be assertive and direct. Tell your boss firmly that his behavior is inappropriate and unwelcome.
* Maintain professional distance at all times. Avoid being alone with him if possible.
* Seek Support:
* Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor about what you're going through.
* Consider joining a support group for women who have experienced sexual harassment.
* Involve HR or Legal Counsel:
* If the behavior continues or escalates, contact your company's HR department. Many organizations have policies in place to address sexual harassment.
* If HR is not helpful or if the situation is severe, you may want to consult with an attorney.
It's Important to Prioritize Your Safety and Well-being
Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who can help. Your safety and emotional well-being are paramount.
Would you like to discuss potential next steps or explore resources available to you? I can also provide information on legal rights and protections in your specific location if needed.
Please know that you have the right to a safe and respectful work environment.
Keep looking for job as well paralelly and move on. This is toxic place to work
Be vocal when people are around and be assertive that your personal space is being violated.
Dont try to be aggressive and be assertive saying
" You are violating my space and such unprofessional behaviour is not appreciated at workplace. You'll lodge a complaint if such harrasment happens again "
I suggested you to be assertive and not aggresive is to make sure you have not been seeking attention and trying claim anything fake about that person which might happen as corporate gossips are worse.
Keeping proof handy will be helpful if you get to counter any official process . And that will help you in your performance assessment which I have seen is being used to harass.
Submit those proofs to POSH and HR.
Married men are scared of being projected as pervert. And being vocal suppresses them at the initial stage
That's why I said to be assertive. People don't tend to believe or they don't want to intervene.
that's why being assertive is a subtle move to put forth the issue on the table but not being too loud about it.
In that scenario, you'll get lesser resistance.
And keep track of your work too.
He might create trouble using work like extended hours, weekend work ... Could be anything. That you need to showcase HR while you go through your assessment.
If that happens again, lodge official POSH complaint stating you've raised your concern earlier and this happened again.
Don't stand for that. Making discreet audio recordings is a good idea. But whether you record him, or ultimately report his behavior, make sure you don't let it continue. Make the boundaries clear and enforce them.
Yes I am just shocked. He has a completely different public persona. He is very well respected, is very knowledgeable and comes across as a very approachable leader. I am having a very hard time believing he’s capable of something like this in private
You can keep required proof and file case against him. POSH is meant for that. I don’t know what is stopping you.
Make it known to him that it's making you uncomfortable. Silence to some people means you aren't noticing it, or minding the attention. Make it clear it's not wanted and if continues after that contact your HR and make a complaint.
Also want to thank the person who dm’d me. The perspective helped me in addressing the issue. I can’t dm that person anymore hence thanking through this comment!
DM for any help going forth 🙂 cheers and may your issues get addressed
The mother-fucker! That’s it! Just wanted to get my thoughts out. You got a lot of good advice. Don’t put up with this shit. This guys grandiose feeling of himself and forward attempts at making you uncomfortable is shameful.
