Yesterday morning I came into work about 30 minutes early to catch up on emails I had left from the day before and I walked in on my boss leaning over the copier topless and making “prints”. She was very startled obviously, pulled her shirt down to cover herself, and said firmly “if you tell anyone, I’ll tell them you touched them” and walked away. She hasn’t said a word to me since or even looked at me & cancelled morning meeting this week & next. How do I approach this? I haven’t told anyone.

First- write down in exact details of time and place and the exact word for word exchange. Go to HR. Use her exact words about retaliation! Protect yourself and report her. Also look for a new job asap.

Pretend it never happened and start looking for a different job. You will never be able to trust this person and can’t work with her long term.

Also, many modern copiers have memory/ hard drives, that store images of every document scanned. If she did 'scan' herself, there will be proof.

Go to HR immediately and report. Do not talk to her outside of documented conversations either in writing or recorded calls. Look for a new job.

I know of a person who was harrassed at their job, and took the complaint to HR but only after contacting an attorney, and HR had to send a representative to any meeting they were in together. She kept her job while she sued the company and her boss. They did not indemnify him. She got a 6 figure settlement. Then quit.
Im saying all of this to say: CYA. Get representation and them see HR. Do not quit.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously.

Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
