How would you handle this situation?

Becky i shouldnt say this but these no better way to stop him than to put him down you know you could say " we all know you've got a small willy" that should do it

first of all..at work soemone should feel save and that means no harrassments whatsoever.
If there is a person at work, specially for this kind of affairs, this person should be told.
She/he can be the one telling th eguy to let go or otherwise...
If there is no such person, And I know this by experience, this guy should get a warning from all of you, a bunch of you telling him to stop or you all would report. Maybe he is so insecure about himself, that he needs to act like this.
Or he`s a huge macho and should get punished. It`s difficult to tell cause we don`t know him. One thing is for sure, he has to be stopped!

A friend of mine was being harrassed by a coworker. She didn't want to report him for the obvious reasons that come with it. Instead she set him up at a christmas party. She went to the party with her husband (who is a big and manly guy). When the perpetrator went to the bathroom, her husband followed him and did his business right next to him. While they were doing their business, the husband casually said: "do you see mine? why the f uc k do you think my wife would ever want to bother with yours?"

I almost died when they told me. We thought of the plan together and I never thought they'd go through with it. Well, her husband sure is a heck of a guy with an awesome sense of humor. For the other f uck er, he never bothered my friend again. :P

I know it is hard, and while reporting him is definitely right, I totally understand why someone wouldn't. In fact, most times, I wouldn't suggest to report it. For various reasons. Though he must be stopped. Do you think she could have a friend have a talk with him?

Ive been sexually harassed more times than I can think of. Here is what I do.

1 . Ignore it with a strong dont mess with me look.

If that doesnt work.

2. When the person approaches, in a loud voice so the rest of the office can hear ,please leave me alone I am trying to do my job.

If that doesnt work,

3. If you come anywhere near me again I am going to injure you. I have had to carry this threat out a few times, they dont bother me again.

As you are in the states I guess the injured person may attempt to sue you for injury, therefore it would be better to record on a hidden tape machine the persons sexual harassment , then play it back to them with a threat of reporting them, that should do the trick.

Dawn

report it and try to get as many ppl as u trust knowing of the situation. these things are worst when yr stuck in a hole without anyone to turn too...

okay

I'm a team manager and manage a team of 15 people, i have had to deal with this a few times, sexual harrasment in the work place is determined by YOU and not the person doing it, for example a dirty joke might be laughed at by some and you may be offended.

You are given a right to be comfortable in the work place and not feel offended or harrased by a colleagues comments, wether they be joking or not. Its classes as Negative or Non-justified criticsm or remarks.

I would report it to the line manager who will then have a discreet word with the employee, i always tell my employees that a "number" of people have made comments so that it can not look obvious or can not have any come back, the person won't be sacked or anything, a quiet "shot across the bow" normally does the trick.

I'd let him know that I like women only and that I ain't gonna be his bitch. If he carried on, I'd threaten him, and let him know that he might find himself on the wrong end of a fist if he carries on. If he had mates, and they wanted to gang rape me, then I think I would have to seek the help of the personell officer.

This post ain't a joke. I know all of my examples are unlikely, but it has been known that guys can suffer from sexual harrasment too. If a girl did something to me, like touch my ass or something I'd take it as a compliment, but I'd have a word with her if she took it too far.

I'd tell his supervisor.
We had a problem like that with a guy, where I used to work at. He never took the hint and ignored it when we plain out told him "leave us alone."

He even blew off the first two warnings the supervisor gave him. It finally all came to a head when he took it way too far and the girl walked out and sued the company. Yeah, it was the company's fault for just giving him a slap on the wrist. But what I am saying is some people just don't get it or don't care.
So your best bet is to tell mgmt and cover your own butts.

Report it. I know it's hard but it has to be done. We had a guy at work who was always harrassing some of the women. When one girl told him to leave her alone, he started deleting files off her computer. It didn't stop until he was reported, investigated and eventually terminated.

Probably it's not smart but I would kick him cause I can't control my temperament.
