[quote=Anonymous]All men are disgusting pigs, IMO. It doesn't matter how great of a husband they are to you or how great of a father they are to your kids, in the end, they all have these tendencies.

I would look for WOB or WSOB and look for a job with one of those.

I think what "invites" it is that you are quiet and non-assertive. I used to be like that but worked on it in therapy. Establishing firm boundaries is key in any work environment. I'd recommend speaking with a therapist to learn some mechanisms you can employ in future jobs. They are simple things like "John, please do not touch me. I know a pat on the back is a friendly gesture, but I don't find it appropriate at work." And then after verbally stating that, send an email later to him stating the same thing. That way even if you do have to go to HR later, you have proof of the times you asked for the behavior to stop. Or if you're too anxious to speak in person to stop the behavior, immediately send an email after he leaves your desk. "John, I did not appreciate the way you touched me on the back earlier. I found it inappropriate for the workplace. Please see that this doesn't happen again." [/quote]
