[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st boss stood up to my harassment on day 1 and was very intense about it.

I grew up in the 80's and I was like oh well that's how it is.

He was like no, it won't change if you don't call it out.

So I've called it out my whole life. I'm not afraid of confrontation and I'd say nobody that knows me is going to harassed me at this point.

At a recent xmas party another vendor was at our venue and a young man made a rude comment about me sleeping with his boss (the only reason I guess he thought the owner would talk to me, not because I'm and exec) and my staff held their breath like "OMG here we go"... luckily the owner of the company was like "don't you dare talk like that" and made him apologize.

So seriously, they need to call it out.[/quote]

+1.

It took me years on the job to get to this point, I was raised to “be nice” and a people-pleaser.

My first office job there was an older man who harassed all the young women in our office and management turned a blind eye.  And I don’t mean something like call us sweetie, but rather touch us, or leer at us.

Finally he did it to a newer woman who called him out and went over heads to report it and threatened a grievance.  Suddenly management was interested in what we had experienced.  We were all so grateful for her speaking up.

So I’ve told my 17 yr old DD all along to just not take any sh*t.  I’m hoping me-too has had some impact on behavior, but I’ve told her to say, “you’re making me uncomfortable”.  If it continues just one more time, tell him point blank, STOP, and report it immediately.  [/quote]
