I get harassed fairly openly by a coworker. I just keep quiet because she's pretty harmless and I don't feel like being further embarrassed. It's pretty funny but everyone else is super uncomfortable when she does it.
Tell me your stories ... good or bad.

Take her to one side and tell her to stop acting like a cunt.

and what are the negative sides to it
- Gucci0
there isn't much negative about it, but the other females who work in the office get totally offended.
it slides off my back, really.
- yeah, they tend to be catty.
Unless they're upset FOR you.Jaline - that's what they say. "if it was the other way around, she would have been fired by now" meh.Gucci
- well, that's true.Jaline
- Let it work for you. Don't do anything, let the other girls get offended.monospaced
- One of them may say something soon though.Jaline
- yeah, they tend to be catty.

Harassed how?
- sputnik20
is she a manager, an equal or subordinate?
my boss a while back harassed me non-stop, every day. not sexual but about my culture and pretty much everything about me. all day, all the time, in front of everyone...under the guise that it was all in good fun, good banter.
it was the worst working experience and i ended up complaining to HR about it before i left. the guy was such a wanker, i should've done more to stop it but instead i just left.
- what culture? (if you don''t mind my asking, just curious)harlequino
- pretty much an equal, i think?
definitely not a higher-up.
Gucci - I'm wondering about culture too. Just curious.Jaline
- does culture mean DESIGNER in this context?mg33

i was used to just punching people who deserved an ass whoppin.
My first big corporate gig was very very frustrating.
I slowly learned to shut up and take their shit, then go home and beat my wife and my dog.
kidding about the last part.
If people were allowed to whip other peoples asses without some pansy lawsuit, there d be a lot more respect shown to others, not only in the workplace but everywhere.
- just let it be legal for people to own guns. ...oh...wait...Affluenza

Not harrasment directly, as one might be accustomed too, but related and sucked.
Just before I left my last gig, the agency got bought up by one of the BIG HOLDING COMPANIES. I split, and soon after a female friend who was still there gets confronted by the holding company stooge who now was at the office, that another female complained that she believed my friend was having an affair with the CEO.
Now, the CEO was an ugly nebbish motherfucker, and my friend was hawt and looked like Buffy (season 2 hot Buffy, not season 5 gangly whore Buffy). And I knew her well, and naturally this was complete catty horseshit.
Nevertheless, in order to avoid a BIG AGENCY SCANDAL, they squeezed my friend out (who had been there for 12 years, helped build the company, and make 6 figure coin). They pressured her to quit and take a severance package.
We talked about suing and all this, but it wasn't worth it in the end. But pretty fucked up.
- hahah @ your Buffy descriptions (I know what you are talking about)Jaline
- I knew you would. :)harlequino

this is what you do if she's an equal: when she says something which bothers you (and which is indicative of the rest of the comments that bother you) pull her aside and just say "that's enough". walk away.
