Unwelcome Job "Advancement"
When Kaleb takes his break in the staff room, Julia, his supervisor, follows him. She likes to fix his coffee and hand it to him as she backs him into the corner of the room. She compliments him on what his is wearing and how good he smells. She jokingly tells him how good they would look together and what a great team they would be. He knows she is actually serious because she continually tells him that she could help him get promoted if only they were a couple. He often talks about his girlfriend and tries to distract her with small talk and work-related conversation. His is now skipping his break when she is around to avoid getting cornered by her. Julia makes Kaleb feel very uncomfortable, but he doesn't want to treat his supervisor rudely because he needs this job. Kaleb has told his girlfriend about the problem, and she is insisting that he do something about is. What should Kaleb do? What would you do if you were Kaleb?
I would tell the girl that you are not interested because you have a girlfriend. Tell her that if the only way he gets the promotion is by dating her then he does not want the promotion until he can earn it.
ReplyDeletewell I would let my super advisor know that she shouldn't be flirty with me because it could cause problems in the work place. I would let her know i dont want this flirting to get over the top
ReplyDeleteI would tell the girl that I am not interested in her that way, but we can still be friends and I would make sure it doesn't happen again so that we can focus on our work. I would then go to my girlfriend and tell her I took care of it.
ReplyDeleteI would remind the supervisor that you have a girlfriend, and that you aren't interested. Tell her she needs to treat you like she does any other normal person. Tell her that you'll get the promotion by your work, not dating her.
ReplyDeleteIf i was kaleb i would tell julias supervisor what she is doing. I would tell julia that she is making him feel uncomfortable. He should do something about it and not just let her do that even when he has a girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI would tell the girl that you have a girlfriend and currently aren't looking for a relationship with someone else and you'd appreciate if she would respect that. Because its a working environment and they shouldn't be trying to form relationships with their co-workers. They just need to get their jobs done.
ReplyDeleteI think he needs to tell here to back off and tell her how it is flat out how it is. Tell here that the promotions isn't as important as his life the way it is now and the he will just work up until he gets a promotion himself.
ReplyDeleteI think that Kaleb needs to tell Julia that he is not interested in any sort of relationship with her as he is in a relationship currently. I think that he needs to talk to someone in a higher position than Julia what she is doing. I think he needs to tell her that he may file a lawsuit if she persists with these inappropriate advancements.
ReplyDeleteI would tell the girl that to back off and tell her that you don't want to talk to her. If he can't get the promotion unless they date then if i were him I would just wait until I can actually get it by earning it.
ReplyDeleteId tell her that im not interested because of the relationship with another girl. And then get a restraining order against her
ReplyDeletei think that kaleb should be telling julia that he don't want none of that, i mean who wants to be forced into a relationship.... especially if you are already in one!! he should jsut be a ma and take care of it him self.
ReplyDeleteI think Kaleb should just tell her that he is already in a relationship and that she is making him feel uncomfortable with the way she is trying to create a relationship between the two of them. He should just man up and tell her to back off.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Kaleb I would tell her that I'm not interested in having a relationship with her. I want to earn my promotion not have it given to me. I would also explain that it may cause problems with the other employees
ReplyDeletei would tell the girl that i am in a good relationship and we are working together and not dating
