Sarah works with a great group of guys who have become like brothers to her. They have a professional yet fun relationship. They occasionally joke, tease, and play small practical jokes, but is has been a respectful environment. Recently, Aaron was hired and things have changed. Aaron is young and talented and having lots of fun at work. He enjoys the joking and pranks but doesn't seem to know when he's crossed the line. His jokes now include crude and vulgar references that have become outright offensive. They are sexually explicit and particularly degrading and disrespectful to women.
As times, the other guys seem to think he's hilarious, and at times they groan at how disgusting he is. When Sarah tries to let Aaron know how she feels about his comments, he responds with, "Oh, sorry, I keep forgetting there's a chick working here," or, "it was only a joke!" Sarah is starting to feel uncomfortable at work and tries to avoid Aaron. She loves her job and her "brothers" who work there, but she's wondering if she should start looking for a new job. What should Sara do?
Sara should try talking to the other guys that she works with to see if they can talk to him about the comments he has been making that are making Sara uncomfortable. And if that doesn't work then maybe should try talking to him again outside of work about how much it bothers her. I don't think she should start looking for a new job till she has done everything she can to get the problem resolved.
ReplyDeleteSara should talk to Aaron and tell him that he makes her feel uncomfortable and ask him to stop. If he doesn't stop, then ask the other guys to talk to him to ask him to stop. If nothing works, and Aaron doesn't stop then she should talk to her boss, or manager to get help.
ReplyDeleteI think Sara should talk to her "brothers" and let them know she cant stand working with him. If he doesn't quit being so obnoxious I think she shouldn't take it anymore and leave. I honestly feel there is no reason to disrespect her like that.
ReplyDeletei think sarah should just quit her job. if it bothers heer that much than she should just leave
ReplyDeleteI think Sara should talk to her brothers and tell them how she cant stand working with him.Because if he doesn't quit being obnoxious and annoying she wouldnt take it and just leave well after her two weeks. there is no reason to disrespect her like that by anymeans
