Hi all,
I know our CiteHR is not a platform to discuss all these topics; it was initiated to help the HR fraternity gain more information. But today, the situation is quite odd, and the help of other HR members is needed.
A person is working at a well-known pharma company in the country. The HR department consists of her (HR officer) and the boss (GM-HR). The HR officer is 27, and the GM is 62 with a well-settled family. Today, the GM-HR proposed to the HR officer over the phone. He mentioned that even though he knows he shouldn't say these things, he couldn't help but express that he is very much attracted to her. He also added that if he were some 30 years younger, he would have liked to marry her and said all these inappropriate things.
The girl is just perplexed after hearing all this. She wanted to confront him directly, but alas!
Please suggest what her attitude should be while working with him from now onwards. It would be unwise if she leaves the job for this reason, especially in this market where finding a new job is challenging. Please guide.

Congratulations,
You can start minting money henceforth. Once his money depletes, he will automatically run away from you. But ensure that you are really beautiful; otherwise, he will win the race. If he is smarter than you...
Good luck,

Dear user,
The correct spelling is "bad loser." Kindly, shut your dirty mouth and stop writing inappropriate comments.
To the moderator(s),
This individual, 'bad loser,' has consistently posted meaningless and nonsensical content on citehr. Several people have already requested for them to be blocked. Kindly take action.
Thank you.

Bad loser - that really is a bad thing to comment.
AKS really is in a situation. And it really is nonsense from the GM.
I am sure AKS - you would be careful enough not to let the GM get any chance of approaching you. Also, warn other colleagues around you about this guy. That's on the precaution side.
On the offensive side, work with a cold face with the GM and behave professionally ONLY. Whenever he approaches on such things - BE VERY FIRM in giving the answer back on the face. (It is a good idea to do that in front of a few people, as witnesses).
You meanwhile need to see who is the next person in the escalation ladder. Being in HR, you can also get easy access to the sexual harassment policy (if there is one, else time to initiate one, though this policy would be difficult to get in place with the GM). Easier said than done, but you can take up this challenge and make a difference.
Remember, all big revolutions start from a single person (mind).
Meanwhile, I am sure other members here will also be able to guide you on this serious issue.
Guys, please help AKS here.

It's really a pathetic situation... AKS, I think firstly, get yourself updated on the sexual harassment act for more help. I'm attaching a PDF file on this for you. Also, try to collect some proof like if he messages, then save it or his mobile bill details if he calls anytime.
Also, in the office, be very blunt and clear about his approach, and involve some more employees in your confidence. But in the end, I can say it's only you who can protect yourself. Be brave. :icon1:

I am the father of a son your age. I don't mean what you uttered because you did not realize my holistic view and banter to ease your tense feelings, giving too much importance to this on this site, which is out of proportion.
Your boss is ridiculous in his behavior, and you have to take this casually because a wise person of your father's age knowingly would not behave so frivolously with you, knowing you are office staff, which will bring him disrepute.
He must be joking and just kidding with you. You may also have some weakness to which he paid attention because otherwise, he would not have behaved in this manner until he finds something exciting from your end. You should first introspect, then straightforwardly ask him what exactly encouraged him to propose to you in this manner. This blunt question will calm and quench his curiosity in you.
Wish you the best of luck, and hopefully, you will take all advice sportingly.

Dear Mr. Badlu,
The way you have written is really shameful. If someone is in a problem, we should suggest our ideas. If we do not want to suggest, we can keep quiet. I am requesting you not to do this in the future. I too got upset after reading your reply.
Thank you,

Hi, as if you just ignore this issue from your mind once, you will feel free. Then you can make any decision you want. Keep doing your work routinely. Answer him only officially. Don't worry. I don't have much experience to deal with, but it's my suggestion. Take care. Cheer up. Bye.

Hi,
I just want to say please inform your super senior boss if any; otherwise, this will cause you problems in the future from his side. Never give any single chance to your GM to raise any finger towards you in front of anyone in the office.
