16:01the enemy of your enemy dies later
16:07like they, for personal reasons, are kinda isolated and like
16:12workplace harassment comes in many forms
16:16the question is, how much worse will it get if you don't speak up?
16:16idk, they get along with the others in the office
16:28but like its hard to criticize them
16:37Being isolated isn't an excuse.
16:40is there a way you can talk to them in a civil;....calm...way without them spiraling?
16:50Okay, so before HR, the real question is HAVE you confronted them about it directly? Like, if you haven't said "that makes me uncomfortable, please don't say that" then do your best to try that first.
16:51They gotta learn what's acceptable.
16:54not my place to judge or advise, but i hope you’re doing alright in spite of it
16:56i mean ive been just straight up not responding to them whenever they make a joke i find too crass for the workplace
17:10i will literally just stop cconversation dead in its tracks
17:11even with that external social pressure i think its still worth at least clearly letting them know it made you uncomfortable
17:17I mean if it's bordering on sexual harassment you're completely justified in dealing with it
17:21THEY DONT PICK UP THE HINT
17:21Mention that you don't find the joke cool, and if it happens again, escalate.
17:28that means theyre dense
17:30GIRLLLLL IF YOU GOT THE YAPPER TO SHUT UP, READ THE ROOM GJFDKLHJ;FDAKL;
17:33aia set your boundaries plssssss
17:35Hit them back with the “well that’s an interesting thing to say!” :grinning_face:
17:40some people cannot parse hints you just gotta tell it to their face sometimes honestly
17:43You need to SAY something, if only to cover your own ass.
17:49can you ask office mom for help?
17:51deadass like when they do that supid moan thing then they use the card reader
17:51maybe the occasional "please don't" would help in this situation
17:54No, no, have you DIRECTLY said it. Because if you are just "hinting" they can deny it.
17:57Some behavior needs to be stopped with a firm hand
17:59i litearlly go, 'dude. ew.'
18:06and they think its funny and keep doing it
18:07HOW DO THEY NOT TAKE THE HINT
18:17aia i would go to hr
18:19can you stop being friends with them REEE
18:22aia you have to set boundaries or at least say something
18:23i did make a partial comment about it
18:26either at this point either stop giving them a reaction or just start by distancing yourself from them
