Been down this road a couple of decades ago - it's a much less Wild West scenario now. Corporate is responsible for training management about this stuff. There's somebody in corporate who's job it is to care.It's a high stress matter, no fun for anybody. A polite anonymous request for local training to corporate might yield results with minimum blowback from the trainees.
Anyone can report improper actions to HR. Document, document, document. Copy emails, statements. Document who/what/where/when. She has two witnesses. What's the hesitation? Waiting for someone else 'to do something'?
"Squatch and the Mayor are both on to something . Jim , the friend needs to be an ex NFL lineman . Mr Mayor , yes , the question is what Rick's wife needs to do . Damn , what an embarrassment to all of us guys . Dusty
Lannis , what I am saying is , I can't and won't attempt to tell Rick's wife how to act in this situation . Yeah , the manager needs to be shown the error of his ways , Jim was suggesting the direct approach , and the Mayor was offering an alternative . Dusty
As Cindy said the proper action is to report this to the Human Resources Department. Nobody confronts the Manager but the HR Department.Dean[/quote Oh I do agree Dean , and tell Cindy thanks . However as a guy , my gut reaction is punch the manager in the nose . Wrong , probably , satisfying , certainly . Dusty
I'm more on the side of Nick here. If the young woman is so disgusted and offended by a hug- it's up to her to at the very least to say something. She could have refused the hug right there and then- it it would have turned the tables and made him uncomfortable.OK- so the guy's an a$$. I'm not defending his actions. However, does this mean you really want to go through the whole soul sucking tedium of dealing with "HR"? Really? Patronizing and robotic discussions about sensitivity, respect, and feelings? Do you honestly think at this age you can "un-jerk" some guy by talking it out? If life is just too unbearable at the bank- she can write an anonymous letter to mention that he's shown a pattern of being a jerk to women. If she's paranoid- then she can mail a copy to herself so she has a date stamped proof of when she sent it. Then she could start keeping a diary of sleights and actions on his part that could be perceived as retribution. Then she could arrange several meetings with her female co workers to form a plan of action and to write out statements. Then she could meet with HR, who will in turn meet with the friends, meet with the manager, and ask the woman to write out a formal treatise on the event. Then again, she could choose to not let something like this rule her life. For god's sake- they are burning people to death in Libya.
