confused Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I started a new job and a couple of us were early and waiting outside. This man picked up his phone so I walked away to give him some privacy. After sitting for a while, I got up and started walking around. I guess he thought I was eavesdropping, but it wasn't intentional. I would rather not hear him, he just was talking loud. He starts saying into the phone "there is a heavyset woman here that I work with." I didn't say or do anything, just kept walking. He is about my age. It is true but I don't like to be described like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crtclms Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Write it down someplace. Write down anytime he is a asshole to you. If he continues to refer to you in negative and sexist terminology, you may end up with a "Hostile Workplace" claim. Do you have an HR department?

confused Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yes, we have HR. I don't know what his intention was. I guess he thought it was funny or that I would only hear if I was eavesdropping, but he talks loudly. He hasn't done anything else. Thanks crtclms I hadn't thought to keep a record. I don't expect to need it, but that is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
