Ok, Can I vent??? Please PT come to my rescue. I really can't talk to anyone about this, but yet I need some help.
I work in a reeeeeally small office. We are just 6 employees, and 2 sub-contractors. I love everyone I work (some more than others ) and I reeeeeally don't want to cause a ruckus.
But one of my co-workers sometimes makes lewd comments, that really bother me deep down inside. Most of the time, I can laugh them off. But today, he made a comment and it really bothered me, enough that I simmered about it all day. I wanted to tell him off so bad, but right after that there were people around again, and I couldn't say anything. Maybe I should have embarrassed him in front of everybody, I dunno.
If we weren't so small, I would take it to the HR department. But we don't even have one. I am very hesitant to take it to my boss because this guy is on kind of rocky ground for other reasons, and I'm afraid it would be the last straw and he would lose his job. (He has a wife and 2 small kids, and it would NOT be easy for him to find work elsewhere, so I would feel so guilty if I caused him to lose his job)
I know his comments don't mean much, and I should just ignore them. I've never been in this position before, and I don't know what to say. Maybe I should write him a letter telling him that he really does offend me???
