I was terribly harrassed at work today and eventually worked off the job?  What now?

Yes, Go back to work. Be tough, tell her you didnt appreciate what she did and how unprofessional it is to act like that. It seems like they still want you to work there and everything, you arent the first person to ever get mad and walk off the job, but if the abuse continues or gets worse then you will have to consider something else.

Absolutely there are laws to protect you, but what you have stated is somewhat vague, you should try asking a more specific questions, where did the icident take place home, work? what kind of harassment? sexual, physical,or verbal was it your boss or a coworker.

Talk to your/their manager or contact your Human Resoources department right away and let them know what happened. Not only is it demeaning/insulting to you, it makes your company look unprofessional for it's employees to be speaking that way in front of a client.

Take this up to the corporate office.  He is verbally harassing you.  Also, you have witnesses that he's been speaking rudely to you.  If you can find the number to the corporation, or bring it to his manager... you have every right to take it to the next level.

This happens alot especially in smaller businesses where you have family members or people who have worked for the company for a long time. Plant a small tape recorder somewhere near the place where people have a tendency to gather and talk. Break room, smokers area, lunch room.You might be able to head off some of the roomers before they get to your Boss. Try to make them look foolish. You cannot play this for your Boss but it could come in handy if things got to a point of he said she said. These 2 people do not like you because the boss obviously likes your work and they feel threatened. Whether the threat is real or not. In private explain to your Boss the situation at hand and without pointing the finger at the 2 girls who have it in for you. Just tell him that you are not like that and he will have to form his own opinion about you. You like working here but you will seek another position elsewhere if he feels that theses accusations are true. Ask him if he has had this happen with other employees? Sometimes they don't see a pattern until you bring it up? Had the same problem with the New Head Chef where I work. She was out to get me fired because I was too meticulous in my work. She would tell people what she made and then blame me in front of the boss for telling people what she made(I am the Payrolll clerk/Bookkeeper) I stuck to my guns and stayed on top of her all the time. I finally saw a problem with things missing and people fighting with each other all the time. I went to my Boss and left him a note saying think about when your problems here all started? I left it at that. He started watching her more closely and found out she was stealing stuff from the freezer on a daily basis. He fired her and apologized to me and we have a very good trust relationship going now. It was not easy and I had to bite my tongue many many times. Be careful if you use the tape you may hear things you did not really want to hear. Stick to your guns and keep your cool. If they think they are starting to wear you down they will keep on doing it. If they think it isn't working they will give up.

cover your a$$, cya, CYA.  If you can keep your contact with her to a minimum then by all means, do so.  Make sure that you cover all your bases when you are at the old jobsite.  See if someone else at your old company could be your point of contact.  If her complaints are general, then maybe you could talk to her supervisor and see if something could be resolved that way. If there is already a record of a problem between the two of you, then your old company should be able to restrict her from harassing you further. \n    Good luck to you.

When I was younger, I faced this same situation and it was very uncomfortable.  My advice to you is twofold:  First, let your boss know that his comments are not appreciated and are unprofessional, preferably via email so you have proof.  Next, request a confidential interview with your companies HR department.  I guarantee your claim will be taken seriously, especially if you come with proof in hand. My guess is either your boss will be terminated after the investigation or severely reprimanded.  Most comapnies have a zero tolerance for sexual harassment as it has cost businesses millions of dollars if it goes to court.  Document everything you did to try to resolve the situation.  Use a notebook and note days you spoke to someone, who you spoke with, their title and what statements they made.  Be very factual-do not embellish.  If your company wants to bury this or refuses to correct the situation, which is unlikely, then go to a lawyer with your notebook, any emails or written correspondence and your voice recording.  The voice recording may not be admissible in court as it is illegal in many states to record someone without their consent however bring it all and let the lawyer determine what he can use or not, if it should come to that.  If you do go to court, it will take a long time so be prepared to find another job and carry on with your life.  But you have a good chance of your company doing the right thing so more than likely that last piece of advice will not be necessary.  Good luck and remember, you are protected from sexual harassment by law.

I think that you should go straight to the store manager, and tell him what has been going on. Tell him that you feel uncomfortable with all their questions. While you may like your coworkers, you are under no obligation to tell them anything of your personal life. If the store manager does not do anything to resolve this problem, go to the district manager. Keep going over everyone's head who refuses to acknowledge this complaint of (possible) sexual harrassment. Most chain restarants (Pizza Hut, McDonalds) have a 1-800 number to call to report sexual harrasment.

Everyone is entitled to have an off day.  Don't take it personally unless it becomes habitual or there is a threat made.  At that point inform your supervisor/manager of the activity.  There may be an Aggressive/Anger Behavior that needs attention by people that have been trained on how to deal with the problem.  Your supervisor/manager should have a crisis number to call if he deems necessary.  If it’s your boss that has the issue call your HR Dept. (HR will handle the call or direct you to the proper party). He may have had previous issues with others and this is information the company needs to take action one way or the other.\n\nEveryone is expendable.  But at the same token everyone is valuable.  It all depends on weather the individual has a valid case of harming or damaging people or property.\n\nDoes this issue involve a Union?  This would simply require filing a grievance.  \n\nTaking action or replying in a negative fashion is often acted on prematurely, wait a day and then reply.  Sometime what you think happened was actually what your mind made of it without thinking things through.\n\nGood Luck

you need to contact your local wage and labor board. There is absolutley no tolerance for that kind of behavior. If you can't afford a lawyer, at least give the gov a heads up on your nasty employer.

We are in the same boat. I lost my job the other day for being "too quiet." They said that I worked hard and didn't do anything wrong but they wanted someone more out going.How stupid is that? All you can do is pick youself up and try again.Good Luck! Oh and in the mean time try to enjoy your day off. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.

I was falsely accused of sexual harassment and I a female! At the place I worked these guys were making suggestive comments to me and all this... I just ignored them. One guy got mad and turned me in for sexual harassment! Said I was making suggestive remarks and wearing inappropriate clothes and I got written up, and then fired the next week. I talked to my lawyer and they agreed to take it off my record of employment, but wouldn't rehire me. What a load of crap! Tell him to get a lawyer!

I agree is sounds like she is targeting you. Speak to a supervisor or the Human resources department at your work. What applies for one employee applies to all, and if she is saying explicit things even on her break..if it is in the workplace and in earshot of someone who may not find it appropriate, it still counts, break or not. Dont necesarily file a complaint on her unless you have to, or she does or says something extremely inappropriate. you dont want to stoop to her level. But at least make it known to the person you speak to about this matter the entire situation. Iwould explain like you explained in your question on here. It was well put. Or even write it out first on the computer or a peice of paper in case you remember other thigns before you speak to someone. Good luck with you situation. You should not have to put up with that behavior. I can't stand people like that.

Go to their human resources department and explain this to them.  You should be able to find out what the phone number is from their web-site.  First, I would start by writing them an email or a letter about your situation and send it off right away.  He is mentally abusing you.  Tell them that.  If there is any sexual harrassment tell them that as well.  Above all, don't be afraid.  You need to document in writing every day (or shift you work) what was said to you, how you were treated (for instance if any snide remarks were made).  Write the remarks he makes down in a journal or online diary word for word.  The biggest thing you have to do is document EVERYTHING.  If you can't get anywhere with human resource department of Applebee's, then you must seek out an employment attorney and get a consultation immediately.  Go to your local yellow pages and look up attorney referral services, or contact your local state bar association phone number - call them and ask them to refer you to the right kind of lawyer.  Then, go there with your journal - everything documented, and get your consultation.  You might have to pay like $50.  Or, it might be a free consultation.  You need to know your rights.  If he is creating an unpleasant working environment then Applebee's needs to know. If they won't do anything about it, then you might have to sue Applebee's.

Where do you work?  This is not normal behavior report him at once

Yes, you should most certainly report your a** hole boss. He's a creep, and that kind of talk should never be forced into the workforce.

well, i was going to say that the best way to resolve verbal abuse is by taking it up with the abuser's supervisor - in the case of a bank, a call to the HR unit at the corporate office would be a good idea.\n\nhowever if your neice has already been fired, there is not much that you can really do.  according to this link:\nhttp://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/psychosocial/violence.html\nthe law on workplace abuse varies from province to province.   in ontario the law that governs this is Bill 70 2001, which amends the occupational health and safety act:\nhttp://www.ontla.on.ca/documents/Bills/37_Parliament/Session2/b070_e.htm\n\nif this act has been violated, you would need to report it to the ministry of labour in ontario:\nhttp://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/about/reg_offices.html\n\nalso, here are some resources about workplace abuse in canada:\nhttp://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/canada.htm\n\ncheers
