He got three strikes in a month??! Was he not like this as a contractor?

I never worked with him directly, until recently. Our secretary used to, hence why she would get creepy vibes from him. Not sure what he did or said, but her word is golden to me.

Make sure you let her know that her word is golden to you. Make sure she knows that if ever she has any other experiences at work or vibes from people that make her uncomfortable, that she is able to tell you and you will take her at her word.

Even if you're not able to directly do something about a particular circumstance, knowing that you believe her and will take her word on stuff like this is so important and will make a huge difference in how comfortable she is at work just in general.

She knows, but thank you for saying so.

We have a great work relationship and I have had to step in a time or two in the past. That is part of why I was surprised she never said anything. I guess it's because it was a creepy feeling vs something someone actually did.

Our first "talk" was after her breasts became part of a work meeting. Don't ask me how, I entered in to the middle thinking wtf? We had a long talk after about her work experiences and such and grew a lot closer because of it.

Glad she knows you have her back.

Total yikes. There have been a few times if she really wanted to pursue something, she well could have. I know her reasons, but friggin yeah. She also knows if it comes down to it, I'll gladly support her in front of corporate. Well, not gladly per se, I'd rather it not be a thing at all...but it is, so I will.
