Workplace issues

[Undomiel8]

Hello!

I just had a situation come up at work today and I am not sure what to do. I just started a new job and one of my co-workers was talking about sexual stuff. I left the room because I really did not want to hear about it. To clarify, this guy is leaving for another job in 3 weeks and had been complaining about the job, etc. When I came back, he asked about me and what I like to do. When I told him, he told me to burn in hell! I didn’t respond and just gave him a look.

What is the Catholic thing to do in a situation like this? I was so taken aback that I really didn’t know what to do. It was so bizarre and weird - I have never had to deal with anything like this in any previous jobs.

I would appreciate any (name removed by moderator)ut and advice on what to do in situations like this. God bless!

I would do nothing. I would walk away and remove myself from his company and the situation. Work is work. I don’t do anything to argue or fight with people at work. It’s neither the time nor the place for confontations and acting life fools. Yes, he’s leaving in three weeks, but you’re not, and you’re behavior in a stressful situation will stay there with you. Avoid him, only discuss work with him. He’s not your friend, he’s your co-worker, and one that is on his way out.

GREAT ADVICE!

I deal with this all the time. I was once the other fellow. Now I wonder how I could have been that way? Just goes to show you Satan is real, alive, and ever trying to draw you in. I just look at people like that and say a Hail Mary under breath, then move on. Jesus said to love our neighbor, and pray for them. He never said we had to like, trust, or be friends with them.

When I told him, he told me to burn in hell!

I rest my case!

Hello!

c. When I came back, he asked about me and what I like to do. When I told him, he told me to burn in hell! I!

wow, what did you tell him?!

he is leaving, good riddance.

if it were someone who is staying I would say go to HRD if he is threatening you or making your workplace untenable by sexual harrassment.
