i Got Hugged at Work Today

[cannabineer]

My manager is of an even more strict mindset when it comes to physical contact between employees since the company paid out a nice settlement for a sexual harassment suit about a year ago. Therefore, i was covering his ass imo.

But without ever touching it. cn

Brutal honesty is one thing, gossiping is another.

So you're walking down the strret with a group and see a tree branch that looks unsafe to you. You keep walking and don't mention nothing to nobody?

Remind me not to walk with you.

So then tell your kid whatever, not his or your friends. Some kids haven't had the same experience still doesn't mean you should take an innocent situation to an extreme.

you still deny the topic to try to justify someones wrong doing.

touching someone who you just met, especially at work, is "inappropriate".

gossip is just gossip. girls worry about that kinda shit. words are just words. physical contact is real stuff.

people must talk about you a lot.

Still not the same thing.

You must be really insecure.


You know, this is the time where I jump off the train. No point in this debate anymore, grow up people. Some people like to hug, no need to freak out and get them fired over a hug, man up already.

Some people need to learn that hugging someone you don't know without an invitation can be construed as inappropriate and even sexual assault.

ooooo, I always wanted to be "built". cn

i hear that takes digital dexterity (think fingers). Mine are short and fat.

It's all about the girth

Dexterity is overrated. I come equipped with ten fully pinniped-rated switchblades built right in. cn

lol hard. You might have to pet me first. cn

i'm insecure when you're the one worried about gossip?

lol

it's called respect. obviously you have none for others.

Hah alright I didn't want to name drop but it fits well here.

we will leave the stuffing up to carne

And in my experience, most often when one has no respect for others, they don't respect themselves.

Not saying this is the case here but it has rang true through the years.

See, anyone invading my personal space will get a negative reaction. i didn't raise my fists and tbh didn't even THINK about clinching them until i turned away and realized they were.

In the end, ANYONE comes up on me and i'm gonna prepare for battle. Did it again tonight when a dude asked me for a jump start in the local gas station. He just didn't come off right and even the two clerks urged me to not go outside with him.

i gave him the benefit of the doubt, but only because i was armed.

Fair enough, given your background I wouldn't hold it against you for such a reaction.

Being cautious is, imo, responsible. Especially in the world we live in today. Again, I don't hold you at fault for it.

I also agree with your reasoning, being unarmed would be risky, had you not known anything about the person or situation at hand.

work is where you go to WORK.

it's not a social event, and it's not a therapy session.

do your job. respect your coworkers. and leave your personal issues at the door.

be "professional".

it's why they call it "work".

This seems entirely robotic to me, exactly what makes work, work. I've been in a work environment that seems fun as well as professional. Imo, that setting makes it more beneficial to me and my coworkers and less hostile to everyone else. You can remain professional without resorting to the dickish, robotic attitude the corporate world requires. Even if your job is in the corporate world.

Regardless, violence is not the way to solve it.

i'm gonna go grab on some hotties tomorrow. then make myself out to be a victim of my own personality. it should go well.

Good luck. Not sure if that'll look good on your existing charges..

 

[RyanTheRhino]

I respect others more the i respect myself..

so, what does that mean

Ex ) I will never ask some one to do something for me that I can't do by myself.

But I have no problem with people doing things I would not consider doing at all.


not sure if that makes sense

You should do some introspection. You can't respect anyone if you don't respect yourself.

you can "have fun at work" without having to grope your coworkers.

the dude approached the OP while he was outside on his break, alone, and attempted to cheer him up with a hug. "oh, are you sad? here, let me hold you." sounds rather inappropriate to me.

i'm a welder by trade. i see no reason to hug any of my coworkers. we have fun all day at work, while we work. nothing robotic about it.

Says who... It's more that I care about others over myself.

or since I respect others I respect myself more the i give credit

See, i function VERY well in a "robotic" work environment. i am a Surveyor by trade. Math, science, hard skills. When you're repeating the same task all day long "robotic" pays dividends. When i was running the crew, we had HELLA fun. Played pranks, joked, teased, gambled a little, drank a beer or two with lunch, etc. Only once did one guy touch another without it being work related. Dude got a reactionary elbow to the face lol. And i wasn't the one to give it.
