i Got Hugged at Work Today

april said:

As always, well said
I'm sorry but humiliating and gossiping about a person on their first day shows ur true colours, If I was him my ass would be in HR promptly upon my arrival asking wtf is up with the other guy, ya try and get someone fired because he was trying to be a nice person on his first day... just wow.

I wonder what the real issue was.... just saying, seems like this poor guy had no chance, really why even tell the manager ??? Guess some people assume their "opinion" is needed, hmmm makes ya wonder what the hugger thinks of OP

While it might have been a little awkward your reaction seemed a bit over the top imo

If it happens again just take a step back and let him know it makes you uncomfortable

After that if it keeps happening, that's when extra steps should be taken to dissolve the situation, but you shouldn't posture up or act aggressive either way, that's definitely not the right way to handle it

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.

That depends on who seen it, the doesn't know he embarrassed himself of nobody first pointed it out. That along with how people's brains work differently, you never know how something like this could've affected him.

Bah, you edited it didn't you lol?

Or maybe I'm more drunk than I think, just saw "of my own personality". Either way, I've hugged girls at work before, never the first to approach it but still, I don't think girls would care about a hug unless the conversation was that creepy in the first place but as Bud said, it was just random and not really sexual, maybe the guy just has anxiety about what people think of him, some people are just weird but in a different sense.

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".

So then tell that person ONCE and then walk away, don't make it into a big deal.

Yep. Could've used "gumption", "honesty", "fortitude", etc as synonyms i guess.

IMO, the world needs some brutal honesty.

i provide my share.

my kid needs to be told what to do, simply because he is a kid and hasn't learned yet. an ADULT should already know better.

Sure. Just like when i pulled a guy over for rolling through a stop sign and he blacked out and ran. i chased and he ducked into a field to hide. When i pulled in right behind him he surrendered peacefully. He had no license, wasn't a legal citizen, had just been left by his wife, was drinking (not drunk), and chose to run when i turned on my lights.

i let him walk to his brother's house about 2 miles away and towed/stored his vehicle. This happened about 1am. At about 5:30am we get a call of a suicide, at the brother's house. It was the dude i stopped and let go.

MY fault? No.
