I know this is probably fake, but, I’ve heard way too many horror stories about hr like this.
HR is there to protect the company from you. When you’re being harassed at work, during work hours, talking to HR is basically saying “I know I can turn this into a legal thing, but I’ll give you a chance to correct it before I do that”.
If HR laughs at you about a complaint, your next steps are to collect evidence and hire a lawyer.
Sue the shit out of them.
Get the evidence before going to HR because there’s more than a small chance they are going to laugh while escorting you out if the building.
Presuming it wasn’t creative fiction, document and enjoy the huge pile of money from the lawsuit.
And then get laughed at by your lawyer, the judge, and the jury.
Stay poor, doomer, anon’s got some HR hoes to farm for a slam dunk sexual discrimination and hostile work environment case.
Plus, as a bonus, people will listen to him because he’s a man.
Historically, this is one of those things that gets ignored when men come forward, but if he can prove it now, it’s an easy case.
sexual discrimination
Sexism?
no, sexual discrimination is illegal, sexism is not.
That only happens in your imagination. Court is definitely not as sexist.
And if they are, you can sue them as well for even more money!
US courts are absolutely sexist. They are so damn sexist that the sexual disparity in sentences completely nullifies the racist disparity. I’m not joking either. It is well known that all things being equal, a black woman will get an average of 60% of the sentence a white man will get for the same crime. Meanwhile a white woman will get, on average, a sentence that is roughly 60-70% of what the black woman gets, and the white man may get a mere 50% of the punishment a black man gets.
Court is both racist and sexist, and in the US they won’t allow you to sue them. The sexism and racism only gets more pronounced in civil court and family court.
Good luck in today’s ultra conservative Supreme Court.
Why do you assume I’m American?
As far as I know, the only American is me.
What do you know, you really are American.
How fucking big did this dudes arms get in one year? I’m calling bullshit.
If this is actually real I would suggest using interpersonal relationship skills and ask these hordes of women to stop touching your biceps yourself. Given that anon is a green texter, he may be lacking in this department.
Lol I’m not saying this is definitely real, but it’s completely plausible that an otherwise socially competent person freezes up when someone grabs them wantonly and unwantedly. And I fully believe that someone who would do that in the first place would also not stop when they’re told no.
You’re both skipping over consent; if the genders were reversed, would you consider it normal for men to touch women however they want until they’re told to stop?
I responded to the person above me implying that OP should end the grabbing with interpersonal skills alone. Obviously no one should be grabbed without consent in the first place.
Pretty victim blamey, NGL. Norms should be in place to ask for consent (tacit or explicit) before touching someone else
Yes and we should also require chaperones on dates as well. No sex out of wedlock either.
Dude got his bicep grabbed and went to HR instead of telling the person. This is beyond stupid.
You’re assuming that they didn’t tell that person to not touch them. They didn’t mention it, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
There’s not enough information from the OP to have reasonable knowledge of the events to say either way.
You used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
Should a woman “just tell everyone she doesn’t like it” if random people start grabbing her?
First of all, unless this dude works at a strip club, I very highly doubt random coworkers are coming up and grabbing his biceps.
I would buy this story more if it was a single female who continued to do this, but this just doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if a woman’s biceps were being grabbed by a man, I’d have no idea what the fuck was going on.
This story is fake as shit and ya’ll are treating it like it’s a case study.
No, we just treat it at face value, knowing little of the real situation.
And reality is, men ARE abused and harrassed by women, and it’s much harder for them to speak out about it. Which makes it even more important not to distrust these stories straight from the start - they get their dose of distrust and victimblaming everywhere else.
Okay buddy. Time to go have your afternoon tea and have a nap.
It is on 4chan, so there’s an approximately 99% chance it’s completely made up, and the poster can barely lift his keyboard.
This really depends. I have seen people go from meh muscle build to pretty damn jacked after a year of hard work, and as much gear as they could find.
The story says more about the offenders than OP’s actual body. That question has “but what was she wearing” vibes.
Bro fuck you for that fly
I’m actually glad the company I work for not only takes sexual harassment seriously, but they actually use primarily examples of female perpetrators and male victims to emphasize the point that it can happen to anyone.
Why would you brag to HR of all people?
Because HR exists to avoid the company getting sued, and OP could potentially sue. If this was real.
You missed the joke
Well, it was a bad joke
Fuck the joke.
So edgy
Did he want men to grab his biceps? Or just no touchy? If they grab my biceps without permission then I grab their tits it equals out!
I read it as he wanted the opportunity to consent
HR not gonna like the tittygrab HR is usually feminist
I like being grabbed by females no matter how fat or aggressive as long as they aren’t married so I’m not too worried. I’m just playing devil’s advocate
“females” 🤢
