Some co-workers may genuinely not understand how this kind of language affects others and think that it’s being friendly. Bring a member of the HR team or your manager with you if you are uncomfortable speaking to that individual alone or if it has escalated to an unsafe situation. If you feel comfortable speaking to that individual one-on-one, address and correct the situation. So what should you do if someone calls you “stud” or “honey” at work? It undermines your professionalism and you as an employee. Terms of endearment are demeaning and, whether intended or not, allude to putting someone in their place. Those types of words make people feel uncomfortable and disrespected. It is sexual harassment, plain and simple, and any such expressions are inappropriate. Terms of “endearment” should not be used in the workplace and here’s why: I personally chose to intervene, at that very moment, with a calm but assertive explanation of why what was said was grossly inappropriate. At that instant, I had two choices: address it right then, or let it go and not speak up for myself. I paused for a second, shocked, and thought to myself, “Did that really just happen?” The fact was that it did. Oh, I almost forgot, we just helped her parents move back to her mamas hometown a couple weeks ago.2 miles down the road.I remember the first time a co-worker called me “sweetie” at work. Today was our 7th V day together and we are just over a year into being parents to our lil dude, it has been good, real good! (she puts up with my wood heat obsession and my hours on FHC so what not to like?!) Bottom line is you think you meet someone that lives over an hour away you should be safe from all the small town co-inky-dinks.ah, no. I know there are others that I am forgetting right now. What is really crazy is that she had never met him.but I had known him for years! Her 3rd cousin is married to my Xs niece. The same former BIL worked for her dad many years ago too.ģ. My former BIL was married to her aunt many years agoĢ. I had set the distance to 50 mile had been a month or so, I widened the search one day just to see.she popped up at 51 miles away.she saw that I checked out her profile and sent me a message after she saw where I was from.her moms hometown! We talked for a while and then met in person at her uncles house who it turns out, was kinda my bosses boss at the time, and he is X po po, I found out later that he had me checked out before we met! We had so many weird things that we have found out about each along the way.ġ. When you get the right one life is goodĬ. if you ask for a divorce you have to wait same 20 then I will be to old to care. We'll 5 weeks later she said My dogs are living here so can I. would not get in car! So she said I will come get them tomorrow. When wife came to get dogs week later, the dogs that went everywhere with her. he thought this was so much better than the Condo. I decided to "date " the dog, made bacon grilled steaks took dogs for walk. Called me up asked me if I would watch dogs for a week. Wife uncle (dad brother) passed and she had to go to orange Co NY for funeral and arrangements. I knew from experience she trusted her big male dog more than any man. so her 3 year old daughter, 2 sibling dogs, lab retrievers. She one she just couldn't end, with an addict, well one day she had enough and moved in with her mom. So I would come fix a toilet, unclog a sink. Wifes mother (widowed when wife was 3 never re- married) But she lived in Vermont and fixing things were not her strength. OK in my youth I had a chip on my shoulder and my fair share of arrogance. Her little sister dated a good friend for 5 years so we kept seeing each other. OK, my wife and I met in 1994, she was beautiful then (and still is ) but she wouldn't date me.
