work harrasment

[pjsicon]

Harrasment by a senior vp to me about young children and my grandchildren. I have spoken to him and human resources, but I do not feel safe at work. I
feel uneasy with this and him still here. It was suggested to me to find
another position within or out of the company. This has occurred for 6 to 7
years. This has happened to me in front of other employees. I feel my character and respect have been damaged. What can I do?

What kind of harassment. It cannot be just bad management skills.

What has he done?

He has joked about how I mess around with younger children. When ever we have had bring your child to work he asks, jokingly with others to keep an eye on me, not to let me out of my office. He has made reference to me and the times I take breaks and go out that it corresponds to the school bus dropping kids off. He has openely suggessted at staff meetings that he has a new job for me, playground attendant. He recently made a reference to me about my grand children and the only reason I married my current wife is because of the children. I took him to human resources for this. He said he was sorry, but I see him on a daily basis and it just gets me!!!! I am 61 soon to be 62 and I can't leave here and find another job. I can retire after next year but I feel my reputation has been hurt here. What can I do?

Thanks,

If it happens again and HR does not take action you could tell them you will file the Dept of Labor.

That alone should normally cause them to resolve this asap.

If I were you I wouldnt wait until it happens again. You should go to HR right away. Start to keep a diary and document everytime he says something to you. Dates, times, witnesses and exactly what he says. follow up you visit to HR with a written confirmation of what was discussed and the outcomes. Do it by email so that it is date and time stamped and you can track receipt of the document.
