Attention at work?

Time: During the day
Date: Tuesday 8 March
Place: Work
Outfit: Knee length black dress, flat shoes, purple cardigan


It's particularly uncomfortable to get unwanted male attention at work, especially when it's from men who are more senior than you. One of us has had a couple of experiences this week:


I got wacked on the arm ‘playfully’ by someone who’s been very ‘converstational‘ with me/ following me round the office and taking every single opportunity to talk to me. I once had a kit kat on my desk, he came over and said, “I see you’re eating kit kats. That’s good.” He’s in a position of authority and knows I need his help/ guidance.


I got squeezed on my upper arm by a colleague who tried to make me jump by standing behind me… odd behaviour.

I don't think they realise how they are making me feel, but surely it should be obvious that these kinds of things are a bit inappropriate in the office?
