BreakOnThrough Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Why would a female co-worker tell a male co-worker that she felt uncomfortable because another male co-worker looks at her chest a lot? Do you think she expects him to mention it to the other male?
pteromom Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 No, I would think she is comfortable on a friendship level with the guy she told. Either that, or she's the type of person who overshares everything.
PinkSapphire Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 She is venting, as she would to another woman, likely because she feels comfortable with and trusts you. Now, if you were to stand up for her and mention it somehow to the other guy, that would be the nice thing to do. I know when I mention stuff like this to my male coworker, the issue magically disappears and we don't have to involve HR or any uncomfortable scenarios It's really nice bc dudes are able to say stuff to each other without it being weird, whereas if she tried to say anything it could escalate and get really awkward really fast. So, no she likely does not expect anything other than the emotional support of being able to vent and get it out there, BUT it would be a nice bonus if you told said dude to cool it because she knows he's doing it and it makes her uncomfortable. In whatever dude language would yield the best results
