I’m gonna level with you. Do you wanna tell him for him, or for you? What are the chances he finds out on his own, if you’re totally honest with yourself? You mention the guy has a recording but I don’t understand why he’d bother to share that.

I say this because it sounds like he is in a fragile place at the moment. It might be healthier for him for you not to rock the boat. People will say, “he deserves to know”, but that’s mostly ego and fear that they might find themselves in your partners shoes.

But this isn’t something to be taken lightly. Sometimes it is genuinely better for people not to know things. If it’s certain - or even likely- this will get back to him, it’s better to come from you. Otherwise itd be better if he never had to find out.

Me touching him wasn’t the problem, nobody ever mentioned it, he does often comes to me and pokes me with his fingers in my stomach or back. It was no threatening, nobody saw it that way except you who read it wrong. If me grabbing the guy was the problem then I think it might’ve been much worse for me than a warning, I would possibly be fired right away and police would be called on me but it isn’t the case.

The reason of the whole situation was me “refusing” to do what I was told which I never refused to do. Nobody is the main character here, we are all equal and higher positions doesn’t give you right to treat people like shit for your own pleasure.

If you think that it is okay then sure go with it, because you’re no main character and anybody can do anything to you without you getting a chance to say anything against it.

HAHAHAHAHA omg look at the little girl learning that the world isn't fair and she isn't the main character hahahaha

Maybe next time you'll think twice about grabbing someone in a threatening manor.

Despite what society has taught you, that gash in between your legs doesnt give you the right to touch people who don't want to be touched.

Except that I am no longer a newbie in this job. I am a part of the team. I can do both the “senior” assignments and “newbie” assignments. Everyone can do those even those who work tens of years there. Everyone at my job has the same contract and I see that it is true but I am the only one who always says yes to all the assignments and always gets moved midday to a different assignment even though we should have only one position a day.

I politely asked if I could be on a different position which I have been on before but it was a few weeks ago while others were there at least once in a week/two weeks. That is when I got the smile and simple “ok” as if “okay, I don’t care” as a response.

I believe that I am the one that is not being taken seriously even though I can be on almost every position and I am being used.

My fuck up is not my attitude but the fact that I did sign the document that accused me of something I didn’t do. It looked like it but it wasn’t true. It was just the “team leader” who saw it his way and my lack of experience in such situations made me just shut up about how I saw it and just sign it.

This guy isn’t much older than me, it doesn’t mean I don’t respect him because I do.

I always listen to him and I do everything as good as it is possible but sometimes he’s being childish and want you to know that he rules the place. He has the power, he really does but sometimes he uses it not as it was intended but for his own pleasure.

May I also add that maybe you attend an AA meeting and you don't necessarily have to stand up and share anything but simply request that someone that has some time under their belt get with you after the meeting to get their take on your story, I'm not saying you NEED AA but it could probably prove to be a really beneficial experience for you even if you just go the one time to get an outside parties view, best of luck my friend :)

You do seem young.

You're going to get shit assignments, especially if you're lower in seniority, and you're going to get them often.

It's not fair, I guess, but it's generally how things work; I've never been in a work place where that hasn't been true.

Part of how you get better assignments is, yes wait to gain some seniority, but also to just do the work without complaining.

A lot of managers also (rightfully imo) operate under the belief that if a worker can't handle the worst assignments (which still need to be done), then why should they get the best ones?

And sometimes shit just isn't fair. There could be reasons you don't know about as to why you got assigned the crappy job twice in a row, suck it up. If it becomes an ongoing problem for a longer time then you've maybe got an argument for being picked on. As far as I'm concerned, you're being silly right now.

Attitude gets noticed at work, and you often get treated accordingly. Try growing up a little, maybe you'll start seeing a change in how things are for you in the workplace.

Your FU wasn't signing the thing, it was having a shitty attitude.

Lol back in the early 2000s when cell phones weren't a thing, I called my best friend (memorized her number). A woman answered and I said hey gram blah blah is my friends name home? Yep,calls her over, tell her its me and we start talking. Took us 3 minutes to figure out we had no idea who each other was and we both had the names of our respective friends and apparently sounded extremely similar with a similar family set up. We all thought we knew each other. I don't know how that happened or how it took so long to figure out.
