Today, I went to my company's HR manager to ask what the procedure was to file a sexual harassment complaint since my boss exposed himself to me. His response was that the procedure is to "get over it." And he went back to reading. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my coworker touched me inappropriately. I reported it to HR, and all they said was, "Do you want to talk to a therapist?" FML
Today, after having finally summoned the nerve to report a guy at my workplace who has been sexually harassing me for months, I got a phone call from my boss. He said that there was nothing he could do about it, because the guy "wouldn't confess." FML
Today, I told the man I've been in love with for 3 years, who also happens to be my boss, how I felt. He responds by filing sexual harassment charges against me. FML
Today, a coworker grabbed my ass for the third time. I went to my boss to complain about the sexual harassment. He told me to suck it up and enjoy the attention, and that it was my fault for having a huge, round ass. I think it's time for a new job. FML
Today, I tried to call my company's HR to report my boss for sexually inappropriate comments towards me. Turns out, the only person I can complain to is the franchise owner, who has been good friends with my boss for over a decade. FML
Today, HR informed me that they would not be investigating my formal complaint against my boss. This after four months of relentless bullying, including calling me while I was on vacation to tell me to do work, and eliminating my position when she found out I had gone to HR. FML
Today, I had to give a sexual harassment seminar to my department. Someone put in a complaint that my example made them feel uncomfortable. FML
Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML
Today, yet again, my boss whined to me like a baby over being "friend-zoned" by his secretary. Not only does he basically stalk her and make her eat lunch with him every day, she's a lesbian in a committed relationship. He suspended me after I lost it and told him to see a fucking therapist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't know anything about Australian law, but I suspect it's illegal for him to ignore your concerns like that. Talk to a lawyer--at very least, the company should transfer you to another department so you don't have to work with your current boss, if not fire him.

The heart of the issue is that she was shown something that she didn't want to see in the first place. Sexual Harassment isn't a "suck it up and get over it." Once you see something like that u can't unsee it. Seek legal help and charges filed against him. Apologize for that having to happen.

You're right. Women "expose" themselves all the time. But men expose themselves all the time. I'm glad you've proved yourself aware of the fact that quotation marks in contexts like this indicate sarcasm or exaggeration. What the hell are you chauvinist morons talking about? I've never had any female coworkers flash me their nipples or their ******. If you have, I'd like to know where it is you work. Of course, more likely, the quotation marks me you're talking about them wearing low-cut blouses, in which case any attempt at drawing equivalence between that and waving your **** at a woman working under you is astonishingly idiotic. You give men a bad name.

Almost every response here sickens me, and I'm a man. Filing charges for sexual harassment after such an incident is not "being a drama queen." Women wearing low-cut shirts is not equivalent to public exposure. #78 is just ******* retarded. Go to the police.

Talk to your corporate office. Take the bastards down. That was a terrible way for the HR manager to handle the situation. And for all you assholes saying YDI because women expose themselves, way to generalize the entire sex. There is a huge difference between showing cleavage, and showing dong.

Don't get a lawyer, go to the EEOC. They love to ass-rape companies that do things like this.

You should have immediately followed up by asking what te procedure is for filing a complaint against an HR manager for being an a**hole and not doing his job.
