What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
Three months ago a coworker harassed me. I emailed a peer for advice and I decided not to report it nor tell my managers (asked the peer to keep quiet also). He never said anything else inappropriate to me and we built a professional relationship working together. Now, I find out that he was just written up for inappropriate behavior with our vendor and he has "one more chance to mess up". The peer that I told about the incident told my manager about his comments to me (3 months later). So my manager decides he wants to talk to me about the incident and I told my manager several times I was ok and didnt want to proceed in getting him into trouble, my manager begins to bully me into telling him that im not really ok and that I am hurting and "JUST ADMIT IT, YOU ARE HURTING". He was basically treating me like a rape victim and I then began to feel more uncomfortable with my manager than the actual incident!! I feel that he is making my incident something bigger because he wants a reason to fire the guy. So HR is now involved and I told HR that I am ok and I don't want to get him into trouble. Just make him take a sexual harassment class and "LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!" I told her that I don't appreciate my manager trying to push me to say "im not ok or I feel threatened" So now, my manager calls me up basically saying "I have a feeling that you are not happy here...I just get this big suspicion.." He is going back and forth with me about it and he is fishing for answers and wanting to know what I told HR about what the harassment topic and what I them. Basically he wanted to know if I told HR that I wasn't ok like he WANTED ME to do, but I didn't. A coworker emailed me and told me that my manager came to her desk early that morning asking her "What is wrong with me and that I talk to her more than him". I am beginning to feel uncomfortable and harassed by my manager. For some reason he wants me to be friends with him and wonders why "I like the people from the other department more than him...". Every time he sees me talking to others he gets this creepy look on his face and will say something very condescending to me. Am I annoyed or being harassed?Please help. Sorry so long!
