My boss at my new job is always trying to be alone with me during work hours. Sometimes they even suggest meeting outside of work, but I find this situation very uncomfortable. I feel like I have to emphasize this over and over again, but how can I get out of this situation? Do you think this is normal?
I experienced something similar. After work, he constantly wanted to talk in the parking lot, and at first, I thought it was about his job, but it turned out it wasn’t. I directly said no; I think it’s clearly a rejection.
How many times has he offered in this way? Does he do it when no one is around, or does he show it in front of everyone too?
@kahvebitmeden generally only speaks to me in the work environment, and doesn’t open up much around others. The offer has come 3-4 times but yesterday made me feel particularly uncomfortable.
So if it’s been this clear 3 times, why are you still writing like you don’t understand? You’re uncomfortable, and there’s obviously a problem here, so what are you waiting for?
Personal boundaries should not be violated in terms of workplace psychology. If such situations are escalated to a higher management or human resources, they might be more effective. By preferring written communication, you can also keep this as evidence.
no way, are we seriously meeting outside?
If we even say ‘is it a possibility’ about this, it means a lot has changed in the business world.
Record the conversations. If necessary, go directly to human resources, but if possible, try not to leave them alone.
