LOL my last job I was told I was difficult to work with because I asked a superior to stop touching me. Literally, to not physically touch me. I quit that place. It was my word against his and guess who our male manager believed?

I'm "hard to work with"... okay.

Having boundaries = hard to work with. They sound like a lovely duo. Sorry that you had to deal with that shit.

Holy shit, that's so awful. I'm so sorry your boss and that customer were such assholes.

OMG. That is gross. Too hard to work with = Not allowing someone to touch you? It just makes zero sense.

Right before I quit a shitty retail job, I was told that I was "abrasive." This same person is a retired math teacher and told his students that women just weren't good at math. So, you know.

WOW. I'm sorry.

No worries. I gave 2 weeks but was like “fuck it, I don’t want to work here at all.” It was a Friday night, I was scheduled to work, and we were paid that day. I walked in, picked up my check and left. Like I said, it was a shitty retail job and I was leaving to go to a well paying job that I stayed at for 10 years.

That's so fucking gross, I'm sorry :( one of the managers at my old job was really touchy and while I didn't think he meant it in a skeezy way (altho who knows), I always wanted to tell him to stop but I knew everyone in the whole building would turn on me if I said something because he was everyone's favorite manager

People in positions of power who do this kind of shit are so disgusting to me.. I mean anyone in general but if they're in the position of power I feel like they think nothing will happen.. and unfortunately a lot of the time, nothing happens

I hope you had a job lined up/found one after, fuck that shit I'm glad you left.

I didn't. But I also complained to upper management twice about a coworker who sexually harassed customers and coworkers. And since the coworkers wouldn't say anything (they wanted to be liked) - it just looked like I was trying to stir up trouble... god forbid I want to stop harassment.
