I would like to ask for advice regarding my girlfriends problem in her workplace. I am a soldier in the Philippine Army and have a completely different view of things specially when dealing with conflict due to my nature of being combat oriented so I guess you could guide me in dealing with my girlfriend’s problem in a reasonable manner accepted to civilians and the law.

She started training in a call center. The first problem is about a senior (gay) who a couple of times treated her in a way I could say degrading like making her read a call script repeatedly in front of everyone while the senior does not listen so he make her repeat again which is very annoying. There was also a time when due to an incident in the calls the senior said in front of the training class “dumb arrogant” which although he did not mentioned the name the whole training class knows its directed to my girlfriend. I do not think that was right.

The second problem was about this man i think in his late 20s which initially was annoying according to my girlfriend because the way this guy stares to her make her feel uncomfortable. Another thing was the guy moves close to her like sitting in the front row just in front of her. Then lately there was a warning from classmate of her in the training session to stay away from the guy. The young man was not telling what he know but he persistently warned my girlfriend to stay away from the annoying guy.

Personally I really wanted to confront those people but I am sure it will end up in pure physical. Is there a complaint that we can file to protect my girlfriend?

Thanks,

Souske

The trend in the west is a little hard to swallow given our conservative society

There is also another phenomenon of spouse swap. This is done during vacation and continue until any of the party decline.

what do u think?

nice… keep it up…

these kind of people can harm not only the reputation of the boss, but specially the family.
They may even earn a fortune for this.

this is why it’s really important for the bosses to consider all consequences before playing with fire.

But I like to add. There are some cases wherein the boss professionally separates work and personal relationships with their subordinates, but the subordinate is him/herself a “manggagamit ng tao”, can I use the word biatch? But because of their boss-subordinate relationship “inside” the office or during work, she is qualified to file a case against his/her boss, the first case a corporate office will honor is sexual harassment.

It’s really unfair the way I see it, and I think that’s one reason why everyone who’s into it are keeping quiet. Moreover, it’s taboo to talk about it in our society.

my thoughts.

That is the reason why I blog about these things as part of my advocacy. To avoid too much exposure and the stigma or scandal, most Pinays would rather keep quiet. But I think if they will just stand up ands stood their ground, abusive bosses will learn their lesson.

On the contrary it’s quite a common practice in europe. Consenting adults dont talk about it, they just do.
