A colleague has just been promoted in my workplace and although he seems to be a tits-loving, 100% hetrosexual, man's man on the surface, I'm a bit concerned as to which team he really bats for!!
Not that I have anything against my bottom-bumping buddies, but he has been making comments which have left me feeling decidely uncomfortable and questioning his true intentions.
wned:
Also, he always comes to work in a tight-fitting white/cream one-piece that shows off his 'assets' (or lack of them) - and if he is required to attend a meeting - white trousers, white shoes with matching socks and a pink or yellow vest.
He often can be heard making crude and sexually suggestive remarks and, worst of all, insists on playing - at very high volume - the Greatest Hits of The Village People, Elton John and Will Young on his Walkman throughout the day!!
Strange thing is that since he's been promoted, there has been a constant stream of woman joining our work place.So is it really true that women feel more comfortable socialising with gay men, and should I be concerned about my colleague's 'habits'?
Dear friend Hlebster,
Unfortunately this is becoming a more common problem in the workplace and I almost daily hear a similar tale.
It is one of the downfalls of mixing the minoritys with the masses you see. Where as I am all for equality, the intergration of these sorts should not be to the detriment of others. I have a sneaky suspicion that your newly promoted colleague is of Irish descent and a regular visitor to pornangraphic sites. How do I know this? Only a couple of weeks ago I met someone very similar at a gathering in London. Lord, who knows it may even be the same person!
In terms of advice I can only suggest you watch your own back......quite literally. When the lowly receive some form of power they often look to abuse this and I wouldn't be suprised if he is eyeing you up right now and thinking about stabbing you in your backdo.......back!
I suggest you speak to your boss and try to make him aware of this confused individual. Both Will Young and tight lycra are commonly outlawed in the workplace and if necessary this should be raised with your Health & Safety advisor. If your company does not have one of these I can recommend a independent, firm but fair advisor, Mr Wayno Gooner. He will know how to deal with this troublesome little upstart.
For any further advice you can call my advice line on 08980 4848483. Calls cost £3 a minute off peak but this may vary depending on your network provider.
Until this is resolved I suggest you wrap up another fat one and have a smoke.
Until next time.........chin chin!
Next!
