writes:Me and my boss at work have always got along and to be honest there is no real boss/employee boundaries between us I can say what i want to him and we have a joke etc. Recently though his comments towards me have become really personal as in he will imply i want to have sexual relations with other people at work, also hes always joked that i am an alcoholic because i go out every saturday night and leave early to do so (he lets me do this) but now hes saying it to everyone which is bad for my reputation.Another point is he keeps saying 'you should have being sacked by now', 'you wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for me' and 'i could have sacked you four times now but i haven't' these comments stem from my lateness which is bad but in all fairness i'm only late because he lets me get away with it.yet another thing is he won't let me do anyhting different in my job or take more responisbility which is confusing when he lets me go early/arrive late and in all fairness underperform without saying a word (he'll tell me to leave work for the person who is in the next day) . Shouldn't boss' be the other way around :sand finally i've practically become his agony aunt he tells me how much he hates his job and hours he works but now hes talking about he and his wife arguing all the time at home which to be honest i don't know what to say to that, in all fairness i am not a sympathetic person and he recieves none when he talks about it, but he still goes on.whats going on here?

reader, anonymous, writes (26 February 2011): This is workplace harassment verging on sexual harassment, you need to speak to a higher authority asap before this gets out of control. No a boss shouldnt treat you this way, he shouldnt speak on a personal level to you especially about your life out of work and never should he put you down in front of others. If you are enjoying your job then fight this one, if you give in or change jobs he may do it to someone else, you need to stand up for what rights you have as an employee and no employee should be treated this way, whether you are late or not. Stand up, be strong get some back up and face this situation, its wrong. Hope this helps
