Nov 20, 2019 at 12:33 comment added Donald I totally agree with your answer, and while I recognize I will never be in a situation described by the author, I can also recognized a situation that might have been totally innocent. While I personally would make a statement like that within the workplace, coworkers sometimes turn into friends, it’s sometimes easy to forget your at work.
Nov 20, 2019 at 11:57 comment added G_B @Donald Yeah, I'm not suggesting using either of those words to the supervisor. People tend to get defensive when told their behaviour is inappropriate - even when it is - hence my suggestion to frame it in a way that focusses on consequences instead.
Nov 20, 2019 at 11:06 comment added Donald There is sometimes a thin line between what’s considered unprofessional and inappropriate. The author might have difficulty with providing a clear statement, when trying to explain their offensive, to a statement about individual outside of the office. Is it worth talking to the supervisor, absolutely, but I would avoid giving it a specific label. Unless there are other examples of this inappropriate behavior.
Nov 19, 2019 at 22:47 comment added G_B @TheCooocy I meant the "hot girl" conversation, but it definitely also applies to some of the responses/comments here.
Nov 19, 2019 at 11:50 comment added TheCooocy I assume you mean the conversations under this post. Yes, I actually expected that, I know this culture. Although I disagree with many comments or answers here they help me getting an impression of all possible reactions of Bob/ my colleagues. :)
Nov 18, 2019 at 23:19 comment added G_B @TheCooocy FWIW, this kind of conversation would be considered highly unprofessional in my workplace, and I'm disappointed that some of the comments here have drifted into outright gaslighting.
Nov 17, 2019 at 22:10 comment added TheCooocy Thank you for your understanding and your suggestion, it is helpful. Phrasing my concern as a question could be a strategy. Also thank you for giving clarifying comments to other users, especially the part "calling a professional woman as "girls"" is making another important point.
