A Guy Helped Her Get A New Job And Then Expected Her To Do Something For Him In Return
If you’re a woman in any workplace, you’ve probably experienced some sort of workplace harassment.
I know this sounds awful, but it happened to almost every female friend that I have, myself included.
My personal experience actually happened at a part-time job I had during college. One of the male workers actually had a list of the female workers that he wanted to sleep with.
He would also “accidentally” bump into the female workers and touch their bodies. It was such a light touch that we couldn’t prove that he was actually doing it.
He ended up getting fired for unrelated reasons, but it was a relief when we no longer had to work with him.
I have also been very lucky, that was my only experience with workplace harassment.
Others haven’t been so fortunate. One Reddit poster shared a screenshot of her thanking her male friend for the recommendation for the job just got.
You would think that it would be as simple as thanking him and him saying you’re welcome. Nope.
“Great news! I got the job and I’m starting training next week! Thank you so much for all your help!” she wrote.

His response was a little out of pocket. “Netflix and chill to celebrate?” For those that don’t know what ‘Netflix and chill’ means, it is where people watch Netflix, and the activities change from the TV, to the bedroom; essentially a hook-up.
If they were more than friends this response might seem normal for their interactions. Her next response obviously doesn’t lead me to believe that they are anything more than friends.
“No! WTF?” He goes on to ask why not.
She has a boyfriend so obviously she wouldn’t even entertain the idea.
“So? I’ve known you for way longer and…you kind of owe me,” he replies.
Who in their right mind would help someone get a job and claim that she owes him favors while she is in a committed relationship with another guy?
“I’m just saying you never would’ve gotten the job without me putting in a good word for you I figure this is the least you can do to say thank you for everything I’ve done for you,” he continued.
“Other guys have had you on your knees for nothing but I get ghosted after everything I’ve done for you, really?”
“This can be the dream job you’ve always wanted or I can make it a living hell. It’s up to you.”
This, to me, sounds like a threat and should be taken to the HR department. And many commentators suggested the same thing.
Many said that she should create a paper trail while emailing HR, his supervisor, and anyone else that would need to be notified for harassment.
If this was you what would you have done?
