    This is absolute gold.
  • I knew that they had been flirting and carrying on a while back as a couple of the guys mentioned it was a bit cringe worthy to watch it all.

    Maybe she has rejected his advances or something and he!!!8217;s taken it personal. What a @&!#

    Okay this is not at all what was first presented...

    A good lesson in not giving advice before you have all the facts. Imagine if undercoverirish had sacked her, as several people suggested.

    Im really hoping this isn't a complete troll post, but still, as I said its kept me entertained :)
  • This is probably my worst nightmare.
  • No it’s definitley not a troll post. This is actually unfolding right before me now

    Have you been back onto HR to update them?
  • No not yet. I!!!8217;ll have to give them a call I think as I haven!!!8217;t had a response yet
  • I think it!!!8217;s fair to say that we were most definitely in the wrong with this. I realise that now and I should definitely have dug a bit deeper.

    I didn!!!8217;t bother having a conversation with the girl, just sent her a warning over email to cease it

    Hand it to a professional to deal with. You can't directly apologise because that will be an admission of your discriminatory behaviour, but you know you need to take steps to put it right. That's where HR need to take over.

    I've been the woman in this situation. I was sacked, but eventually negotiated a compromise agreement and a payout. It was 15+ years ago but I still remember it. Don't underestimate the impact this kind of thing can have on people.
