General Chat

As he comes from Romania and is basically a nice chap, his manager should tactfully take him to one side and explain that this sort of behaviour is not acceptable in this country. It's probably perfectly acceptable where he comes from and he just needs to have it is explained to him calmly and politely that customs are different here. No doubt that will be the end of the matter.

Me I would slap him round the mouth but then he will complain to the manager/police.

Get all the women together and tell him how you ALL feel and tell him if he does it once more to anyone.you will take it to the Police for assault.


Now this might seem a bit strong but he could be known to the EU/British Police
for assaulting women.


Personally I would /couldn't work with a person like him around.

It appears to be an over friendly personality trait rather than being done in a Pervy way... who knows!, just wondering if any women mind being touched while being spoken to by male colleagues or indeed female colleagues.

Have you tried slapping him ?

Opinions much appreciated please,

We have a male staff member who has recently started working at our workplace who seems to be a bit too touchy feely for my liking, we are predominantly staffed by females and it has been noticed by a few of us that he tends to touch the person who he is talking to either on the arm, hand, waist, shoulders, I know that one of the female staff took him aside and asked him not to do this, he apologised and even said that he had been told about this in his previous job, while he no longer touches her, he has still continued to touch others, he is from Romania and has been in the Uk for 10 years, he is a pleasant hard working guy who continues to be touchy despite being told that he's touching is inappropriate, either that or we are a bunch of cold untactile women. Im wondering if I should take him aside and tell him that several members of staff have said that they are uncomfortable with it or if I should just speak for myself? The manager ( female) said that individuals should each tell him how they feel.
