There is a male coworker who constantly makes unwanted advances and flirtatious comments towards me. He keeps trying to get me to go to lunch with him, despite me turning him down politely numerous times. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable and want to avoid any one-on-one situations with him. What is the best way for me to firmly shut down his advances without creating an awkward workplace environment?

I think you should once directly have a conversation with him and tell him not to do this again as its becoming uncomfortable for you. If he still doesnt listen to you ,then you should take further steps. As these small things can lead to much bigger issues in the future

If you have told him no to do it and he is doing it again, you must complain to higher authorities

I Would say whatsoever may happen just go and confront him about it, tell him how you feel uncomfortable. If he still continues then you can report it to your HR or some senior.

hey. I recently joined a new job and I've already got a situation to deal with. A male colleague keeps hitting on me, and wants to hangout during lunch, how do I avoid him??
Anonymous9d
Make it clear that you are not interested in a romantic or sexual relationship with your colleague. You can say something like, "I value our professional relationship and would like to keep it that way."

Politely decline his invitation by saying something like, "Thank you for the invitation, but I prefer to have lunch on my own today."

I think my boss has a crush on me. He has become extremely sweet towards me, more than he is towards anybody else. But my colleagues told me the otherwise that he hates the way In work. Whom should I believe??
Anonymous9d
Maybe he just likes you because you are a good employee, not because he has a crush on you

Feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome at work ever since my colleagues found out I'm dating another woman. Subtle comments and awkward silences are starting to get to me. What are my rights as a queer woman in the Indian workplace?
Don't feel sad; there is no fault in you. Just accept your feelings and let society understand them. You have every right, so don't worry
Anonymous9d
So first of all you are a human. you must be respected irrespective of your sexual identity. A workplace should ensure that everyone is treated equally without any kind of discrimination. Your workplace might have some policies or laws for Queer community.

My boss is giving me extra work on weekends despite of knowing the fact that I recently got into a relationship. Is he jealous? or is he taking revenge from me for something. What should I do?
Anonymous9d
Nothing like that. maybe there is an urgent meeting or stuff that is happening as a result he is giving more work. u r just overthinking
Na_Dia9d
May be you are overthinking. If you are out there to work, you must think twice before complaining. Sometimes it becomes our habit to see bad in every thing.

I have a coworker who is extremely two-faced towards me. Whenever we interact directly, she's overly nice and friendly to my face. But multiple trusted colleagues have mentioned to me that the moment I'm not around, she routinely talks badly about me and bitches about things I've done or said. This duplicitous behavior is really off-putting. I'm worried about creating unnecessary workplace drama if I call her out directly. What's the best way to approach this situation - should I have an upfront discussion or kill her with kindness in hopes she stops the petty gossiping?
I think try talking to her for sometime. if she is rude or something then ignore her
See here you have heard different things so there are no direct encounters even if you confront she can deny and you will have cold war, what you can do is have acceptance that person doesn’t belong in any of your close knit and keep it as professional as possible
