first thing is to identify sexual advances, which most of the times is mistaken as care or concern or just plain chivalry. Listen to your gut feeling. Politely refuse to entertain any sexual advances in public places if possible. Keep your seniors in loop the moment something happens.

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??

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??

Maybe he just likes you because you are a good employee, not because he has a crush on you

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 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.

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

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

önceki iş yerimden beni işten çıkarıp kıdem ve tazminatımı vermelerini istedim. Onlar da haksız oldukları için verdiler tabi. Şimdi yeni iş görüşmelerine başladım ama bunu yeni işverene söylemeli miyim yoksa işe devam ediyormuş gibi mi davranmalıyım hiç bilemiyorum😬 ne yapacağımı şaşırdım, beni yönlendirebilir misiniz😞

Sneha here. My peers at work seem to enjoy dimming my shine, taking credit for my ideas. How do you handle such situations gracefully? @Aartichawla
dear Sneha self belief will take u up the ladder. I was also going through office politics a couple of years back. so I understand your situation if you believe that you r right, you are doing justice to your work n salary, nothing can stop you. also i suggest take therapy and talk to your loved ones who understands you.

Let's say I take a leave of absence to support someone close to me. Is there anything I need to be aware of regarding my job security if I decide to leave the company after using my leave? Knowing the potential consequences would help me make an informed decision.
This depends on what kind of leave you are eligible for. Leave of absence is a little ambiguous. If this is your annual/earned/paid leave you can avail it for any reason and you can come back to work, and then quit. But if it is unpaid leave, then you need clear communication with your line manage about how long this is for. I don’t think you can be terminated if everything is in writing and there is a fixed period and you return after that period is over. If you keep extending then of course at some point the company might start to think of a replacement.
