Just spoke to the HR person about the maintenance man
« on: August 22, 2008, 01:51:46 PM »
Because we're a small office, we don't have a full-time HR person here; she splits her time between a few offices, mostly stays at one nearby.

She just came in, however, to meet with someone who resigned yesterday. I just talked to her about the maintenance man.

Wow! She was so nice! She's pretty new here, although I'd met her a few times. She has such a nice and professional way about her. I just told her several of us were beginning to be uncomfortable around him, didn't give her real specifics, just a general idea. Someone from the company on the 3rd floor lodged an actual complaint against him because he evidently asked her out.

I suggested that someone talk to him, but she was really lovely and said "no, we don't want anyone like that around here. If he were one of our employees that would be different, we could talk to him and monitor the situation, but we don't know how they will handle it."

I cannot believe how relieved I feel. I was not expecting this at all! (Relief.) I had no idea I was holding that much in. I could almost shed a few tears.

In talking to her I also realized how I protect people at my own expense. While it was very clear to her that he should not work in this building, I was much more willing to be lenient.

DUMB!!!!

Wow -- and now the facilities manager (also from another building and not even the same one as the HR person, this one is out of state) just called me to get an idea of what's been going on.

I am SO impressed that within 3 minutes, this was being handled.

And grateful.

And a little more teary. I think because of the N pastor thing -- it's bringing a lot of that back.

Whew.
