I have a male coworker that has told more than five other coworkers that I have slept with him.I confronted the coworker and he denied everything even though I had all five of them tell me the exact same story and that they all heard it from him.When I went to my employer to file a complaint he became some what angry and told me that I was accusing him of having a hostile work environment.I don't know what I should do to fix this problem I need my job and he's not going anywhere since my boss seems to treat him like a best friend.
 
that really sucks. i can't say that i have a whole bunch of experience in the work environment (i'm only fourteen, sorry :( ) but i can say that sometimes the only way to deal with romors is to just hold your head high and know that they are totally untrue, and if people snicker ask "what are you laughing at?" and if someone tells you what they heard, STAY CALM and say, "that's not true." when you react like an atomic explosion you look touchy and defensive. i think you have handled this well by going to your boss and not stooping to his level *coughBOBDcoughcough* but i guess the world isn't fair and sometimes you just need to know that you're above him and that's all there is. rumors never last forever, and the people who really know/care about you probably will believe your denial.
sorry i suck at advice D:
 
Two things. Document the acts, and have those who heard him say it document them as well. Take them to your employer and tell him that if HE chooses not to do anything about it, you will see a lawyer. That should take care of it. Harassment, sexual or otherwise is unacceptable.
 
Call the corporate office if you work in a large enough business, talk to your boss and talk to a Human Resources person. This is serious sexual harassment, and you should keep documentation of the occurrences. The HR rep will deal with it if your boss doesn't, and your boss and the employee in question will be dealt with. If it's a small company, tell your boss about it. He will have to do something about it, because you have a serious case for a law suit if he chooses to ignore it or fire you.
 
Then you are going to hit him where it hurts .... his EGO. If they ask you anything just say yes you were but then you saw his small penis.
Or say his performance was mediocre at best. If not then you can spread a rumor about him. Just say that he is in the "closet".
 
Corner him in a dark alleyway... split his head open and leave the scene
 
tell him why do you so exctied even if a guy sleeps with you its not true but you seem happy about it.
maby you should support gy rights and by the way it not you i was looking for in bed IT WAS YOUR WIFE!
 
What i do is fight back, make a nasty untrue rumor about him but make sure it's more nasty than his or you could round up a posse and beat him up but make sure your wearing a mask if you actually do it.
 
Ignore Him, Go to him and talk to him about it. Go up to him and talk about your image. He obviously likes you he is just being immature about it.
