The wife was very upset about this and decided to talk to her about the raise.

 

She asked:

Maria: 'Your husband say so.'

Wife: 'Oh.'

 

Maria: 'The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.

Wife: (really furious now) 'Ah! Did my husband say that as well?'

Maria: 'No Mam... Your driver says'.

Wife: 'Ok Ok, So how much do you want?'

How to deal with harassment at work

How to deal with harassment at work

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK

Talent is important. So is your resume, but then so is diplomacy. Inter-personal skills have started to play a large role in where your career is headed. Discussions during coffee breaks, impromptu lunches and water cooler conversations, life sometimes seems like an endless task of forging connections. In such an environment, lines do get trespassed. But not all lines.

Sexual comments or inappropriate conduct should not be something you should find yourself getting used to. If you have been holding back your anger because you feel that you might be regarded as a prude, a social outcast or even lose your job, then it's time you toughened up and geared up for battle as experts tell you how to handle that extra friendly colleague without hurting yourself along the way.

What is sexual harassment?

The Supreme Court defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexually determined behaviour such as physical contact and advances, a demand or request for sexual favours, sexually coloured remarks, showing pornography or any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment is a manifestation of power relations and a form of gender discrimination.

As a result, women are much more likely to be sexually harassed than men. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), this is 'precisely because women lack power, are in more vulnerable and insecure positions, lack self-confidence, or have been socialised to suffer in silence.'

What does one do if the harassment is not overt?

The foremost thing to do in such a situation is to communicate clearly to the person that his behaviour is not appreciated and is unacceptable. As part of our conditioning, we as women are usually prone to ignoring a problem rather than confronting it, especially if it involves sexual advances. The first reaction almost always is, what will people say?

Take the case of 27-year-old Radhika Malhotra, an account planner in a multinational firm who thought that if she ignored the advances of a colleague, he would just back off. "I was scared of speaking up, because I felt that people would judge me and call me stuck up. Only when it started affecting my work did I go to my manager who made it clear to the person concerned that such behaviour in office was inexcusable."

Even then she ended up leaving the organisation as she could not handle the gossip. It's best to act immediately by being firm and threatening with consequences. If the warning does not deter the person, report him straight to HR. The Vishakha Guidelines for dealing with Sexual Harassment at workplace make it mandatory for all organisations to formulate a policy for dealing with cases of sexual harassment at the workplace. Remember sexual harassment is defined by its impact on the recipient and not the intent of the harasser.

What does one do if nobody takes you seriously?

In such situations, it is imperative that you start collecting evidence- documents, photographs, e-mails and notes. These will be useful when you decide to file a formal complaint. This may happen in situations where the accused is a valued employee. Thirty-two-year-old Saubhagya Verma, a senior research analyst, did just that when she knew that her case would not stand a chance as the person concerned was a valued employee.

"It is important to be un-sentimental about the issue," she says. For days on end she thought about committing suicide because she was convinced no one would believe her. "But then, I realised only I could fight my battle through and I collected all my evidence before filing my complaint. And guess what? He was fired," she laughs.

Is it all right to discuss your harassment with other colleagues?

It takes a tremendous amount of courage for any woman employee to muster the strength to complain about sexual harassment. Talking about it with a few trusted colleagues and friends does help. You may realise that you are not alone. It also helps generate a wider awareness of the issue and mobilise support for the complainant.

Yet, this maybe a double-edged sword as rallying one trusted person as a witness is all right, but talking about it with every person within earshot will turn you into office gossip, the results of which can be disastrous as it will involve mud-slinging and speculation about your character. Be professional and report it to HR. Refrain from discussing it with anyone but your closest colleagues.

What if you were friendly with the accused? Does that jeopardise your position?

Always remember that everyone's boundaries are different and unique. We might put up our personal barriers in certain situations and take them down in others, but both men and women need to develop better communication skills around sexual transgressions. Women, in particular, need to learn how to effectively communicate when their boundaries have been crossed and they are feeling uncomfortable.

What is most important is that individuals conduct themselves professionally in the workplace and do not confuse social etiquette with business etiquette. This means that we should not attempt any behaviour that we do not welcome ourselves. Even if your history with a colleague is personal, you should not fear reporting him if you feel he has crossed the line. Your case will be viewed objectively.

Confronting right

1 Do the unexpected, label what he has done and be specific about it.

2 Hold the person accountable for his actions. Don't make excuses for him and pretend it didn't really happen.

3 Stick to your own agenda. Don't respond to the accused's excuses or diversionary tactics.

4 Reinforce your statements with strong, body language. Maintain eye contact, keep your head up, shoulders back and adapt a strong, serious stance

HEADACHES

Headaches    The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."    Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.    When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need - a new suit."    He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.    As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeve & 16-1/2 neck." Again, Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!"    Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Why not?" The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see ... 9-1/2 E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!"    Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."    Joe laughed. "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.   He said... I don't know why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in it. She said...You wear briefs, don't you? He said... Do you love me just because my father left me a fortune? She said...Not at all honey, I would love you no matter who left you the money. He said... "This coffee isn't fit for a pig!" She said..."No problem, I'll get you some that is." He said... Let's go out and have some fun tonight. She said...Okay, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway light on. He said... Why don't you tell me when you have an orgasm? She said...I would, but you're never there.

Had Columbus Been Married .....!!

 

Had Columbus Been Married .....!!

If Columbus had been married, he might never have discovered America, because he would have had to answer all the following questions and listen to such dramatic statements:

 

Where are you going?

 

With whom?

 

Why?

 

How are you going?

 

To discover what?

 

Why only you?

 

What do I do when you are not here?

 

Can I come with you?

 

When will you be back?

 

Will you be home for dinner?

 

What will you bring for me?

 

You deliberately made this plan without me, didn't you?

 

You seem to be making a lot of these programs lately...

 

Answer me why?

 

I want to go to my mother's house.

 

I want you to drop me there.

 

I don't want to come back ever!

 

What do you mean, OK?

 

Why aren't you stopping me?

 

I don't understand what this whole 'discovery' thing is about.

 

You always do things like this.

 

Last time also you did the same thing!

 

Nowadays you always seem to do this kind of stuff.

 

I still don't understand what else is left to be discovered!

Your Daily Smile ... The Auction ...

 

                                                                                     ********
                                                      One day a blond guy went to an auction. While there, he
                                                     bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught 
                                                    up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid,
                                                               so he bid higher and higher and higher.

                                               Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid -
                                                                    the parrot was his at last!

                                                 As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I
                                                   sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this
                                                            much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!"

                                                    "Don't worry." said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you
                                                                   think kept bidding against you?"

                                                                                   *************

Superb Advice from Father

Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum Child Psychologist.

 

The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents.!

 

I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons

 

1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early.

 

2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.

 

3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches.

 

Remember the following as you go through life

 

1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I.

 

To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move.

 

When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.

 

2. No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love most.

 

3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.

 

4. Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood.

 

If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.

 

5. A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard!

 

Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags!

 

6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life.

 

My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up.

 

After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.

 

7. You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so.

 

You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.

 

8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never strike any prize.

 

That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard!

 

There is no free lunch!

 

9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life .

 

Your Ever loving Dad.
