A man doesn’t want to speak to his femalecoworker after an incident involving HR.
He tookto Reddit’s “Am I the A******” forum to explain.He and his wife Jamila work at the same company.“We recently took on a new intern Olivia, who’s inmy department … I do most of her training … Due to this,she spends a lot of her breaks with me and my group”.“Jamila comes to visit me during lunch andthere is light PDA … the usual flirty stuff”.“My wife came home crying last Friday asshe’d been reported to HR for harassment”.Olivia admitted to filing the report andtook a hard stance against Jamila’s behavior.“I explained to Olivia that Jamila and I were married.However, she was firm in her belief that Jamilashouldn’t touch me at all at work and that itsends a weird message to others at work”.“Since then I’ve avoided speaking to Olivia if thingsaren’t work-related … She’s been very sad andinattentive at work and my coworkers are tellingme to stop treating her this way”.“What’s she’s doing is very childish and soundslike she’s trying to manipulate your coworkers intothinking you’re the bad guy,” one person said
