☑️ Ignore his Facebook friend request

☑️ Casually mention he creeps you out in conversation with your boss and hear your boss say things like “Ha! That’s what the last girl said!”

☑️ Debate whether or not he’s done something “bad enough” to warrant telling HR

☑️ Reply to his Instagram messages through work email

☑️ Stop opening his IG messages

☑️ Talk to your therapist about how to set a boundary

☑️ Are you just gonna have to quit this job?

☑️ And the next job, because this will happen again?

☑️ Get into an argument with a guy online who says work is easier for hot girls because all the dudes at work wanna fuck them

☑️ Get put in FB jail for cussing him out in that argument

☑️ Have that same dude find your LinkedIn and harass you there

☑️ Great, now two dudes are harassing you

☑️ Report and block both

☑️ Fuck it
