Workplace harassment
4 months ago
In a party yesterday night, a male colleague said to me(I am also male) in front of many people that -"Sir, we have heard you used to provide alcohol to the dean" • I felt extremely offended and sad, this person is otherwise always nice to me and I consider him a good friend. But I did not think appropriate to reply in front of others. When I came home, I wrote him a private whatsapp message to him saying -"The same people who said such things about me to you also say bad things about you. I have heard them saying that you provided girls to the director"• My intent was only to tell him that such bad people say bad things about everyone. But looks like he has taken this very negatively. Can this be a legal battle? Have I harassed him? Thanks.
Nothing to worry. It is a tit for tat. He provoked you to send such private WhatsApp message to him as such it cannot be resulted in any legal battle.
The POSH Act is a gender-specific act and it deals with only cases relating to harassment faced by women in the workplace. So there will be no case of harassment in the workplace, and regarding the WhatsApp message even if you feel he has taken it in a negative stance it will not amount to any criminal proceeding.
Thank You
