She did say it exactly.

The context does not matter, because such wording is always inappropriate between male manager and female employee.

I can't really repeat that again. If you don't agree, not my problem.

OP can evaluate my comment for herself.

I suggest she also discuss it in therapy later when she gets access to help.

What is it? Buttercup? I don't know the context of this remark. Every day? He said it once? He was trying to put her at ease with a compliment?

The problem is Ruby cannot tell the difference. I have had playful nicknames with coworkers that I have good relationships with. He may have done this before he realized Ruby's infatuation tendencies. The point is: we do not know. This is why it's essential for Ruby to maintain that list of boundaries because she cannot tell the difference between a friendly compliment and a romantic advance.
