I don't know why I'm so worried about what they will think, and that I will disappoint them. Why should I care about disappointing them? Why can't I feel like I'm right?
Last night I started my new position on the night crew at my job (home improvement store) How could I have been so naive to actually think that these guys wouldn't bother me. I'm one of two girls working overnight. I was alone for 2 minutes, and it's like they have "stupid girl is alone radar." One guy told me he'd like to find out if I am a good kisser. What the hell? I'm not attention seeking, I don't flirt, I dress appropriately. I guess my problem is that I'm too nice. I should just be a bit**. But, why should I have to change my personality? I already told one of the managers that I don't feel comfortable, and it's not going to work out. I'm going back to work tonight, but will hopefully this is the last night. I want to go back to my original job. I'm worried that they will be mad. Why do I feel this way? I should be looking out for myself. Why do I have to feel like I failed them? And now I will have my other co-workers saying, "I told you so." I don't want to quit altogether because there are a lot of people I do actually like to work with. I'm just trying to find the position that I best fit in. Thanks for listening. Needed to get it out. I'm still a little nervous about telling the bosses I changed my mind. They'll probably think I'm just a wishy washy dumb girl. Oh, well.

That is definitely harassment. I'd report the jerk if I were you. No woman should put up with that kind of behavior.

Hang in there and let us know how things are going.

hon don't let those guys get away with that behavior. if you do it will only allow them to do this to other women. report them to store manager at least. you are their equal there and you do not deserve that kind of treatment.

Everyone is right report them to the boss and let them know they can get away of doing what is wrong on the job, You are showing the others that you work with That you are not taking their trash and you are standing up to them, If the trouble contunes keep going to the boss and in time they will have to move you around till things resovled. TC and best of luck .Keep up the fight.
