so i stupidly went on a date with a coworker, and after telling her it wasnt a good idea she kept pressing and so i invited her to come out with me next sat night with some friends for a drink and it would just be casual.
well she asked me later, can we just go out without your friends and go somewhere near my house cause i worked too long shifts and im tired. (i know, im a sucker) so i said fine, then when i came over it was "can we just watch a movie on demand and have some wine together cause im to tired to go out".
anyway, you can guess how it ended. the next day i felt like we really didnt have anyhting to talk about and it was awkward.
so 2-3 days later im getting 4 phone calls a day and text messages all day when im at a meeting and she's saying honey i miss you. so i told her this is moving too fast for me and i want to slow it down and she got totally pissy saying i was going after another girl. I told her its too much and we work togerther and its going to all get crazy at work.
so this week she tells our new boss (the previous one just stepped down) that im making things difficult for her in the workplace and being disrespectful to her (and she thinks im going with another girl at work now because she saw me speaking with her - and she calls that flaunting it in her face and in reality i have nothing to do with this other person and i have told het that over and over again but it just happens that the 2 of them dont like each other and never have). yes i am the only single guy working with about 20 women so it gets crazy sometimes.
so today i got a "verbal warning" saying that if my personal relations with coworkers continue to decrease productivity i may have future disciplinary actions. I took that as a scare tactic, they cant really fire me because i went on one date with her and now refuse to date this woman. And they cant hold me responsible for the way she interacts with the rest of the staff.
a friend told me i can take legal action if the boss tries to take future disciplinary action against me as long as i behave professionally in the workplace. though im sure this girl can come up with other BS to make things difficult. im kind of kissing her behind to keep her from getting too bent, but after today im just plain tired of it all.
anyone know legally how this could all turn out ?
