right well
joe and kev hired a new telesales girl for our new company last month, Allison.

Allison's skin-ny-as-fuck and got a bit of a rat face, BUT Malc fancied the pants off her. Right?
Well, Malc flirted with her outrageously for the couple of weeks she was here, despite the fact she has a boyfriend, is a recent divorcee, and malc's got a girlfriend too. Right?

So anyway, malc ramped up his charm offensive, sent her some flirtatious texts and whatnot, there's even a little love note on the whiteboard next to her desk with TWO kisses on it. Right?

Except Allison hasn't been into work since. She's booked off 4 weeks sick due to 'anxiety', totally fucked us over because she was our first new employee.

Turns out her boyfriend saw the texts, fucked her shit RIGHT UP, and won't let her back to work. Ummmmmmmmm!

Woah, seriously?
That's pretty mental

indeed it is
we don't know if anything more than flirting happened, but they both stayed late in the office when everyone else was gone, and there was a sticky patch on the corner of my desk.

ok, the sticky patch was from my choux bun, but still

Just sayin'

I'd give Malc a right bollocking for that shit right there.
Or make him pay her 4 weeks wages.

malc's kind of not really an intern, he doesn't make money, we just cover his expenses
he won't be coming over to the new company now

Yeah, but it's proving that Malc is directly responsible, isn't it?
And even if the company got any kind of 'evidence' that he was to blame, he could contest it. But you're right...Malc's a prick, and needs to be taken down a peg or two.

Writing a love note on a whiteboard to another member of staff in an office
Would get you into shit here, probably formal disiplinary even if there wasn't a complaint.

Sure
Depends on the nature of the note, but fair enough.

something along the lines of it "not being the same here without her xx"

I guess Malc's character adds to the whole thing
For instance, if another girl wrote that, it probably wouldn't have been treated so seriously.

we're not a very serious office, malc's not going to get a bollocking as he isn't staff
he's always been a naughty boy, and he knows now that because of his misbehaviour he's pissed us off and won't be getting a job next year.

Allison was ridiculous at telesales, she was pulling in 2-3 appointments per day, compared to most girls not geting that each week

Ah well, hopefully he's realised what he's done and won't do it again
Feel sorry for the girl though.

me too, apparently she was in an abusive relationship before
so malc's just made her life much more difficult than it needed to be. Still, she encouraged it and is old enough to know better.

That fucking malc though, eh? what a prick, he's done similar with tracey, sasha and a girl at a company we do a lot of business with. i don't think he got anywhere with any of them, but still.

Unfortunately I have a good friend that (I believe) is a bit like Malc while at work
I'm amazed that he's still there. That being said, the girls he works with have a combined IQ of 46, so I don't think the phrase 'sexual harrassment' would ever occur to them. Doesn't make it ok of course.
