i have a co worker that continues to harrass me.he has done everything from calling me a whore to telling me that someday they are going to find my body at the bottom of a dumpster.i have told my boss about it and he does nothing.today my boss threaten my job and told me to take the rest of the day and decide whether i want to keep my job or not.what should i do please help me. :confused:

Is your coworker doing this because of your age, gender, national origin, pregnancy status, race, religion or gender? The use of the word, "whore", can be seen as illegal harassment and discrimination.

You may wish to look at the website for the EEOC at eeoc.gov. Then, you may wish to file a complaint of discrimination.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

thank you ,i am the only female working in this plant.so i am guessing it has somthing to do with that.

My advice is for you to file a complaint with the EEOC. They will investigate the matter for you. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

my boss called me in the office today after work,he told me he wrote the other person up and i think he was going to do the same to me,but when i asked him why now when this has been going on for so long,he denied knowing anything about any of it he called me a liar and told me none of it ever happened,i told him i had a witness to one of the incidents and when i refused to tell him who, he screamed at me and said he was finished with me,and i need to leave.

Your boss may be threatened by the comments about a witness. As I said earlier, go to the EEOC for assistance. They will be able to help you.

Just as an FYI for those who may be involved with an issue with an employee or with their employer, I always advise managers not to threaten employees with promises of discipline, etc. I also advise the same for employees. While it is a good idea to politely approach your employer with any concerns that people may have, it is not necessary to let the employer know (or imply) that you are going to take it to the next step.

These types of comments from managers and/or employees won't do anything but put the other person on the defensive and possibly escalate the matter to a level that is not resolvable.

In any case, let me know if you have any other questions.

If this person does anything to threaten your personal safety, I would also suggest obtaining a personal protection order (PPO).
