As long as I was selling oil or working with this company..This was basically the rules of the game!! Its sick and this place is filled with corruption! It's time for a change!! I am not even in sales. I am an Office Manager that makes nothing as far as the comission goes. It upsets me that they value me in that way. Like I don't have feelings, like I'm not a human being. I was taught by my mother to be respectful and stand up for the things I believe in. I am a very strong willed person and I will fight to the bitter sweet end! I wil not back down!! I will be strong for whatever is about to happen!! Yes he was saying with a little smirk on his face that this type of behavior is accepted by him!

I don't know which is worse, this customer's degrading you in this way, or your boss thinking this is a good thing that helps them sell product. Good for you for standing up to them. Still, for both yourself and your daughter, you need to keep a perspective about this. Your anger and hatred is not only hurting you--hurting your outlook, your health, etc--it could have a very negative effect on your daughter as she picks up on her own view of life from you. Please go to your local women's center for some counseling to help you deal with this. --Jennifer I understand your anger.

Is that right? I have a true hatred towards sales because that's where I was harassed. I literally can't stand the word. So when I read that I was like oh I have to read this post. You did the right thing by filing a complaint with the EEOC although I am sure it has caused some problems at work it is much better than selling yourself out for sex. I am proud of you for stanind up to that and don't let that boss tell you that y ou are spending money that isn't necessary because obviously it was worth it because the man had a history of SH in his past. Which, if you research other people that have had similar experiences with this you will find a trend that most every man that has done this has done it to someone else. I understand your bitterness and share it with you. I know that your work envionment is hectic right now but you hang in there as long as you can and take care of that little girl and show her that her Mama is strong and won't stand for that kind of crap!!! vangogh When he said “It sales oil” he was referring to the comments made by this individual?
