St. Patrick’s Day weekend is usually all about fun, friends, and festivities. But for one woman, it turned into a workplace nightmare when a coworker sent her inappropriate texts at 3 am. To make matters worse, he’s married and assumed she was interested in him, despite her being a lesbian (although not out at work). So, how did she handle the situation? By sending him a firm email, attaching the offensive texts, and setting some serious boundaries. But was she too harsh? Let’s dive into the story.

HR Steps In: Fired or Forgiven?
After taking advice from others, our protagonist decides to forward the emails to HR and document the conversation they had at her desk.

Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
