I’ve been working at my job for a few months now, and it’s been great. I get along with everyone and I’m doing well in my position. All in all, I’m happy with my job. Well, I was happy until last week.
One of my co-workers, let’s call him John, started flirting with me. At first, I thought it was just a harmless joke, so I went along with it. But then he started making advances, and I started feeling uncomfortable. I tried to avoid him, but it was hard because he was always around.
I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to make a scene and I didn’t want to lose my job, so I just kept quiet. The problem was that John was also my ride to work. I live quite far from work, so he drives to my house every morning and takes me to work.
I didn’t want to stop taking the rides, because it was convenient and it saved me money, but I also didn’t want to give John the wrong idea. I was worried that if I kept taking the rides, he would think I was encouraging his advances.
So I decided to confront him. I told him that I was uncomfortable with the way he was behaving and that I wanted him to stop. He seemed surprised, but he agreed to stop. He also said he was sorry and that it wouldn’t happen again.
I was relieved, but I was still worried about the rides. I didn’t want to stop taking them, but I also didn’t want to be in an awkward situation every morning. I didn’t want to be in a car with someone who had been making advances toward me.
So, I had no choice but to spend at least $30 on Grab rides daily.
Now i start to feel a bit dumb as daily Grab rides is about $700 a month…
