Let me know your thoughts!
Hey All, I’ve been having some rough times at work lately and have put together a little email for my People Team. I was hoping to get your opinion on the letter and any advice is very welcome, thank you in advance!

Dear People Team,
I hope you’re doing well.
I wanted to bring a matter to your attention that’s important to me. On 13th April, during our team meeting, my Manager l made a comment that I found quite uncomfortable. Specifically, when I was climbing the stairs to join everyone in the boardroom, Patrick was walking behind me when he said “ You have a perfect shape of your bicycle seat on your butt”, which made me feel uneasy given my personal history of Sexual harassment in and outside of work and unfortunately reality of me having experienced SA.
Further moreover soon after the new head barista joined our house I started received a extra amount of attention via minutes long slack voice notes explaining how she appreciates me and offering to treat me to dinner, her calling me “baby” on shift and on an occasion when she was standing behind the grinders, I asked her to top-up One of the espresso grinders so I’d have proper downward pressure in the chamber she responded with “ I’ll put the pressure on you” with a grin on her face, etc. After about a week or so of her being consistently affectionate and me not reciprocating beyond friendly conversation/subtly signalling that I’m not looking for that kind of attention her mood shifted drastically to more irritable and slightly hostile towards me. Overall when under pressure she’s prone to a stressed demeanour and slamming things on the counter. As someone who has quite a bit negative experience with violent and aggressive behaviour I find those moments extremely stressful and draining to cope with.
For my well-being, I’d like to request a reassignment to another site.
I appreciate your understanding and support.
Kindest regards
(They/them)
