I'm a workaholic. I prefer to work even 12 hours a day than to stay at home. I have a problem with my work. I follow instructions easily. I know the rules and I want to be in professional way. The problem is that I've been harassed by this man. He said he would write complain letter to the higher authority which of course are his friends. I am afraid even if I didn't do something wrong. I had a bad feeling that when I made mistake, then he will fires me out. What will I do? I love my work? I love the people around me. Any piece of good advise please...... Help me...

I am not getting harassed quite like you are but there is a guy at my work who I take orders from and he takes advantage of me and is always getting onto me and harassing me. At first I told my boss and then the harassment went down a little bit. But as of now I just keep it to myself and try to brush it off and be the bigger person. But if I were you I would definitely tell someone of higher authority like your boss.

Honey all we can do is complete honest day of work. Apparently this person is envious of your great performance. I would meet with your supervisor and explain what is going on as you certainly do not want this jealous person tainting your hard efforts.

if i am in your position, i would choose to go or write to the director of your department or company. even if i have to risk my job seeing the highest position, i just have to inform him that someone in his subordinates is trying to make things hard for you. you have been at your best to accomplish your job satisfactorily but your superior still has a bad eye on you. that man harassing you is feeling guilty and insecure about you. he is afraid that you may be the best possible person who can takeover his post.

Hmmm... You do know it's a lost cause though? I mean, when you start complaining there's no way but for you to expose him and the company and things would get nasty. Otherwise, if you keep quiet about it, it would mean that you tolerate it and the harassment would continue.
It's sad that you're in that situation, most importantly because you do love your job and the environment. However, do you think that the partner or the higher position in the company would tend to lean towards his favor? Perhaps you could find a way to have some proof about the harassment.
But if I were you, I would just quit and get it over with. Complain to women's rights and let them settle that for you. You can no longer work peacefully there even if things are settled. There will be people who would blame you for being harassed and would even claim that you just did that to be promoted or something. Things would really get bad.
Whew. Just pray and find another job. Good luck!
