IF YOU ARE FEMALE:

I'm sure there won't be consequences.

Some people may now know you have a crush on said colleague but that's it I imagine. We can't help who we have a crush on.

IF YOU ARE MALE

I dunno dude, just hope it goes away I guess. I imagine the worst thing that could happen is your boss or HR has a quiet word and tells you to stop doing it.

Updated the post to reflect that. Agreed, just have to wait and see if anything comes of it…

Reminds me of this post https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/r6hlkh/tifu_by_pinning_a_really_cute_colleague_on_zoom/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

It's so messed up how that works. A friend of mine was sexually harassed multiple times from the same person at his work and his HR manager told him that she doesn't investigate female on male harassment.

I can't imagine you would get in trouble but please stop doing this. It is creepy and unnecessary even if they did reciprocate your feelings which by your admission they do not. If you were doing this in an person meeting just awkwardly staring at someone across the room you would be called out and potentially punished for harassment. Find a new crush that likes you the way you like them and only creep on them when they feel the same way.

That's discrimination, and that person should be terminated for it. Your friend should go to that HR person's higher up and report it.

He did and he got a decent settlement out of it for discrimination and for the sexual harassment as she was his supervisor.

Nice!

>Find a new crush

is that how crushes work? am i supposed to be looking for them? that explains alot

Anyhow, it would probably be best to apologise to the crush and stop doing it? It can't be good for you either

bruh.

Hindsight and all that, but what you should have done is unpinned the crush and “accidentally” pin a couple others. Just have them be one of many and than blame it on your mouse acting up or something.

Hey OP. Do ALL of your coworkers a favor and stop being a fucking creep.

He is still attracted to his coworker that politely declined but kept things peaceful. Him being attracted to her is totally fine, but continuously pinning her is not healthy for his mental health.

Being attracted isnt the same as staring during work hours. I am attracted to a variety of people I dont go out of my way to gawk at them.

Lean into this “mistake”. Next time, pun someone else randomly. Then instead of being creepy, it will look like you just aren’t competent with Zoom, and instead of getting investigated for sexual harassment, you will get training

So instead of getting the reality check and help he needs... he'll get training. smh.

I couldn't figure out wtf NB stands for for the longest time.. I could care less how one chooses to identify as but at the same time can't imagine how many more new terms we will need to get acquainted to at this rate. Call me old school or ignorant but this concept of overly complicated self identity is getting wild.
