One of my male manager’s behaved differently with me because of my conservative nature. I wasn’t dressing up and behaving as fancy as his requirements were, if you know what I mean. As a result, Im targeted in everything. I'm now fed up of this and want everything to stop. @Careertherapiet

Hi! This is a tough situation. While you are fed up, see if you can take the load of being you and wanting to be like someone else , who is fancy and things like that? It's not to copy but to imitate the characteristics of people who are like that? It's to get put of your comfort zone and see what you can do. Of course you can come being you, anytime you want, that liberty is up to you! Think about this, and get back..idea is not to feel , see how he is doing, but to adapt to the characteristics not dress to show iff etc, but to dress differently may be ? Have an image consultant to see how they can help you...look into it.For success, it may matter...Tc, Preethq

Popular opinionThere is a male coworker who constantly makes unwanted advances and flirtatious comments towards me. He keeps trying to get me to go to lunch with him, despite me turning him down politely numerous times. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable and want to avoid any one-on-one situations with him. What is the best way for me to firmly shut down his advances without creating an awkward workplace environment?
Popular opinionI have a coworker who is extremely two-faced towards me. Whenever we interact directly, she's overly nice and friendly to my face. But multiple trusted colleagues have mentioned to me that the moment I'm not around, she routinely talks badly about me and bitches about things I've done or said. This duplicitous behavior is really off-putting. I'm worried about creating unnecessary workplace drama if I call her out directly. What's the best way to approach this situation - should I have an upfront discussion or kill her with kindness in hopes she stops the petty gossiping?
