just hide a wireless surveillance camera(by logic recording).be creative and talk about that you do not want such thing or otherwise you will go to the authorities.

The only way to avoid having a bad boss, or office politics is to go into business for yourself. I would just avoid contact with the office brass altogether, and just go about my work to maintain tranquility.

Take the ladies out for lunch (does not have to be fancy) one day and tell them how you feel. Maybe they would start including you in the conversations, especially to get the male perspective on things. This would help you learn how to be a leader and then move up in an organization by showing the ability to move beyond petty office crap.

You have to be realistic about this one because it will come back to haunt you if you're not. If at all possible distance yourself from this person. In other words, stay out of his or her target range. Next start racking up useful accomplishments for the office and your own time. For example, take a CPR and/or first aid class, earn credits or certificates important to your corporation, or do volunteer work on your companies behalf (i.e. Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers & Sisters, Red Cross, etc.). If there is some activity important to you boss do that too if you have time. After your accomplishments be sure your boss knows what you have done but don't talk about it with others at work so your jealous colleague won't find out for a while. If things get bad at work because of this person you will now be in a much better position to leave with all your new contacts and accomplishments. Good luck.

Try going out for a friendly lunch or after hours meeting and discuss your feelings or simply to get away from the prying eyes of your co-workers. See if there is an attraction or if nothing can come of it, for whatever reason, accept that and move on. Agree to remain friends without the unnecessary tension.

First, get a big club.  Walk around the office with it.  People will start to fear you.  Thats a key component of being a leader.  Next, Do not speak unless all are hushed and at attention.  This shows that you respect yourself, and will make others respect you.  If a few of your coworkers begin having a side conversation during your speech, club them.  Strike them quickly and without remorse.  Also, always ask for input when you are thru with your presentation, this gives your coworkers the idea that you care what they think, whether or not you actually do.

If you are friends than go for it, let him know that the proper way is to cover the mouth and then apoligize.  If he is just a peer and  you are not his boss than my guess would be say nothing, why cause yourself heartburn over something that is not your problem.  I don't know that I would turn the guy in but maybe the boss could put out a newsletter that is addressed to everyone with a dress code plus manners in certain situations.  No one else would be the wiser and it could solve a problem without causing any hard feelings.  Good luck

and innocent glare, keeps things in place at work, small talk could also be an indicator that a guy is interested, but be careful ,   in the workplace  flirting could be mistaken for sexual harrasment ..

It's not sexual harassment, just unprofessional. If the female employee refuses, and he keeps making attempts, then it would be harassment.

just general politeness. Please and thank you or at least thanks when appropriate. Not talking about nasty, gross, or lewd things in front of mixed company. Office mainly just keep it light and professional...gossip to a minimum at least too. school, appropriate speak and dress for the age group...especially if you are a teacher. And at home just the general common sense.

Tell him that you don't like.\n\nIf he's invading your space, you need to tell him. Tell him to back off.\n\nIf you don't tell him, he's going to continue annoying you and touching you in appropriate ways.

Stand up to the person in question.  It is polite to let them know that you have a problem with their work habits BEFORE you tell your supervisor.  If your colleague does not change, then go to your boss.  If your boss does not deal with the problem, tell them you are not happy, and go to THEIR supervisor.  They will respond if you go higher in the chain of command, and remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Nowadays, with all the sexual harassment issues at the workplace, people are extremely careful when getting involved like this. Maybe you should ask him to meet you in a place outside the work environment and openly discuss the issue. Some guys, like me are shy and will wait to get a very clear "hint" to make the move.

Try to meet him outside of work! But I hope you know the risks of an office relationship!!

NO!!!! Don't wait.\n\nDon't let this turn into a party of 3+ because he doesn't know you want some alone time. Clarify this immediately. Otherwise somebody else might get invited, him thinking it's just lunch.\n\nSend him an email with "Sexual Harassment" in the subject line. In the body, tell him that it's a good thing for you that he's leaving the company so now YOU won't get into any trouble!\n\nThat will get his attention and let him know you're interested in a way that will bring a smile to his face. At lunch, tell him you want to give him a good-bye kiss for his leaving. Plant one on him that will make your intentions perfectly clear.\n\nMan, I should charge for this stuff...

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

there are women in my workplace who have ascended to managerial positions, starting out as secretaries/assistants, with only  a hs degree or an associates. men don't have that luck.\nAnd besides, any word or stare can be considered harassment, making women untouchable in an office.
