Did it ever happen to anyone? I'm really frustrated and don't know how to react.
I work for Fed.Gov-t in "supposedly professional" office environment, but there is one co-worker, I guess that's her way of sort of interracting. She did hit me pretty hard twice ( shoulder and back) and it looked like it was in a joking kind of way, but she doesn't do it to anyone else btw. Only to me. Both times there was a witness, same guy who was talking to me when she approached and decided to join the coversation in that manner.
She's older with grown-up kids and I'm relatively young (well, comparing to her) and new in my office.
What would you advise? Run to my supervisor or file an official complain or just avoid the idiot?
I don't really care when people saying stupid things/comments because I can easily ignore it, but touching let alone hitting someone, I don't think it's normal at all. Then more I think about it, then more it upsets me.
I forgot when anyone ever hurt me physically. Until now.
