Creepy middle-aged man

October 26th, 2024

Full disclosure — I disliked that man long before what happened two days ago. At first, I just got the unpleasant vibe from him, then in my (thankfully) limited interactions my feelings were confirmed — he is an arrogant, stuck-up, full-of-himself asshole. He is also a high-ranking director at my company, who works from the main office, so I don't have to see his stupid face daily. No matter that, every time I see an email from him I get shivers of disgust. He hides himself in a very high chair and behind a facade of expensive elegance and sophistication, but that doesn't hide his true uncouth and sleazy nature from me.

He is also a creep.

I noticed that during the dinner and dance party at the company conference two days ago. I noticed how quickly and thoroughly he got drunk. I noticed how he then started behaving towards much younger junior staff members. I noticed how he would grab a woman who was his subordinate very low by the waist and pull her for an uncomfortably close face-to-face talk. I noticed how he would grab another woman by her wrist, angrily moving too close and disregarding personal space. The women in question seem to be taking it in stride, laughing it off. Of course, if there was anything else that I would see beyond creepiness— I wouldn't hesitate to move in and intervene, or at least I like to think that about myself. What I’ve seen is enough to tell me that he is a sleazy creep and borderline sex pest who is using his position for some perverted gain. Or maybe just for the illusion of dominance. I really hate this scumbag.
