    I wish it was all that easy, but I'm 50 jobs, are not easy to come by at my age. Most admin jobs are minimum wage (£7.50 per hour) or just over, I earn £10.60 per hour so if I change jobs, that's if I can even find another one, it is likely to cause me some financial hardship. I do have some female co-workers but they are all younger than me, with most of them being 35 or under. They are all pleasant enough to pass the time of day with, at lunch time etc but I am not really close friends with any of them because of the age gap. Also because of my position, administrator to the general manager, it is not possible to just go and work alongside other admin workers. I am in an office on my own, which you have to walk through to get to my bosses office. The MD also has his own PA but he is a man. We are all on the first floor, the other office staff are all in the general office downstairs on the ground floor. So I am the only woman in my area.

      SCREAM REALLY LOUDLY the next time he does it to attract as much attention as you can. I would not be surprised if he is doing this to other women at work.

      Administrator to the general manager, wow that would be excellent on a resume, yet... with those credentials you can't find another decently paying job because you're 50? You can't even do a simple online search at home after work? Is everything really that hopeless at 50, that you need to deal with getting groped at work?

        You're right I need to look for something else. I made a decision today to report him, it didn't go well. Lots of grunting about these being serious allegations about a senior member of staff and needing some evidence to back up what I was saying. The way it came across was, that I was trying to cause trouble. It seems like a case of all the boys will stick together on this one. I was made to feel like I was guilty of something, not the victim. It was almost like having someone stick their hand up my skirt should be expected. I thought the world had moved on from that type of behaviour in the workplace, but clearly I have been deluding myself. Thank you for all your comments, they have been a big help.

      Do you like being groped?

      It sounds like your making excuses not to find another job.

      Who cares about the pay rate, is your body worth the price? Come on now.

      Try to expose this bastard any way you can. This might solve the issue so you can stay.

      And dont go with him alone. If he ask you, you can refuse and say to everybody around you that he'll just grope you if you do.

      You have to expose him. Don't allow it to continue.
