Background: I work at a Franchised KFC. Recently i have become very conscience about my weight and over the past 2 months have lost 60 lbs with lots of hard work and dieting.
What is happening: There is a shift manager at KFC that calls himself making jokes with us. He will "joke" with some employees about their children's race, make remarks in a "joking" manor about how he saw them or their mothers on a porn cite or even talk some of the more gullible employees into believing that people are doing things behind their back. Recently this manager has been making comments about my weight, about how much I eat on my break (even though I hardly ever eat during my dinner break), and how over weight I am (I am within normal weight now, but it still bothers me because I know I'm not considered thin and have been struggling with this for a while). I have told him that I find it offensive and that he needs to stop. So now he will wait until I walk away and will say his offensive "joke" to other employees, but they will always tell me because they find him rude and offensive. None of us find the work environment friendly or productive while he is there. We are not sure if this is considered harassment, or if anything can be done, but his attitudes and ethic is not professional and does not promote a good work environment. What can we do about it?
