    That is not on and yes things could really bad if he is reported. Sexual harassment is something your DH will want to have to deal with nor will the resort want it.
    No matter how good someone sounds it's not until they are employed do you reall know what they are like, unless you know them before hand

    I would get your DH to give him a warning, in writing, sending a copy to the GM also and then get rid of him if he doesn't improve his behaviour.

    Do you really want him as a friend if he is like this. You can still be friends with his patrner and children.

    Thanks Rivlas,

    I know its bad. I reminded DH of the recent DJ scandal and how that turned out.

    I don't personally want a friendship with this guy, and DH certainly doesn't want a friendship out of the work environment. (this guy calls DH sweetheart, and makes DH feel uncomfortable already). I'm actually more worried that we will lose the other friends we have made through this mums group. (even though I know this is out of my control)

    I have a feeling that a letter isn't too far off, whether DH is the one who gives it to him, or if it comes from someone else!

    Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. From a personal perspective, anything your DH says to you is confidential, and I wouldn't be mentioning anything to his partner.

    From a professional perspective for your DH, I would be looking at the induction / code of conduct from the company / resort, and very clearly going through each of the items and getting the apprentice to sign off on them. I hope it all works out for you

    Thanks Kazbah; I might mention that to him tomorrow!

    Rivlas, Its going ok, the guy just doesnt seem to get the point to everything. I know that DH has laid everything on the line for him, set out the expectations of the company, his own expectations of staff and what not. But still there doesnt seem to be much improvement. Thankfully another person has taken on the exec chef job as of next month, so this problem wont be Dh's alone.
    The guy's partner asked me yesterday how it was all going, and I told a white lie, that I hadnt heard anything. Apparently though this guy is loving te job and is forever thankful, I just wish he knew how to show it!
    One thing is though, they both need to realise that being friends with me on fb means that Dh has access to their pages and what they put on there! Silly people!


    But thank you for checking in

    just an update.

    So DH's work gave us a holiday that we are meant to take in a weeks time, but with things the way they are his work may postpone this till after christmas

    DH still hasnt had a full day off in ages now. He has officially passed his probationary period! He had tues off for his family's christmas party. During the day the average apprentice, kept ringing DH about the most stupist of things. "Someones used all the made up salads, what should I do?" etc... There was someone there who he should have been asking instead of constantly ringing DH. the text messages kept coming during the night too.
    On wednesday DH turns up for work to find none of the work done, and a note from this guy instead asking the most unimportant stuff. DH then gets called into the GM's office where they give him the news about our holiday, the sacking of this guy is discussed. If he is sacked then we definately cannot go away. If he stays then he needs to improve massively.
    Also at least one complaint has been made about him as well. He turned up to a mums meet the other day where he was boasting about the stuff he was doing at work, I couldnt help myself, I just commented on it to him by saying, " you know that behaviour isnt acceptable in these sorts of places, they have high standards and if you dont meet them then you will get a warning at least". DH actually thanked me for saying that when I told him. I couldnt help myself, but I did want to say some pretty horrible stuff to him.
    Since then DH has "put the fear of god", as he likes to call it, into the whole kitchen, this guy in particulas though.
    Now Im just really hoping this guy gets his act together, or he just leaves. Its hurting my head
