I started working nights and 98% of my co-workers are male. Not only do we work a night shift (8pm-6am), we also work 6-7 days a week. Because of this schedule it eliminates any possiblity of a social life. Since there are very few females and the other females that do work there are older, majority of my co-workers have developed a crush on me at one time or another. After work a group of us would go to breakfast or hang out to unwind and I became one of the guys. One of the guys (he also lives in the same appt. complex) was the floor supervisor when I started and then became the assistant supervisor insinuated to several of my co-workers that he and I were "doing the deed". We never had any encounters what-so-ever and I later discovered that he was sneaking into my appartment and stealing some of my clothing (you guessed it, my underware) I was appalled and let him know that I was aware of what he was doing in a rather public way. He played it off to everyone that it was a "Joke" (and all that macho bullshit). The head supervisor (a female) was told of the situation but because of her relationship (strong friendship, possibly more?) nothing was done! A new company took over and he was not hired on as a asst. supervisor. I now hold a higher paying position than he does (he's been working there for 10 and I have been there for 2 years) and now he is spreading rumors that I am sleeping with the boss to get ahead. I am currently in a relationship with a co-worker and we have been in this relationship for almost a year now. We do not display affection at work or around work and we maintain a normal professional relationship. These rumors about the boss and I are often brought up and I have no idea how to put them to an end. Any suggestions? I have considered filing a police report and getting a restraing order in regards to the underware stealing issue which would force him to get other employment but that incident happened 9 months ago so I don't think it would work.
