Even though I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community, I applied as a diversity candidate and now my VP is hitting on me.

This may sound like a troll post, but I swear to god it's not.

When I was junior at a semi-target, the IB club organized a something like a seminar and I called some of the people from the bank I did my internship at and a few VPs agreed to come to the seminar.

(I did my second internship at a BB IB as a diversity candidate. White male and straight but applied through the LGBTQ+ program)

I was one of the key organizers of the seminar so I had chance to talk with all of the bankers. But, there was a senior VP who was really interested with the seminar and kept calling me and asking questions. At that time, I was so fucking happy that I was networking with a Sr. VP. Whenever I was laying on my bed in my dorm room, I was dreaming about him and how I can use him to achive my dreams but I never thought something like this.

I also did my third internship there. During that time, that VP was helping me little bit too much, letting me go early and letting me take credit for others work. He told me that I should work there after my graduation, and he can even promote me faster than usual when he's a MD. I thought he saw himself in me so he was acting this way...

I graduated and started working there. I started getting suspicious and after doing some digging on his social media and remembering that he may see that I did my first internship there as a LGBTQ+ diversity candidate. I literally puked in my room because he's probably a gay.

I'm not a paranoid person, but recently I'm seeing him in my nightmares and scared to get close to him. I feel like he sometimes touches my hand sexually but I'm not really sure.

I don't want to leave the bank because this is literally the best thing I can do for my future, but also I can't say no to him because he will be a MD soon, and probably can destroy my career.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Actions have consequences… first rule of life. And the second rule is this – you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

Good luck !

 

 don’t scam the system , you (and others who act like you) will be messing it up for those who need it 

but your VP also sounds like a total dhole

 

Advice? Umm ... Don't let him fuck you in the ass??

I really don't see what you need advice on here. Be friendly, don't be a homophobe, but if he invites you to his place or anything, just make up an excuse and he will get the message.

Other than that, just do your work and don't refer to homosexuals as "a gay" or "the gays" in front of him.

 

Good on your for gaming the corrupt system of diversity recruiting. That said, just pull down your pants & bend over, your peers will be so jealous you made the A2A in 1 year instead of 2!

 

as far as i can tell, VPs done nothing wrong beyond giving you what you think is preferential treatment? you sound kinda fugly so i seriously doubt he was hitting on you

Whenever I was laying on my bed in my dorm room, I was dreaming about him and how I can use him to achive my dreams

Yea ok, definitely not a troll post LOL

 

sexual harassment?

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

Well man, I'll give you the wisest words of advice my father ever gave me when I first entered the real world: "well son, how bad do you want it?"

That being said, I'll leave you with the second wisest words dad gave me: "remember son, you can't un-suck a dick"

Best of luck, OP, and godspeed.

 

You might enjoy it more than you think: look at this line from your post.

"Whenever I was laying on my bed in my dorm room, I was dreaming about him and how I can use him to achive my dreams but I never thought something like this."

Absolutely dripping.

Hahahaha what a hero. Scamming the BS diversity programs.

Just behave normally, you don't have to look or act like you are gay.

If you like your team and see yourself there for the long run, then politely reject the VP if he tries something; or tell him you have a "partner".

If you are looking to lateral or leave the bank and he happens to try something once you have an offer, you should beat him as hard as you can.
