Is this actual Harrassment?
I just started on a new team (excuse old job title) BB IB ~4 months ago. I knew my group had a rep for fratty/gigachad culture. I didn't think much of it, and obviously I can take a joke and I get the whole mess with the new guy. And that goes on and I chirp back, but starting like a month ago my VP has been giving me wet willies (licks his finger and puts it in my ear) basically every day. How do I get him to stop? Do I take this up with HR?
Edit: Thanks for the responses. I took everyones advice to not go to HR and instead handle it myself. So when he did it this afternoon, I grabbed his hand, gave him a stern look, and slowly sucked his finger to try and one up him. I expected him to laugh but it just got really weird. I think he told some other people around the office because my team was really short with me the rest of the day and vibes were just kind of off. I'm worried I took this too far, is there anything I can do to remedy this situation?
Return the favor
If you’re not a scrub, just firmly tell him next time he does it, “Look man, I appreciate our relationship and our jokes, but can you not stick your finger in my ear, it’s fucking annoying and crosses the line.” If he’s at all normal, he’ll respond well to that.
Even can do it privately, the person might appreciate this. I think if it continues then yes, definitely able to potentially take it to HR.
Perhaps they don't understand boundaries or you haven't set a clear boundary; if you decide not to report them but you're not willing to take a swing at them for this either at least prank them back.
Let out an audible moan next time and see if he stops
This is the way. The only way.
what the fuck is this shit normal in IB? why are these comments so nonchalant
It’s a wet willy bro it’s not like the VP killed his dog or something
Relentless
This guy wants wet willies for sure. Big wet willie guy here.
Maybe I’m older so I take less shit but if anyone did that I would hit their hand away and tell them to get their fucking hand out of my ear.
Whatever you do, act fast. Nip this in the bud otherwise pretty soon he’ll be trying to stick it in your hiney
You could report it to HR but that would likely damage your career at that company. I would look for another job. There is no way I would to work for someone that unprofessional.
First time he did it you should've said wtf are you doing - actually. Know some more aggressive people who don't give af and especially in that type of environment next time he does it say what the fuck are you doing and tell him to stop. He'll get the message. Not a professional response but what is he even doing in a workplace setting, that's not appropriate either.
Giving someone wet willies isn't gigachad behavior. It's a try-hard loser's best guess as to what a gigachad might behave like.
Guys who threw MS hate love wet willies
Submissives

No idea what you are talking about. Can someone please clarify what the hec a gigachad means in this industry?
Harassment is words. Giving someone an unwanted wet willy is assault.
The only remedy here is to turn it back on your VP even harder. This is a game of chicken and you can't blink.
The goal here is to make him so uncomfortable that he stops. Then that's where the real game begins. You go harder.
Assert yourself and he'll have to promote you for recognizing the skill it takes to turn something like this back on him in such a relentless fashion. It's fratboy law. Then you will quickly ascend the ranks and become partner by your early-mid 30s.
Congratulations!
Grab his skull next time and take your thumb and press behind his ear. See how he likes that.
is this like a military pressure point?
wtf is a gigachad culture? pls share the group so i can apply
Spit in his mouth
Hot
Punch him in the d$ck. He will get the message.
I hope this is a joke. Do not let another man bully you at work or worse, put his wet fingers in your ear. Why? Because you weaken your sense of self when you let others mistreat you. This is crazy.
Lol, props for refraining from punching the guy. Idk how you do it
Bend over and pull down your pants next time
Lol this has to be a troll, there can't be some 30yr old VP who's that immature in a post me-too 2024 workplace
