Why do several of my immature Male bosses try to josh at me and tease me (I am a woman)? I have no interest in it?

Why do several of my immature Male bosses try to josh at me and tease me (I am a woman)? I have no interest in it and am actually hurt and offended when they do it. How do I ignore the behavior?

If you told them you don’t appreciate it than that should be enough.
They are in a leadership role and should be conducting them selves as such.
Taking next steps with HR would not be a unreasonable approach depending on the nature of the behavior if not corrected it could warrant disciplinary actions.
I will admit to trying to make a female employee feel more welcome by joking with her like she was one of the guys but when it was obvious she was not interested I stopped immediately.

Should never have begun doing it but good you stopped

[whiskeyontherocks]

Nothing I said was inappropriate for work. Just not her thing. Still anyone should know when to stop when any form of conversation is not well received.

Many at my job DON'T know or don't care and I'm so fed up with it.

[nnalie8273]

It doesn't matter to me if it's inappropriate for work. Bothering women and treating us like you boys treat each other in young immaturity is not appropriate anywhere let alone at work.

If it genuinely bothers you take it up to HR or whoever is higher up in the employment chain. You could ignore it sure, but I don't think that would stop the problem.

You just ignore their behavior, it’s typical for guys to do that

That's how most men show affection, aka, they're trying to keep a good vibe up in their own way.

[TallAnon]

The same way you ignore the whining of kids.
