Hello!
I could use some prayer for a situation at my job that I am not sure how to deal with exactly.
I have a co-worker with whom I share a room who is 100% a party-er and womanizer. Almost every day he's telling about his latest "adventures" and my Christian boss has overheard some of those conversations and has said nothing to him...
This co-worker knowingly breaks company rules regarding phone use in order to stay in touch with multiple women during the day and once so far has showed me a photo of some woman almost exposing herself by pulling down the top of her shirt. I haven't yet said anything about those things.
This guy is new and I've been at the company a year now. So technically I should certainly be in the position to report this, however I get the impression everyone thinks he's more responsible than I am because he is loud and very confident in himself. And he hides his rule-breaking carefully. On the other hand, I am quiet and prone to second-guessing myself. Plus, since it is just me and him in our department it will be very hard to report him because he will immediately know who it was that "tattled", thus ruining our work relationship... :\ I've already told my co-worker that I reported someone at a previous job and I could technically report him, too. But that did absolutely nothing.
To make matters worse, there is a delivery man who comes to pick up our packages in the evening and he usually takes his "lunch break" in our room while we finish up. Lately he has been bringing his phone with him to show photos of women to my co-worker. Today he tricked me into looking at a photo on his phone which was of a naked person laying on a bed... I laughed, but felt sick inside...
I really only laughed because I didn't know how to respond.
I think my co-worker and this delivery man are intentionally trying to draw me into their lifestyle even though they know I am a Christian (or at least more moral than they are...). They more or less said as much. Meanwhile, my boss is either oblivious (which I doubt) or has decided to leave me alone in this battle (which is more likely).
So I'm not sure what to do. If my Christian boss doesn't help me out and address this (at the very least enforce the company rule) then reporting my co-worker or complaining about the delivery man seems pointless. Maybe he'd respond, but even if he did I might as well look for a new job because of the anger it would cause...
Please pray that God will act in this situation and remove me from these temptations and/or bring these things to my boss' attention if he isn't actually aware of what's going on. I don't want to see any more photos of naked people or sexual selfies! But I'm trapped in this room with this guy for 10 hours a day five days a week...
Thanks
