Re: Should I press charges?

Question

I just put up a question about how I was being sexually and physically and verbally harrassed and I want to use this question to explain everything.

He was constantly asking me out on dates no matter how many times I said no

He was always making himself in my way so he would rub up against me.

He has grabbed me by the throat more than once one of which was seen by a co-worker.

He has asked me very sexual questions such as, how well do you give head and how good are you in bed.

When confronting him about his attitude towards me on the phone he simply used name calling (lazy b itch c unt)

After I told my boss all of these examples her response was... you shouldnt have called him, you're an instigator. And when I gave her my 2 weeks she said well your other co worker is leaving too so I dont care. Now... theres a little more info about the whole thing... and NOW what do you think I should do.?

Answer 1

you should, and turn in your boss for not doing anything about it

Answer 2

I was being sexually harrassed once at a job and reported it to my boss, well the boss didn't do anything because the guy that was doing the harrassing was in a job that no one wanted. I called an agency through the state... can't remember right now which one it was but they said that sexual harrassment was very hard to prove unless you had witnesses. I had witnesses but didn't want them to get involved because they all had families to support. Years later I ran into one of my fellow workers and told him why I had quit and he said I should have said something cause he would have backed me up and there were others as well tht didn't like to boss or the employee who was harrassing me.

Talk to your co-workers and see if anyone would be a witness for you. Every job we quit looks bad on our work history. I've been harrassed in one way or the other in every job I've ever had. Most of it is teasing and I can handle that but when it gets down to rumor spreading, like in my case, or physical abuse, like in your case, this is serious.

I didn't see the first part of your discussion, all I know is what I read here. But from what the state agency told me... probably won't be worth the effort if you don't have a witness.

Answer 3

If your company has a human resources department I would contact them and see if they will take action. If not you might try and talk to your bosses supervisor. If that doesn't work then you should seek the advice of an attorney because not only does your co-worker have an issue but so does the company.

Answer 4

Go to your Human Resource Manager at work and tell them what's been happening and what your boss said about it. If Human Resources doesn't do anything about it talk to a lawyer! Good Luck!

Answer 5

HOLY phuck file a complaint against your boss for not dealing with the matter and then get a restraining order against the guy for harassing you.

Answer 6

Press charges against him and bring civil action against your supervisor/company for enabling him to behave in such a manner.

Answer 7

Get a Lawyer press charges on him sue your ex employer for allowing this in the work place and then sue his sorry *** and good luck he sounds like a real piece of s h i t
