fuck. ok here goes. a male supervisor was harassing me. i wont even go into detail with what he said, but he was particularly fixated on my bathroom breaks and if what i was wearing got wet when i did dishes. i told my manager and he responded with essentially the following words, "if this has been going on for over a month why didnt you report it earlier? you're not exactly perfect. youve been showing up late and your work is suffering. btw it's best to keep hr out of this because we have a specific protocol for these issues and I am going to handle it."
l went directly to hr. meanwhile i didn't work for a week because they wanted me to work with him and i couldn't do it anymore. ultimately he was fired when hr discovered that i was one of several women who had filed a complaint about him. but still, everything went downhill from there. i took on all of his duties on top of my own, with no additional compensation. it was more or less expected of me to pick up his slack. then rumors about me being a slut and having sex in the back office started circulating. the anxiety got overwhelming. i lost time and money and couldn't make rent anymore even though i was working myself half to death. it got harder for me to keep it together and go to work. i got fired a little over month later. the way it went down was everything that i was afraid would happen and more. i still have creepy nightmares about that guy. i am afraid i will regret posting this.
