I had such a stressful end of last week. Been dealing with a co-worker sexually harrassing me and another colleague for months. By the time it got bad and I recognized and that it was indeed that kind of harrassment I spoke to my manager that works in the office with us. I told her I was uncomfortable and afraid to work around this guy. To which she tried to downplay it, leaving a sour taste in my mouth but she said she'd deal with it. Skip to 3 weeks later and this guy got super creepy with the two of us being targeted right in fucking front of her. She did not deal with it.
I was absolutely floored and at that point told him off and my co worker also had to when he made a gross remark at her. The worst part is that my manager sat there and said nothing, no reprimand, completely gutless and enabling piece of garbage. The guy even tried to fucking say it was a joke.
I said enough of this shit, went above her head and contacted the owner who is the next point of contact and sent them both a very detailed email. He was absolutely appalled by the way, (lives away so he doesn't see the daily ins and outs of our office) and called us immediately. Took the creep off staff that day and is reviewing his workplace harassment policy.
I'm just so fucking pissed and defeated right now. Monday has come around and she's acting like nothing fucking happened, no call, email or even text in apology over the weekend and nothing today on how she's moving forward to fix her error as she basically enabled this person.
So what, I report this creep harrassing us and simultaneously call her out and there's no fucking human decency here? No are you okay after that experience, or yeah I fucked up and failed to protect you, I want to develop myself as a human so this never happens again and I can be a better manager. Its so selfish and lots of people have to put up with this crap.
I want to just fucking walk away from this job, pick up the phone, call her and rip into her and throw it all away. Its also enraging because its a tough job market at the moment and I've worked hard for my job and I shouldn't have to walk away from this but it's also hard to ignore this isn't the only issue of workplace toxicity and I don't know how I need to come to terms with things.
I have a feeling most of you would tell me I need to leave, otherwise how can I have my own self respect…
