Antiwork

I don’t even know what to do anymore.

So I work at a kayak company for the summer to take a break from working at Starbucks (because I absolutely hate it).

I told him yes and he said “good girl, good girl..” in a really gross, praising type way. One of the reasons I needed a break from Starbucks was because I’ve experienced sexual harassment like this and working with the general public I was exposed to creeps every day. I also have PTSD from a SA that happened a few years ago so now I’m at this new job that was going so well until the past few weeks and especially this morning. What do I do, we don’t have an HR department, it’s a small business and my other boss is my main boss’s best friend so I feel like I can’t speak up. What do I do?
