I am so sorry that this is happening to you at work. If I were you I would stand my ground and not let them bully you into silence. I know how horrible it is to go to work and be subjected to these conditions as I was just there not all that long ago.
It has been one year since I reported sexual harrassment by the CEO of the company that I use to work for toward someone under me that reported his behavior. I was put into a position that I knew would make me lose my job but if I didn't report what was going on and she went with it further they would have pointed the finger at me. Not only was I retaliated against, my hours were cut and I was eventually fired for this complaint. This horrible man went around and told everyone that was still working for him that if they didn't like what he was doing he would get rid of them too. I just found out Friday that the EEOC complaint that I file is being dismissed.
They never even spoke to any of the witnesses and left me a VM that the complaint was unfounded. I spoke to 2 different attorneys and they both felt I had a very good case but wanted a $5000 retainer which of course not being employed I could not afford. I just don't understand how this could be allowed to happen when I went to a federal agency for help. I just recently went back to work for a competing company but I lost an entire year of wages over this jerk and I am worried if he finds out I am working for his competition he will go after me legally.
If you would like to talk about it more I have a great listening ear and would be a willing support system. Please feel free to PM me anytime.
You poor thing.
