Comments on: Don't report sexual harassment (in most cases) http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2006/11/02/dont-report-sexual-harassment-in-most-cases/ Advice at the intersection of work and life Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:34:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Cheryl Ahmed http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2006/11/02/dont-report-sexual-harassment-in-most-cases/comment-page-1/#comment-222493 Cheryl Ahmed Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:00:21 +0000 http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2006/11/02/dont-report-sexual-harassment-in-most-cases/#comment-222493 I agree, MLM. HR will only come down on the sexual harasser if the company didn't like him in the first place. In that case, the victim's complaint serves as ammunition to bolster their case against him. If they like you both equally, they will just say they have no evidence, then let it go, leaving the victim a target for retaliation. If the company likes the harasser better than the victim, or the harasser is in a higher position, the victim is screwed. They will start finding fault with her work, assign her unpleasant work, move her to small, cramped desk, and doing everything to get her to quit. Formerly friendly coworkers see how the company is treating her and will want to distant themselves from her for the sake of their own careers. I agree, MLM.

If you ever read the employee document when you signed up for the job, you find out that its really not in your favor. At the end of the day, its just a job, you're being paid for being away from your life, no one said you will enjoy it, in most cases.

You can file with EEOC about sexual harassment,Retaliation and more. I have been a victim of sexual harassment by my company and yes they retaliated against me and fired me. Compass group HR did not care. I was a victim of my co-workers stealing from my purse and more. They are still working for Compass and I was fired. I filed with EEOC and they are investigating. My boss and co-workers did the sexual harassing. I am not gonna stop until this kind of harassment stops. No you are wrong. You can file with EEOC about sexual harassment,Retaliation and more.
