Sexual Harassment Stories and Experiences

Monica, Midwest USA   

     My boss approached me asking if I was single, stating it  was ok to mess around even if I was not.  I dismissed his charges, and  then was sanctioned twice for issues I had with the computer system, which were not my fault at work over the next two weeks.  My boss refused  to stand up for me, even though I had told him the computer problem, he stated that he could not remember me reporting a problem.

     I have now reported this issue to the manager above my supervisor.  I’m afraid of getting fired.  I was forced to name witnesses of the  incident, and they will be asked about it.  I know that my supervisor is  sleeping with several of my co-workers, and I am afraid that no one will  believe me, or that my witnesses will not take my side.  I feel very isolated and alone.
