When I was a sophomore in High School, two guys whom I thought were my friends began making comments about my figure and how I was just really gorgeous.

I am a 23 year female living in south Florida. I endured 5 months of harassment before I turned the creep into my managing director.

I applied for employment with the ******* School System as a Custodial Supervisor. My husband is a 100% Disabled Vietnam Combat Veteran so I was entitled to a 10 point Spouse Preference. The School Board refused to grant the 10 point preference, because I am a female, and I was told the school […]

I’ve been unlucky enough to be stalked twice.
The first was a fellow student in college piano class. His parents knew mine, but I was unaware of his existence beyond the kid that sat at the back. His father came in where my mother worked, excited that this guy and I were going […]

Gave Into the Harassment, Colorado
I am scared. I have an appointment with the EEOC tomorrow. My biggest fear is that after being harassed for over a year and 1/2, I gave in and had sex with him twice. After the constant day to day to day, “Go out with me,” whining if I didn’t, […]

I was at a conference for work at a casino with several co-workers. A few of us were in the lounge of the casino having a few drinks together. I decided that it was late and I wanted to go to bed.
At that time a supervisor decided to do the same and […]

Don’t wait to talk

Alexa, Virginia
Well, it all started when I got a job at a car dealership. Within the first month, a man was fired for putting his hands around my waist, and then moving his hands to my butt. This instance was handled quite quickly.
But that’s not where it ended…The general manager (GM) as well as […]

Robin, Commerce Michigan
I was grabbed around the waist very tightly and then my breast was touched. He made a comment about my breasts and then laughed.
I reported it to my supervisor and the company did nothing. I wrote a formal complaint and asked for something to be done. When I sought legal advise, […]

When I started working for a local chiropractor as the receptionist at the front desk, I knew from the very start that I would have a hard time pleasing my employer, simply because he was a “military” man and I could kind of tell from the beginning that he was a control freak. […]
