Workplace harassment

I was harassed by a customer at work 3 years ago and it has ruined my relationship with my boyfriend, friends and family & my life. I’ve been doing pretty well for the last 10 months but recently I’m REALLY struggling. I work in a male dominated industry and it hasn’t been too bad for a while but the only other female I worked with has recently left and now I am the main target for all the (mostly older) men.

Im feeling lately that I need to quit my job but there are no available positions in my town that would suit me and I need to pay my bills.

Ive spoken to my boss and keep him posted on everything that happens/is said but this doesn’t help with the cyclone in my head.

Ive tried therapy before and never found this very helpful.

Im lost at what to do.

Hi K808,

This abuse should never be tolerated. Have you made formal complaints in writing? I wuold suggest, as this continues, to seek legal advice, these are grounds for getting compensation.

I hope things work out for you.

Peace and love,

MMS/Scott.
