I was fired after reporting (many,many times) SH. I was broke, unable to afford an attorney (because I was FIRED-go figure), and had a big strike against my resume. It still haunts me to this day. If I had read this 3 years prior I would have sucked it up long enough to save money for an attorney, find another job and quit that blasted place!! The people posting negative comments about you have no idea what they are talking about. Keep up the good work. Maybe you can save someone from getting into the situation I ended up in.

Sheesh. The good news is that I'm learning from this experience, thinking about how I can communicate for a broader audience, etc. It was a good learning experience. @Lexy Thank you.

Once one commenter went off the deep end everyone starts responding to their point instead of the matter at hand.

I knew there would be SOME, but I didn't expect so many to miss the point entirely. It's a shame, because that's really, really important advice that people needed to hear. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make 'em drink, y'know? I was shocked at those comments. I knew there would be SOME, but I didn’t expect so many to miss the point entirely.

He is so amazing. ;) @Breanne Thank you! xo @Shelley Thanks so much for being new and leaving a comment. Awesome! @Lisa Thank you, too. Some of the stories in the comments were sad. People under great duress at work. Shoot, I understand that hostile work environments aren't always a work issue -- they are a people issue. Some people just need a good kick in the head. @Jenn I think Triumph should be the next president of SHRM. He is so amazing. ;)
