What is the name of your state? Michigan
Here goes....
We are/were friends with another couple. Our husbands work together. My friend let's say "A" (the wife) told me about a picture that another friend had found in her husband's glove box. The other friend's husband is a truck driver and frequently takes pictures of women who will flash him on the road. My friend "A" said they were looking through them together and one of the pictures looks nearly identical to me. Also similar vehicle except for a few things like the seat style and harley stickers. Well my friend A asked if it was me and it definitely was not and told her so.
Well I never mentioned it to my husband because I didn't think much of it. Funny coincidence maybe but that's it. This was just before Labor Day weekend. Well the husband of our friendly couple "B" took the picture to his work (and my husband's work) on the Tuesday. Behind my husband's back B passed the picture around the workplace passing it off as me not as someone who looks like me among apx. 25 people. B also added a fictitious but nasty story about me and the truck driver to go with the picture.
The picture and story were passed around the workplace for several days until a couple people alerted my husband of what was happening. My husband asked for the picture which was never produced.
Also one of the people who alerted my husband as to what was happening, beforehand had asked a higher up what to do(tell my husband or not)...and the higher responded "Leave me out of it."
In the waake of everything I am highly embarrassed and upset. My husband is embarrassed and has to deal with the snickering behind his back at work and sometimes directly rude comments. I am also a contractor for this business and am worried about my future business with them. And what scares me most is the fact that I will possibly be teaching in a school district in which many of these men work. I am very worried that this will affect my future career.
Any advice I would very much appreciate. I don't know what this is:sexual harassment, slander? But I do appreciate any advice and if you need more information than I gave please let me know.
Thank You!
