What is the name of your state? California
I work for a company that is all male besides me. I am the only female in the company. This company consists of 35 employees total.
I was experiencing verbal sexual harassment from our human resources manager last year and had stated twice to my boss that I was not comfortable with the statements this man was making.
Because of the career I have chosen, I am used to working with all men and generally know how to hold my own. In the 15 years I've been in this industry, however, up until now, nothing I had heard ever offended me. But when I arrived at this company there were comments made to me by our human resource/CFO of our company that made me feel uncomfortable. I said something to my boss twice in a period of 6 months that this man was making me feel uncomfortable. I was also experiencing verbal remarks from other men here.
In January it was finally the last straw. The man touched me, not once but twice. I gave the company fair chance to speak with this man. I filed a formal complaint against this man.
They finally looked in to my complaints and as a result this man was fired. It turns out , women in the past at this company had complained about him. I remain at this job, however do not feel any better. Although, I am not experiencing any verbal or physical harassment from anyone here anymore, I feel they have to walk on pins and needles around me. And I am being treated as If I am lucky that I was able to keep my job and they did not dismiss me as well. So at this point, I feel that I am being discriminated against.
I do have everything documented as far as dates and whom, have made these comments going back to last year. At this point, 6 months later, do I have any legal rammifications?
I never expected it to affect me the way it has and it really bothers me to continue to be in this situation.
I am currently looking for a new job, but unfortunately, I cannot afford to quit this job until I have another one.
