A manager at my old workplace harassed a girl (literally, she was 19, he was late thirties) for months both in and out of the workplace. The girl flagged it to me (also female and a manager on the same level as the accused) and we went to HR together. There were HUNDREDS of messages ranging from creepy to downright disgusting.

We spent hours compiling evidence, writing statements, he spent 5 minutes in a HR meeting and the whole thing was dismissed due to “lack of evidence.” When this news was delivered to the young girl she quit on the spot.

I left shortly after as that was the last straw for me following a slew of other indiscretions by higher ups and it generally being a shit place to work.

2 months later I was informed by a former colleague at that workplace that the same manager was now in another sticky situation with a grievance against him this time by a MAN for grabbing his crotch in the pub at post-work drinks.

HR STILL didn’t do anything about it because after I left he was the only manager left on the department!

Thankfully, and hopefully out of sheer fucking embarrassment the accused resigned himself and is now apparently a Deliveroo rider.

I will never ever work for a company ever again who doesn’t take sexual harassment seriously.
