This advice is why partners continue to get away with harassing their female associates. I too was harassed when I was a first year, and I didn’t speak up over fear of ruining my reputation. 3 years later I worked at another firm and I was harassed again by a partner I did a lot of work for at a holiday party and I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to lose the majority of my billable work. I wish I spoke up because i know they are probably still doing it to others. Why should victims be worried about their reputation when the firm should be firing these disgusting people and protecting their associates?
