Checks and Balances
The head of HR molested me. He used all the wording from the anti-harassment training that he had arranged for the place. At the time, my employer was deciding whether to keep me or can me, and I was very stressed about it. He was the one to decide.
I had a meeting with him about it and he made up a bunch of excuses to keep hugging me. “Ha ha ha, this is OK, right? I have your consent, right? Gotta ask consent! Ha ha ha.” I mean, who do you go to when it’s the head of HR that does this? Oh, but there was a cruel twist.
They had already fired me at that point and he knew it, but he didn’t tell me. We had another meeting with the head of my division a week or so later where they just said, “We aren’t renewing you.”
He then tossed a big envelope across the table with all the unemployment stuff.
