I need help I worked for a very large company for years when I started o was 325 pounds then I lost 165 pounds and required surgery when I came back lots of comments most not appropriate untill I was finally assaulted at work by co worker tried to forget it cause I knew if I told I would be branded and eventually fired , I was upset and one day told a supervisor friend why I was always nervous or upset ! He followed company policy and reported it ! I was interrogated by two male bosses and was held in office fir hours wasn’t able to leave untill I reveled name one I broke down the bosses told me I was lying the person was a dear friend of theirs ! I was doomed the harassment began immediately I was told not to say anything and they would investigate my harassment began immediately I was tortured fir 5 months and set up on job untill they could justify firing me ! They even let my alleged assailant harass me . This behavior was encouraged I was called a whore denied help denied transfer untill I gave up!
And was terminated ! Right before covid started I need help this company is huge and this is known to happen all the time accused bosses are slapped on wrist while female victim is taken care of ! The supervisor who initially reported was demoted to regular worker also I need help to find lawyer to take my case !

So sorry to hear you've been through this. Please take Emily's advice and look into your legal options as soon as possible. Write everything down, now. Every thing, every date or timeframe, every witness, every single person you spoke with. Write it all down NOW. You are in charge of how you respond to this. I wish you all the strength you need to get through this. You will feel better once you feel like you are in control. Today, now, write everything down for yourself. Then research your legal options and be prepared to share those notes. This is very important.

You will be searching for a Plaintiffs Labor attorney. You can the set up a free consultation to review your claims. The usual process includes an informational consult and if the firm decides to accept your case, the attorney will send you some forms to gather pertinent information. The firm will also send you their Agreement for services that will outline what they provide in the form of representation and the fee structure (usually on a Contingent basis plus expenses )
Good luck and keep us posted.
