California | Sexual Harassment
Legal Question
can I take action against my co-worker and not the employer
I recently experienced a period of 6 months were
my boss would touch me and ask me for sexual favors.I reported this to my employer and after several meetings and discussion they decided to transfer me
to another location.I became upset with this transfer and they allowed me to return to my job. My boss was
demoted and trasferred out to another location. The
problem is that I see him at company meetings and he
calls on the phone to my branch. He has told my present co-workers things that are true and damaging
to my reputation.I feel that if I were a women my male
boss would have been terminated,for touching me when
I requested for him to leave me alone several times.I am also gay so I don't think my employer supports my
true story.I left with a mountain of depression and
feeling totally disrespected.When I see him at company
trainings I feel like he is laughing in my face. He
reall hurt me and I feel like he should have been terminated. He has been with the company for a long
time and use to work with the owner when the company was smaller.I would feel better if he was terminated
for mistreating me. I am very professional and know
to always display good character in the work place.
