[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 604213, member: 1514"] I dont know what I would do. I had a situation when was working where two of my supervisors actually basically sexually assaulted me. What happened was someone - I think I know who - complained to my supervisor that I was wearing clothes to work that had holes in them. The fact that this was told after I was at work pretty much gave it away as to who did it. Someone who was a brown-noser. I didnt wear clothes with holes in them. I had caught the pair of pants I was wearing on one of the file cabinet drawers at work but I mended it and no one could have been able to tell. They were black knit pants. My supervisors made me show them my pants...they went so far as to make me pull the crotch of my pants out so they could see that area. There was also the allegation that I wasnt wearing a bra so I had to lift my shirt and show that I did have a bra on. After they were satisfied that there was no hole and I was wearing a bra, they informed me that I was too fat to wear knit pants like that. When I said that plenty of other people wore the same type of pants they told me they werent as fat as me. Trust me, I didnt make enough money to buy an expensive wardrobe and I didnt even deal with the public everyday and if I did, they only saw me from the waist up because I sat behind a desk. By the time this was over and I was sent back to my office I was in tears. In fact I was crying so badly that my office coworker thought someone in my family had died. She was astounded at what happened. It didnt take long for what happened to me to get spread all over the agency. That was embarrassing too. The people who worked in child support said that the county attorney was scared to death I was going to sue them. I did go to a lawyer but that lawyer wanted me to pay upfront and I didnt have the money. I tried other lawyers but they wouldnt touch the case because it was against the county. I decided to let it drop because I knew if I did manage to find a lawyer from outside our county they would find a reason to fire me. I needed my job. I was carrying the insurance on my kids. Also my job was a salaried job and we really needed that money coming in each month because Tony's work had layoff's quite often. So I let it go. Two and a half years later I ended up having to quit that job anyway and by that time it was too late to go after them. I would have had to filed within 2 years. The agency ended up screwing me over anyway in the end. I loved what I did but the people who held the power were idiots. I wish now I had found a way to file that lawsuit because I know the county attorney told other people in private that he couldnt have won it. [/QUOTE]
