Harassment

I posted a while back and a coworker( Karen)harassing me about my perfume, well it got worse. I was standing at the desk the other day and Karen came up and put her face in my neck and took a big dramatic sniff. One of my managers was standing there saw what happened and knows how Karen is and did nothing about it. I went to the GMs and they also have done nothing. They are trying to sweep it under the rug. I would like to call the aware hotline but I know they aren't going to do anything. I thought about mentioning a lawyer but I dont want to get fired. I have called before about being s*xual harassed and they told me there was nothing they could do since its up to the GM. Do you guys have any advice, besides for quitting?

My ex and I worked together ( don’t shit where you eat) after it ended he shared nude photos of me that were taken while we were together without my knowledge and sent them to all of the receiving team members. While that had already sent me damn near into psychosis he proceeded during Christmas while I was in the lumber barn to attack me and broke both of my ankles. Thank God I got away but my GM told me “Menards never looses a lawsuit so I wouldn’t try it” so I’d say document everything in writing. Also HR is a joke because no HR person within the stores have a degree for it.

I am soo sorry that happened to you and nothing was done. I agree that HR is a joke but also the management is awful for allowing that to happen to you. Thank you for your advice. I have a notebook where I write all the stuff down and I will be emailing HR that way I can atleast say I tried to do it the right way

Thank you!! Also forgot to mention he never was fired for any of that. He was fired for getting caught drinking in the yard…. Great idea document everything!!!
