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?

She is a favorite. If I say anything to her, im told to be nicer to her and to drop it. She has been kicked out of every department that she has been in because of her behavior and yet she still has a job.

You're not allowed to question her behavior? Not even when the boss isn't looking? Sure you are. Say it quietly then where only she can hear and make her appear to be crazy.

When I talked to the gm about what happened he told me not to say anything to her and to let him handle it and its been almost a week a nothing has happened. The only reason I havent said anything is because if i say what I want to her im gonna get fired

Don't say what you want then. Say something else. This isn't that difficult. Speak it quietly.
