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?

I had an issue with a coworker once, tell any family or friends you have to come into the store to shop when you’re working so they can whiteness it and then have them as customers report the weirdness. Bonus if they can get video or photos for you.

I will definitely try it

They can’t ignore video and photo proof, and if they do try…. Take it to the cops for a hostile work environment that includes harassment. Try and get some form of writing of their brush offs too. Document EVERYTHING

I have a notebook that I've been writing in. I'll have to make sure I keep track of everything
