I hate you!

Someone made sh** up and posted it anonymously on a website. Then you read it and felt all mindlessly compelled to help.
I'm sorry this happened to you. That said, no one can make you hide it unless you signed an NDA in exchange for a big fat settlement. Talk about it. Name names. Warn your co-workers that it could happen to them. Ask others for ideas on coping with on-the-job SA. Find a way to tell your story in a few sentences without too much detail about the act itself.
When whoever told you to be quiet comes for you, tell them staying silent when your aggressor wasn't held accountable was ruining your mental health, and talking about it is essential to your recovery. Nothing they can do to you is worse than what you've already endured. You will never be the same again. Use the EAP to see a therapist. Therapists in Beaverton already know, believe me.
You can't go back to your Before life. You can keep it secret, hide it, and feel ashamed when you did nothing wrong, or you can weave this dark thread into your story: You were made to feel powerless and told to shut up. Instead, you took your power back, made a Ted talk out of it, and carried on like the badass survivor that you are.
For the others, that don’t know, it’s like recovering from ra-e.
The last reply makes me really sad. I’m also glad I’m not alone. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. No one understands this pain unless they’ve gone through it. Whoever you are, you’re not alone. Blessings to you! This post makes me cry, literally. Damn it! I’m so sorry! Stay strong!
I lost all respect for The brand after continuous incidents by the “actor” as we are trained to identify them as. That person is still here and promoted up. Protected by their upper buddies. Passion and pride is now a paycheck with me staying in my lane. I take my PTO and won’t lose any of it to them. Great way to drop productivity in supporting toxic work cultures
Funny. Would you have recommended that if I was a woman? Check the history. All of you disgusting. Bye!
Tall to a lawyer, please.
PS: I’m tired of hiding behind a woman’s cloak. Women are your first thought and they are not always the victim. Isn’t that another form of discrimination and subjugation? And a greater subjugation of women? Where does the position on the totem pole end or begin? As----t is as----t. To be silenced as a victim is another form of as----t.
Se-ual as----t is what happened and I’m told to not talk about it. This was a few years ago, but I still have nightmares, anxiety and fear. I feel locked in a dark closet and scared.
Even though the hamburger comment was funny, it’s still makes fun of victims and our experiences. You don’t want to walk this mile; there’s no end.
Me too! Nike keeps making me pay $14 for a mediocre hamburger.
I hate you Nike!
<3 I know this may be hard from some people on here to get but some awful things happen at the swoosh. Whoever you are, wishing you justice and peace
