Has anyone ever filed a sexual harassment claim towards a manager? My manager sends innapropriate messages and makes innapropriate comments to me as a woman. Everyone is telling me to report it and I am applying to leave anyways but don’t know where I should report everything my manager has done. Would you recommend it? I don’t trust HR but he’s definitely an innapropriate individual and there are two other women in my team he does this to.

I think it might be smart to try and land something else before you report it, but then you report everything. I hate to be cynical but I just wouldn't report it while you're still on the team because retribution could be intense

First of all, make sure you have documented what has been happening. Save the text messages so you'll always have access to them. And talk to someone in upper management or HR. Or, if you feel that's not going to be helpful, just go to a lawyer and explore your options.

This. As much documentation as you can get including video (if possible). Do not discuss with HR until you have discussed with a lawyer. HR is hired by the company to protect the company, not you.

Make sure you have everything documented!! Contact a lawyer and you can probably get a nice settlement out of this and walk away guilt free and on to the next job where you’re not harassed.

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth.
