I got sexually harassed on the first day two weeks ago at a marketing firm by the ceo. This was my first role out of college. The ceo started talking to me about how he can’t “relieve himself” because he has hired me to be there full time. In the interview, he picked up my whole body and hurt my back thinking it was a joke. It wasn’t a joke. I am not sure what to do. I dropped the job (no papers were signed as I was supposed to sign them via email that day). He thought I was naive & fragile.

You were employed when he did this? If so, you need to immediately go speak to an employment lawyer.

I’m very sorry you are in this position and that this happened to you. Incredibly inappropriate behavior.

There are attorneys that don't charge unless they win the case. I second the lawyer consultation. I'm sorry for your horrible experience there.

Yes, that ^

How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

There may come the point where constant meetings, being around the same people, or the same environment will cloud your creativity. When this happens, you may need time to yourself in a different environment to think clearly without any disturbance. 

Great ideas can wake you up in the middle of the night, during a shower, while walking in the park, or any other setting outside of a meeting.

Not everyone is a good listener. 

Most people have a habit of listening to find a way to relate your story to their lives and then tell you how it relates.

A small percentage of people will listen to you, show empathy, find ways to help you, cheer you on, and overall, keep the focus on you and your needs. 

Next time you have a conversation, find out who's really listening to you.
