I was sexually harassed by a client’s vendor. I reported it. HR botched it. The HR head asked me why I didn’t stop the situation from happening. They said that it never would have happened to them. They brought up my childhood trauma in front of my boss and he said nothing - “knowing what I know about your home life when you were growing up, it makes sense that you didn’t speak up.” They now are calling me “delicate” to others in the office. Management is oblivious. I’m not sure what to do.

I am so sorry that you experienced this.

Please consult with several plaintiff side employment lawyers to determine how to navigate this.

In case you get locked out of your computer and office if the dispute escalates, be sure to keep copies at home of all relevant documentation — you can print or take photos of your screen.

Just wanted to add that your claim will depend on the legal standards in your jurisdiction, but that generally speaking, 1) the law firm is responsible for harassment by vendors and clients so long as they have notice of it; and 2) the eggshell skull doctrine means the law firm can be liable for your harms no matter your preexisting conditions.

Get a lawyer ASAP and protect yourself. If they’re halfway decent they will get this settled without having to file any official public lawsuits and will secure a settlement agreement guaranteeing neutral references

I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m trying to understand who said what from your prompt - do not use pronouns. Who brought up your childhood trauma and how did they even know your childhood trauma to begin with?

Most of the companies look for JAVA full stack with Angular. And when we encountered with interviews we just got evaluated on JAVA 8, Spring Boot etc. If person having 10+ experience in which first 6-7 years working in Java 7 and since last few years working in Angular still they mentioned our primary is Java and angular good to have.

Being the curious, how could be all skills mentioned in resume would be current skill.

And then ask Java dev to work on angular and they mess up things.
