[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry that happened to you. Who assaulted you, was it a coworker? How did your employer handle?[/quote]

I was assaulted by an outside contractor.  I reported it to my boss and he did nothing for three weeks.  He told me to handle it.  I got fed up and went to HR myself.  They said they'd get back to me a week later and never did.

I was sexually abused as a 10 yr old and reported it, but people did nothing and the abuse continued.  The response to the assault was more upsetting than the assault because it reminded me of being 10 again.

I'm so, so, sorry. Wishing you the best of luck.

And with those facts I REALLY think you need to see a lawyer. They might be liable for the assault. Or the contractor may be. Or both. You could receive a settlement. This isn't just an employment issue anymore. Even if this appointment happens, it is not too late to see an attorney.[/quote]

Exactly. They are trying to find a way to not be liable for the assault. OP, they are not looking out for you here. You are talking about needing treatment for trauma -- they might be liable for that. You should not be paying for that if they are responsible. Please, please, please find a way to talk to a lawyer before you do this "evaluation." [/quote]

+1. In my experience HR is only interested in protecting the company. I’m so so sorry for what you are going through. It is not your fault. Please look into getting some legal advice so you can protect yourself and hopefully prevent retraumatization.[/quote]
