[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I chose not to sue, I chose to leave. I take responsibility for that, but that was entirely within my rights and created no extra drama. A drawn out lawsuit would have had much more dramatic punch. Obviously if I totally mishandled it on the professional front, I would not be getting recruited back. I am still not sure I wish I had reported to be honest—I might have gotten nowhere AND damaged my career and reputation. And this is why it sucks to be a woman who is harassed in her place of employment. It’s often a no win situation.[/quote]

Why is suing the ONLY alternative?  You could have called him out, alerted his boss and HR. I am not saying you made a bad choice--you did what YOU needed to do.  We all make choices due to age and maturity levels that we wouldn't necessarily make 5 years later with different support systems.  Own that fight or flight decision. Your interest in returning to this company looks like you are ready for a fight if/when this guy tries it again. There is no way to comfortably return to this company. Move on.[/quote]
