[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer questions...
Yes they got a reference from the harasser--he gave a glowing one as he should have done. I did excellent work and all my written reviews were stellar. He did not try to derail this in any way.
Yes I talked to HR after I had the offer 
I was very undramatic and all business about it, framed it as a statement "given the history I assume I will not ever be expected to report to x." I did not have to state the history, they acknowledged there had been issues. No one labeled it for what it was. It was clear we all were looking forward but I would have some protections in place. Hope that helps.

You sound like a rockstar OP.  The one thing I WOULD still be wary of is why they kept your harasser on even though the incident was well known and he should have been fired. Has he continued his pattern? As we know now from the headlines, these guys are not "one and done." They tend to be serial harassers.  And the "stars" are given a lot of leeway.  This may not impact you directly (because you're a rockstar and he apparently knows his place with you now) but it's something to keep in mind.  That said, maybe there were extenuating circumstances on his part (alcohol? personal stress? legitimate crush on you?) that made it a one-off. It's hard to tell.  But the good thing is that the fact that the company reached out to you AND HIRED YOU BACK shows that they are at least somewhat confident they can manage the complications. Either that or the place is a mess.  Who knows!  Good luck!   [/quote]
