Dear Mayank Sir
I would like to keep my identity a secret.
I am being sexually harassed at work. Once, my boss even kissed me in his cabin.
I was trying to avoid being alone with him as much as possible. Then, because of COVID and work from home, things became better because we not in the same physical location. He tried different ways of troubling me during this time, but I managed.
Now, office has opened and we have to go to work three days a week. I am finding it difficult to avoid him.
I have been looking for another job but nothing is available.
I need my job.
What do I do? Please advise.
Name withheld on request.
Hi.
I am really concerned about your well-being and security.
Prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace is a legal requirement and you must immediately raise the issue with your top management.
Ideally, your company must have an internal complaints committee to handle such complaints.
In case your company is not supportive or does not have internal mechanisms, then you can take help of a lawyer or even the police.
Remember, as a society we need to confront people like your boss else they will be encouraged to harass more women in the future.
Take this head on. The law of the land completely supports you.
Leaving your job is not an option.
