after a 4 month long HR investigation, my sexual harasser has been dismissed

i had a loved one pass within this time frame too so this is pretty amazing news to hear. it’s been a horrible couple of months. i’ve had 5 separate interviews with HR, i’ve been accused of assaulting my harasser (that did not happen and thankfully was easy to prove) and i’ve had several of his friends at work turn on me and spread rumours about me

i’ve been called a snitch and a ‘fucking bitch’ for taking his job away and that’s only the parts i’ve heard. god knows what has been said about me behind my back. everyone knows it’s me and has been giving me a wide berth

but it was so incredibly worth it. this is the first time i’ve ever defended myself against a sexual predator and i am so so proud of myself. it was agonising and it took so much out of me. but it’s all over. he’s gone
