Finally, today was officially my last day at my toxic af job of 2 years. 2 yrs of being harassed by my boss. 2 yrs of being punished for saying no to his proposal. 2 yrs of being repeatdely pursued, bullied, gaslighted & belittled by him because his ego couldn& #39;t take the refusal.
Msgs, forced gifts (that I never took), constant sexual objectification, vile remarks, stares, tantrums if he saw a guy calling me, trash talk behind my back abt my character, getting my pics without my consent - all this bcz he didn& #39;t accept a no & was in a position of power.
Everytime I didn& #39;t reciprocate his interest, my life was literally made hell. I told my manager multiple times. I filed complaints. I called on an inquiry. I reported his behavior to the highest authority but NOTHING happened despite everyone knowing the kind of asshole he was
No action against perpetrators means you& #39;re protecting them & telling the victims they don& #39;t matter. Silence around abuse allows it to propagate.

The guy never even got a warning, instead, was promoted. THIS, the absence of consequences, was why harassment continued unabated.
I was, however, told I needed to be strong enough to deal with this.

Sorry but women don& #39;t need to suffer to prove how strong they are. Our strength is NOT proportional to our endurance. Neither should we be constantly tested to see the amount of pain & trauma we can go through.
Anyways, 2 years of harassment, mental stress of always being on my guard, crying in the bathroom, putting up complaints against my boss, getting disappointed with no action, I& #39;ve finally quit & nothing& #39;s been more liberating than leaving a place that shattered my mental health.
