Was watching the program "We the People" on NDTV some time ago and I must say the topic was rather interesting and informative. For the past few months, I have been plagued with stories about the subject. One such person (have permission to let you in on this)was being harassed by his superior. The person who I speak about is a happily married man. His superior was on his case from the third month on the job and until he performed sexual favors his life was hell. Well cut to the chase, he refused and resigned. His struggles were far from over as bad reference checks made it next to impossible for him to land a job. Finally after a long time, he was able to get something suitable and I must say, he is flourishing in his career.
Another situation, when a female employee had to dance to the bidding of her superior. She refused and tried her best to make sure that she was out of harm’s way for a good two years, until it became impossible for her to continue working. The job brought security to her family as she was the only earning member with three siblings to see through school and college. Thankfully, she landed a better job and is doing phenomenally well now. Neither of them succumbed to this menace. They chose restraint and managed to get away from a creepy boss.
But there are others who are unable to get out of this. I raise the point about innocent professionals who just go to work but get targeted for no fault of theirs. The superior who is in heat, just does not let up – disgusting isn’t it? However, there are the others who really don’t think twice about sleeping their way to the top. But then to each her/his own. Frankly, I prefer living in my world of limited funds but immense self respect. How about you?
