My boss is harassing me. Should I resign?

Guo Lin, a former employee of an ordinary company, later came to Qichuang Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. to do sales. The new company has a lot of business, and Guo Lin is beautiful and has strong working ability. Slowly, more and more business was handed over to her.

However, this kind of happiness soon encountered "sexual harassment" from superiors.

One day in February 2008, when Guo Lin was working hard on the computer, his superior leader Jim suddenly ran to her desk, put one hand around her neck and the other hand in the wrong place, and sexually harassed Guo Lin.

In the face of this sudden move, Guo Lin froze.

After a while, she struggled to break free and got under the table. Jim has been calling her. Colleague Kobayashi saw this scene and felt very sorry for Guo Lin. He dragged Jim away on the grounds of work problems.

After this incident, Guo Lin left a shadow in her heart.

She no longer wears a skirt to work, and she is always on tenterhooks when she works in the office. If a colleague pats her, she will suddenly jump up and have nightmares every night.

Even so, Guo Lin didn't also the way. She can't lose this job. Some time ago, she and her husband just bought a house with a loan, and her mother was often ill. This generous salary is very important to her.

Guo Lin thinks that since she can't be transferred to another office, she will try not to stay alone with Jim.

But unexpectedly, Jim never gave up and waited for the opportunity to "lay hands on" her.

One day, Guo Lin got a call from Jim. Jim told her to go to his office at once. He has some work problems to talk with her. And then I hung up.

Guo Lin is very reluctant, but because Jim is the superior and because of her work, she dare not disobey. But Jim locked the door as soon as she walked into Jim's office.

Guo Lin shouted and asked him what he wanted to do. Without saying anything, Jim jumped on Guo Lin and cornered Guo Lin, his body clinging to Guo Lin.

He told Guo Lin that he would give her all the business of the company and promise her everything as long as he followed him.

Guo Linyi told Jim that she was married and asked him to show some respect. However, Jim didn't take her words to heart at all. His hand touched uneasily and his mouth fell on Guo Lin's face.

Just when someone knocked at the door, Guo ran out of Jim's office and shouted:

Guo Lin has been feeling sick since this incident, but she can't spit it out. Moreover, she often has nightmares, which seriously affects her normal life and work.

On second thought, Guo Lin felt that she couldn't give in any more. The more she gave in, the more arrogant Jim became.

So she carefully read the company's relevant complaint regulations, spent a few hours, wrote a complaint letter and sent it to the human resources director by email.

After reading the email, the human resources director printed it out and gave it to Jim, and told him to solve the matter well.

When Jim saw the letter of complaint, he flew into a rage and threw it on Guo Lin's desk, saying that since Guo Lin couldn't stand him, he would go to the branch.

In this way, Guo Lin was sent to Dongguan. Guo Lin's home is in Guangzhou. She left her family for Dongguan. She is a stranger and very lonely. There is almost no business in Dongguan, and Guo Lin's income has also dropped sharply.

One day after three months in Dongguan, Guo Lin received a phone call from her husband. The husband said that Xiao Ting's mother was ill and asked Xiao Ting to come back quickly. Xiao Ting immediately asked Dongguan manager for leave, but the manager couldn't make a decision. He had to ask Jim for leave.

Helpless, Guo Lin called Jim to ask for leave, hoping to get his permission. Unexpectedly, Jim said that because Guo Lin called him and begged him, Guo Lin could go back to work in Guangzhou.

Guo Lin thought that after returning to Guangzhou, she would not be harassed again. Unexpectedly, Jim became more and more arrogant.

On the day of the company reception, Jim cuddled with her in front of everyone and put his hand on Guo Lin's chest unscrupulously, which led to the scene at the beginning of the article.

After returning home, Guo Lin didn't go to work for two days in a row and felt that he was the biggest shame. She must sue Jim to the company, demand a written apology from the company and promise that Jim will never sexually harass her again. The director of human resources immediately started this matter and held a prosecution meeting. That day, the president also came.

Jim explained that he was only joking with Guo Lin, because he didn't understand the differences between eastern and western cultures and concepts. Unexpectedly, this made Guo Lin feel uncomfortable.

Guo Lin angrily refuted Jim, saying that Jim's behavior was not once or twice, but real sexual harassment, not a cultural and conceptual problem between East and West.

Jim turned on the spot and firmly denied that he had done similar behavior before.

The company also sided with Jim and asked Guo Lin to forgive Jim and not to leave a stain on his career in China.

Guo Lin never agreed. Finally, the HR director got angry and told Guo Lin that if she was not satisfied with the company's leadership, she could resign.

Guo Lin never thought it was Jim's fault, but why did it turn out to be hers? So Guo Lin went to a law firm to consult a lawyer.

The lawyer told her that if Jim really sexually harassed her, then Jim needed to compensate Guo Lin for her mental loss. But we need proof.

Guo Lin then found her colleague Kobayashi, hoping that he could testify for himself in court. But Kobayashi is embarrassed because he will work in the company in the future and testify against his superiors in court. How will he survive in the company in the future?

Guo Lin understood Kobayashi's difficulties very well, and no longer forced Kobayashi. She dug up the previous information of her mobile phone and found two yellow jokes that Jim sent her. In addition, Guo Lin also received a phone call from a former colleague of the company and learned that the company was investigating her.

It seems that the company must be ready to fire her. Although there is no more evidence, in desperation, Guo Lin can only risk the failure of the lawsuit and take the company and Jim to court, demanding that the company and Jim * * * compensate mental damage compensation.

Jim pleaded not to admit that he sexually harassed Guo Lin. We are all of the same age. Sending a yellow message to Guo Lin is a joke, which does not prove that it is sexual harassment.

The company also argued that it did not agree with Guo Lin's request, because the company was an enterprise legal person, not the subject of infringement, and the subject was wrong.

The company has implemented a series of measures to prevent sexual harassment. If the office is open and everyone has no secrets, it is enough to prevent sexual harassment. In addition, the company has received a lawsuit from Guo Lin, and has held a prosecution meeting and actively handled it.

In the first trial, the situation was extremely unfavorable to Guo Lin. Yellow jokes are not enough to prove that Jim sexually harassed her, so he must look for new evidence.

Just when Guo Lin was in a hurry, her colleague Xiaolin agreed to provide evidence. It turned out that Kobayashi was a photographer who was responsible for shooting the whole reception on the day of the reception and captured many shots. There happened to be a photo of Jim grabbing Guo Lin from behind and strangling her.

Things are getting better and Jim has nothing to say.

The court ruled that in this case, the photos provided by Guo Lin were enough to reflect that Jim did sexually harass Guo Lin, and his behavior was obviously improper, which violated Guo Lin's personality right. At the discretion of the court, Jim was awarded a compensation of 3,000 yuan for Guo Lin's mental damages. The company has established the necessary system, fulfilled the corresponding management obligations, and will not bear joint and several liabilities.

Although Guo Lin won the lawsuit, she was still unhappy. 3000 yuan is just Jim's salary for a few days, which is really too cheap for him. Fortunately, Guo Lin won the lawsuit. She thinks Jim and the company will take a warning. Unexpectedly, however, what was waiting for her was a more cruel blow.

After finishing the lawsuit, she received a letter from the company. She thought it was an apology letter, but when she opened it, she found it was a notice from the company to terminate the labor contract with her.

The reason why the company fired her turned out to be that Guo Lin was absent from work on 26th and 27th, which constituted a serious violation of discipline.

Guo Lin was puzzled. These two days happened to be the end of the company reception, but she clearly wrote a leave note and sent an email to the company on the grounds of physical discomfort. Guo Lin thinks that the company must be shielding Jim and deliberately persecuting her.

Guo Lin went to see a lawyer with this notice of dissolution. The lawyer told her that if the company was illegally dissolved, Guo Lin had two choices. The first is to cancel this decision and continue to work in the company. The second is not to go back to work and ask the company to make economic compensation.

Guo Lin thinks it is unrealistic to find a job in the company now. She doesn't want to see Jim again, and she doesn't want to go back to the place where she has nightmares. She will defend her legitimate rights and interests through labor arbitration and demand compensation from the company.

Guo Lin thinks that she is not absent from work, and she has asked for leave for two days according to the company statement. Now that she has printed this webpage, the absenteeism mentioned by the company does not exist, and the dissolution is illegal and should be compensated.

The company argued that it did not recognize Guo Lin's statement. According to the company's attendance record, Guo Lin did miss two days. According to the company's employee handbook, it is only effective for employees to take two or more days off, fill out a written leave form and report it to the supervisor and the president for approval.

At present, Guo Lin is absent from work, has not filled in the leave slip, and has not fulfilled the company's leave formalities. Therefore, the company's dissolution decision is legal and effective. The labor contract between the company and Guo Lin has been terminated, and Guo Lin's request is not allowed.

Guo Lin complained that she had never read this employee handbook since she joined the company. The company must have compiled it recently, in order to win the lawsuit and cover up Jim, so this manual can't be recognized. Besides, everyone in the company always asks for leave by email and never fills in a written leave form.

The company argues that the employee handbook has been published on the company's website, and Guo Lin should know about it.

The Arbitration Commission ruled that although the employee handbook was published on the company's website, the company could not produce evidence to prove that the employee handbook had been informed to the workers, so the President's Committee ruled that the company should pay Guo Lin compensation.

Guo Lin won two lawsuits. To Guo Lin's delight, in the process of litigation, she got the understanding of her family and the attention of the media, and many people silently supported and encouraged her behind her back. She's not alone. She has done justice for women who have been sexually harassed.

Jim had to leave the company and China under the pressure of strong public opinion. Guo Lin's life is back on track, and she finally stopped having nightmares.
