Sexually assaulted and harassed in a “family friendly” restaurant
Establishment: National Chain To Be Named
Location: Bethesda
I was groped, restrained, sexually touched and verbally harassed while working for a national chain that prides itself on a family friendly atmosphere. I reported the abuse to every manager I worked with. I reported to the Regional Manager and then the Regional Vice President. Nothing happened except that the abuse got worse. I resigned and filed a complaint with the EEOC. The chain responded that I hadn’t communicated the problem to the "correct" manager. I firmly believe that if I tell anyone in a position of responsibility that I am being assaulted and harassed the problem should be taken care of IMMEDIATELY.
I received a letter today, 11 months later, that says the EEOC have found in my favor. If anyone wants advice on how to hold these people responsible let me know. I may be inclined to reveal the name of the chain in coming days.
You really should reveal the name of this national chain as well as the specifics regarding exactly what happened and the steps you took to rectify the situation. It might help someone else who finds himself/herself in a similar situation.
