According to the BBC survey, 63% of women who had been harassed in their workplace didn’t file a report. While the numbers of women who choose to stay quiet after being victimized are alarming, the more worrisome fact is that harassment at work is still rampant. But it’s time for the tide to turn. It’s 2022, and we stand against bullies or harassers and take the wind out of their sails.
Recently, a Reddit user, Anubis3210, shared a story on the Malicious Compliance subreddit about how she taught her terrible boss a lesson and maliciously complied with his offer to sue him. The boss continued to single the woman out and said she should stop dressing the way she did (think oversized-tee and leggings) because it would “lead to men harassing [her].”
When the Original Poster had had enough, she threatened to sue the boss if he continued taunting her. He responded, “go ahead,” and that she “would never get a dime from the company.” As the outcome of the story shows, the woman did sue him and ultimately received the money, which was much more than just a dime.
