Leaving For Las Vegas?
I flew out to Las Vegas to interview for a position with US Vets. They're a very stable company and I'd be career counseling again. They offered me the job and I really want to take it, but the salary is very low. Right now I'm in litigation with the company I work for, and I'm hoping I will get a settlement for being sexually assaulted at work. I feel for any survivor of rape or abuse. The shame that comes along with guilt and depression is really overwhelming. I was at a place where I felt like I couldn't go on anymore. My place of employment was terrible to me after I reported the incident. Even though I was actively being stalked by our participant, they didn't offer me any sort of protection. The big slap in the face came when we received an email stating that they would be keeping the "Corporate doors," shut at all times for security reasons. I had asked to have my office changed so that I was more secure and they refused to help me out. They would do something as simple as changing my extension.
After I made the requests and the requests were denied, I received a call from our ex participant. He had been released from jail and it is my opinion that he called me to lay a guilt trip on me for reporting the incident. I think that the situation could have been handled in a different manner, but he broke the stipulations of his parole. Now I have a detective from the VA police who wants to arrest him for stalking and for sexual abuse. I was never told by my work to go to the VA police and finally a coworker told me that they were in our facility and that I need to talk to them. It turns out that my work should have directed me to see them immediately. I believe that my attorney is suing for sexual harassment and neglect. I was also harassed after the incident by a case manager who had my cell phone number. He started sending me racy messages and I wondered if he had heard about what had happened to me. I have a "no contact," order against our ex client and I haven't heard from him lately. I am still fearful that he will find me, and that's part of the reason I'm leaving for Vegas.
