It is the most lonely feeling being harassed at work.

I put up with it for years before saying anything because I felt like it was my fault and it was my burden to bear.

This is death, sex, and money.

Oh my God, where do I even begin?

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.

I don't want anyone to ever have to go through that again.

And need to talk about more.

It's terrible. It's unhealthy and it's toxic and it also feels normal.

I'm in a sale.

So the first time it happened to me, I was working in a restaurant, and one of the chefs told me that he would fuck me if he caught me in the walk-in alone. A few weeks ago on the show,

we talked about harassment and bullying at work. I talked about the things I shouldn't have put up

with that jobs I've had, and I asked for your stories in the form of 30-second voice memos. And the last time it happened to me was about six

months ago when a married coworker of mine took me out for a friendly drink and tried several

times to kiss me. When I tried to grab the bill and leave, he told me that I was being uptight

and that this is how he treats all of his friends.

I also asked you for the advice you'd give your younger self now, looking back on bad experiences you've had on the job.

If I could go back, I would just tell myself that I'm allowed to be angry about it. I have a right to be angry about it.

I've always been more concerned for the other person.

I didn't want to do anything to get them fired or get them in trouble.

I feel like up until very recently there was a pretty serious stigma for being the person that complained,

and I didn't want that held against me.

It doesn't matter what you do for work.
