Politics is very bad and needs to imporve

This list is hard because it brings back a lot of awful memories, but I'm writing it because I don't want another person to experience what I did. Both bosses - the company owners - were completely inappropriate. What do I mean by this? One time I was washing my dishes from lunch at the end of a very long day, which is normal and expected, and suddenly I heard a voice that said "Would your husband be mad if he knew you could feel me?" He came up from behind me, put his arms around my waist and saddled his private parts against mine. You might ask why I tolerated this? I didn't, but at the time I was very much dependent on that job and salary, and I was afraid to go to HR for fear that retaliation would be losing my job. There were other less obvious sexual harassment, such as very long hugs, shoulder rubs, winking at me and just plain flirting. Aside from this, you were routinely asked to handle so much work that you were often there past midnight on a daily basis. I became very familiar with the ins and outs of government contracting because I was forced to teach it to myself in order to keep up, but at what cost? To this day, it remains the worst professional experience of my life.
