I had my dream job after waiting and looking over 11 years in my field to find what I was great at and loved. I had finally found my purpose and was making a difference.

It was only supposed to be a four to six week temp project assignment, but I accidently created a new position and department and my supervising attorney and one of the partners were posturing to hire me permanently. I was there three months.

From about the third day, one of the mail room guys, a 70 year old Vietnamese man started harrassing me. I don't want to make this really long but he started by propositioning me then always grabbing me, hugging me, kissing me on the cheek, then even grabbed me and stuck his tounge in my mouth. He would wait for me or follow me to my car on several occasions telling me he wanted me and begging. We went to lunch for noodles twice and each time was a trick where it ended with him one time telling me he wouldn't talk to to me and make me miserble at work becasue i wasnt doing what he wanted and then the last time two weeks ago, he got *****y at me and hen gave me classic attitude coming right out and saying that he was angry because I wouldn't screw him. Even when i told him many times I'm married and to please leave me along. he would trick me and apologize and act very contrite. But this last time he also told me he would give me anything i wanted if i would sleep with him.

I was so angry I yelled at him all of the way back to the office and told him if he hever spoike to me again or tried to make another move I was going to report him. I only wanted to work and not get into some BS sexual harrassment crap. This job was so important to me. He started saying he didn't understand and gave the impression act that he was a feeble old man who could barely speak english. I could tell he was giving me some message. He has been there almost 20 years too. and I was not a threat to him.

But last week he started following me everywhere but being very polite and professional and was stopping at my desk more than usual and it was not looking good because the week before when I came back from that last luch I was so upset my supervisor asked me to tell her what was wrong. She could see my cubicle from her office and saw him coming and going alot. I was very upset and told her half of the story, but didn't tell her who it was so she wasn't in the position to report it.

Thursday while I was at lunch he went into HR and told them i was making inappropriate advances to him. Before I returned my recruiter called me and told me to get my stuff and leave without talking to anyone and trust him. i left without tell the supervisor and partner who didn't know, and that's when I found out.

It was a "business decision" and before anything happened they had to "nip it in the bud." they loved me my work was exemplary, they are heartbroken they love me -- but it had to be done. The project is in a state that couldn't be worse for me to have left. All I care about is the work.

The supervisor emailed me and said she didn't know any details but that she wanted to give me references and recommendations. She is the only one I trust and so I responded with the rest of the entire harrassment history and the derogatory things he said to in order so she had it as he told me he had did it before and i know he will do it again.

I don't know if I should contact an attorney since i was a temp. My recruter, whom is a total asshole who obviously on cocaine, is trying to tell me that I have no recourse because I was a temp, but I read code and statutes for fun and I belief he is only trying to steer me away from the fact that his agency may have some liability in this.

I am so disappointed, but i will be ok. I will be going back to work making more money probably -- but it will be doing work that won't be as rewarding or important to me. I will keep an open mind.

Can anyone please give me advice and feedback. i need all i can get. Thank you so much for being here and listening.
