You know what? I DID put up with this same kind of inappropriate behavior from previous managers in various jobs throughout my 20s and it still didn't create a positive outcome for me with those jobs. I have so many examples.

I'm sure some people think I'm a self-righteous moron for being angry that this happened, and not want to work at this retail store anymore as a result. Ok. I can see their point (not that I'm a moron, but maybe their view is that I'm over-reacting about a minimum wage job that is a dime a dozen).

But, if I want to work at this store for 6 months, and I have to put up with someone like this guy, I know myself too well, to know that I couldn't handle it. Not at all.

Maybe some think the 19 year old assistant store manager is smarter than me, because she laughed it off, and chooses to up with her boss' inappropriate behavior, because she doesn't want to burn bridges for her own career reasons. I don't know.

All I know is, that I don't want to spend time at a 2nd part-time job being miserable, because the store I work for, condones this type of behavior and turns their noses about it.

I just need to find a second part-time job, where I don't have to put up with a pervert for a boss. I'm too old for that nonsense. I can't look the other way and it's not worth it, since his behavior triggered my traumatic past. Just not worth it.

I'm going in tomorrow with a written statement to give to the other store manager. If he throws it away or keeps it, not my business. I'm sad that this happened to me and angry that I had to experience such a scary, massive panic attack afterward.
