The “Pestminster” scandal is sadly all too familiar for many women as misogynistic culture runs rife in workplaces across the UK
“It started on a work night out,” she says. “The whole team had been to a few bars together, and at the end of the night when I said I was leaving, the managing director said he would walk out with me. We walked towards the taxi rank, but then he asked if I wanted to get another drink before leaving.
“I cried on my husband’s shoulder when I got in, saying I would probably lose my job now I’d rejected the boss” Annabelle attempted to quit, but her boss refused to accept her resignation. He apologised, and she says his behaviour seemed to improve for a while. However, she continued to feel terrified, demeaned and violated.
Annabelle made a complaint to the external HR consultant her company used, but the behaviour continued to be dismissed as a “joke”. She says she was also threatened with disciplinary action for raising the complaint. “Employees will only have the confidence to speak up and raise issues to HR if they feel safe and supported in the workplace. Importantly, women should not have to adjust their behaviour to address misogynistic and sexist behaviour.”
