I emailed my recent past job I was fired from sharing my experience of sexual harassment from my boss that is still employed there and got no response. I’m trying to let it go but i can’t.

quick backstory-i worked for this company for over 2 years. I got promoted twice and received nothing but praise and large bonus’s/recognition while i was there. Due to my own personal mistakes I showed up late a good amount of times during one month (i commuted an hour and a half in bay area traffic) and that led them to changing their opinion of me as a star employee and passing me up for opportunities and perks that i used to get. i completely understood this but it unfortunately only made me a worse and worse employee because i started to not care and eventually was fired out of nowhere due to my lates. I understood my irresponsibility’s caught up with me but i was never told i was on the verge of being let go and was never issued a write up or verbal warning of any sort. it came out of left field and i was upset because i felt like I should of been talked to and aware that my employment was in jeopardy if changes weren’t made, but i was never reprimanded about it so it came as a very big shock.

Back around a year ago while at this job, my boss who recruited and hired me and held a high position with my company did something to me I have never experienced before. Long story short, I was in talks for a promotion and one night he randomly found my snap chat and messaged me trying to make late night small talk and ultimately shared with me that he had a recent meeting about my future with the company and what the company’s decision was regarding my promotion, but wouldn’t tell me unless i sent him a picture of what i was wearing (he was insinuating very sexual undertones) and he over and over again dangled information about my head in exchange for a picture and told me that was the only way he would tell me the information.

I was crushed because he was the one person in the company that I always very much respected and appreciated and I was friendly with his wife and he had just had his first newborn so it hurt me to believe he would cross that line. I never spoke up and tried to forget it happened because i felt like it wasn’t worth voicing what he did and potentially ruining his marriage, family, and job over it. I felt like it could of been a one time dumb mistake that shouldn’t result in his life being ruined. Unfortunately enough it still has stuck with me and for some reason i have not been able to get over it and just forgive and forget because it was the first time in my life i felt so violated and let down by a subordinate that i truly once trusted and respected.

When i was fired it changed my life completely. i decided a couple months after to express my thoughts in an email about how I felt very disappointed in how i was let go and hope they understand how important it is to voice concerns with employees who are in risk of getting terminated to give them the opportunity to learn and change their behavior, and not just call and employee late at night over the phone firing them while they were unaware termination was even a possibility-in my opinion all employees should be respected enough to be talked to about certain concerns and be given an opportunity to change, especially if they have been apart of the team for multiple years.

At the end of the email i shared my experience of being manipulated by my boss for requesting sexual pictures in exchange for information about my job advancement, but i voiced that i wasn’t comfortable giving out the name of the upper management employee because I didn’t feel comfortable yet (i didn’t want to live with the fact that i could potentially ruin his career/family life) but i felt as though this was information they should be aware of because i’m positive i wouldn’t be the last employee he would do this too. Two other female co workers opened up to me after i shared my story that they too received messages from him regarding the same thing.

the day after i sent the email one of the two GM’s i sent it to texted me saying he got my email and wanted to call me in the next couple of days to talk. he never called.

to this day i have never heard back from them. i know it may seem petty and something i should just get over to an outsider, but it hasn’t stopped eating me up inside that my vulnerable story of being fired out of the blue with no past write ups and expressing my dark experience of one of their upper management doing what they did to me and received no response.

I have been contemplating sending an email to their corporate HR about the situation but i feel torn thinking i may truly ruin someone’s career/life. I want to let this go but even after 6 months i continuously feel anger. what should i do?

ps-they recently were sued for $150,000 for not giving us accurate lunch breaks and paying us overtime and firing employees and withholding their final checks for months. they lost the case and we were all given a small payout. this is just an example to showcase the unprofessionalism the company holds.
