This did not happen to me. It happened to a life-long female friend of my sister. To protect their identities, I’m not going to say any names of people or places.
At work, one of her male co-workers drilled a hole in a wall to the women’s bathroom and spied on her when she was in there. When the boss found out, he fired the employee and fixed the wall. He then threatened to fire anyone who reports to the police what happened, because he wanted to protect the place’s reputation.
This is disgusting. He deserves a much harsher punishment than losing his job. Where does the boss get the idea that a gross invasion of privacy like this is not serious enough to report to the police? What if the boss was in the bathroom and someone spied on him? Would he have reacted differently?
She doesn’t want to report what happened because she’s afraid of losing her job that she really needs. What should she do? Should she report it and not care about losing her job? Should she sue, so she wouldn’t need the job? Should she try to tape the boss threatening to fire her and have him arrested for obstruction of justice?
