I charged my boss with sexual harassment. 2 of the coworkers are my witnesses now they are scared. Advice?

After each incident which was usually by ourself I would tell someone and occasionally someone would hear him say nasty things and they would tell me to go to higher management but I was scared I would lose my job because my boss was going to set up someone in my office to be fired and if he knew that I said anything he would retaliate. Now the employees are on the boss' side because they are scared that they will lose their job. I don't want to quit because I love my job and I did nothing wrong. I documented everything and gave it to the owner, and my boss got a slap on the wrist and I moved down the hall and now they are trying to push me out so that is why I went forward to get a lawyer. My boss is saying we all joked around but I was flirtacious. No way, I treated everyone with respect.

Sounds like you'll have to have your day in court. Your word against his; maybe your coworkers will stand up for you. Regardless, judges didn't get to where they are by being stupid; just tell the truth and if you've been wronged - they'll find in your favor.

Contact EEOC

Talk to a lawyer that specializes in harassment. Document every instance, ensure there are witnesses. Without the proper documentation, perhaps some tape recordings and witnesses, the result being favorable to you is problamatic.
Regardless of the outcome it is likely you will need to leave that organization.

Get back to work. Doesn't sound like he damaged you. If you love your job like you say, do your job. If you get fired it happens every day: find another one. If you are as good a worker as you say you are should not be a problme. People have said "nasty things" about me my whole life. If I stopped working every time I'd never be retired at age 44 which is where I am right now.

You need to go to work and you need to keep paying taxes. You can be flirtatious and still be respectful, so I do not doubt either one of your stories. Everyone thinks they are entitled to a free ride without working. If you win your law suit this might come out of corporate profits and then where would I be? So .... back to your oar!

You need to write down each and every incident that occurs. Be sure to document exact quotes when someone harasses you as well as the date and time the harassment occurred. I personally think it would be very stressful to continue to work under those conditions but that is your decision to make.

Get another job. Jeesus, take your experience and knowledge to another company and quit stressing

While I agree you shouldn't be pushed out of a job you love through no fault of your own, why do you want to work in an environment of hostility, betrayal and fear? The law will allow you to legally pursue the validity of these acts, so don't worry about that. Whether or not you win this case, the environment will not be happy, no matter how enjoyable the work is. Good luck.

Follow your lawyer's advice. Not that there aren't some intelligent people on here but quality legal advice isn't something that I would expect.That's why you pay a lawyer, to represent and advise you in all aspects of the case. If your co-workers are punished for siding with you tell them to contact a lawyer or the EEOC. If your company has a sexual harassment policy it sounds like they probably aren't following it which is bad for them and if they don't have a policy that's really bad for them.

Just a question. When you heard the comments that you found offensive did you confront your boss and let him know that you were not comfortable with that sort of language? In most cases of harassment(which after re-reading your question it doesn't indicate anywhere how he is guilty of sexual harassment, but harassment just the same) you need to show an effort to find a solution with the person before escalating the claim. Once you do not come to an equitable solution then you escalate up the ladder. This should be spelled out the companies' harassment policy. If you immediately went to the upper management without following the steps before you get to that point they are within their rights to transfer you, demote you or discipline you in any manner that agrees with the companies policies and guidelines. This is to protect managers from groundless claims.
