My branch head harassed me, and I filed a complaint. The company won’t let me back in the office, and there’s no progress. Now he’s leaving the country, and I’m worried he’ll return to the office. The HR committee hasn’t resolved anything, and the situation is getting worse. I’m unsure if I should return to work, resign, or risk being fired. What should I do to protect myself and my job?

You should consult an employment lawyer immediately. They can advise you on your legal rights, including potential options for protection against retaliation and your employer’s obligations. You can also seek help from the local labour department or a women’s rights organization if applicable. While the situation is stressful, seeking legal counsel can clarify your options and help you make informed decisions.
