One manager even squeezed his private parts in her presence. Another revealed his male genitals imprint in his executive suit at her work desk. She would play if off with smart remarks hoping they got the message. Shortly after came the serious fire breathing threats, and undue write-ups. The only female working inside of the factory at the time. She reached out for help after 21 months of suffering. She tried to transfer back to her previous department.
