I was harassed and they didn't fire him so I quit. - Senior Software Engineer/Tech Lead Sweetwater Employee Review

I’m not going to dive into any technical/worklife/process issues because frankly all of that pales in comparison to why I quit. I quit because despite their claims, Sweetwater does NOT have a zero tolerance policy towards harassment and discrimination and I’m proof of that. The following, up until I quit, took place over the course of about half a year. A coworker was harassing me, manipulating, and in general being extremely unprofessional. After a month or so I reported him (which honestly I didn’t even feel safe to do) and all HR did from my perspective was give him a slap on the wrist. He still worked there and there was no prevention of interactions at work so thank you for putting me in that situation. Things kept escalating, I stopped reporting because I no longer trusted HR, and eventually I reported more and interactions were finally prevented which left me wondering what it actually takes to get fired around here. He also tried to harm my reputation/credibility with lies so I decided to give HR a mountain of evidence against him just in case they didn’t believe me. Yet again, no hard consequences from my perspective, just words. So I quit because I’m not going to work for a company that keeps men like that around. A handful of months later, lo and behold, he was having issues with another woman! So what exactly did keeping him around get you? You lost a major asset (me) and you enabled him to have issues with another woman! I’m beyond words. That time-period was hell for me as I can only assume it was for the other woman. You'll never understand how hopeless and alone I felt. That’s on every single person involved in the situation who had the power to make a difference and didn’t. I’m sure Sweetwater will reply to this trying to save face but I really don’t need to be any more gaslit than I already was. Now is the time to listen, reflect, and ensure that this never happens again.
