In a recent letter to advice column Ask Eric, a reader shared their experience of being bullied and harassed by a predator in the workplace. The employer handled the situation poorly, leading the victim to feel marginalized and unsupported. The victim eventually found a new job where they received positive feedback from their boss, who praised their work ethic and character.
The reader contemplates sending a copy of the positive review to their previous employer as a form of closure. However, the columnist advises against it, as it may not lead to the acknowledgment and validation the reader seeks. Instead, the reader is encouraged to focus on the positive aspects of their current situation and the strength it took to leave a toxic environment behind.
Ultimately, the columnist emphasizes the importance of moving forward and not allowing past trauma to define one’s future. The reader is reminded of their resilience and encouraged to see the positive evaluation as a reminder of their worth and capabilities.
