AGHHHH I hate this so much!

I no longer work for a company where one coworker raped another coworker, and I accompanied the coworker to report the rape. Was I "fired?" Not exactly - the boss just never called me again (it was more of a gig type job), even though I'd been a big part of his company for FIVE FUCKING YEARS, training new employees and such.

Oh yeah, important factor: The rapist was my boss's best friend.

It's So. Fucking. Frustrating.

That was a big part of my income and now I've had to scramble for something else.

Part of me is like, I should go to the authorities or something. And most of me is like, nope, too much trouble for me. Why should I put time and energy into something that's going to completely fuck with my life, with absolutely no reward for me? I have other, more positive things to spend my time on.

But then sometimes I'm like ARGHGHGHGHGHG like when I read stuff like this. I want to be part of the solution, not part of the (non-reporting) problem.
