I've been working at a small tech company for just two months, still in my probation period, and I'm seriously considering quitting due to the toxic environment. Today, I experienced something that made me rethink my situation entirely. There's an external contractor who frequently works in our office, and he's known to be a problem. Female employees, including myself, are advised not to be alone with him because of his inappropriate behavior. Just the other day, he hugged me and kissed me on the head without my consent, while two male coworkers laughed it off. Today, he made another uncomfortable comment about my appearance, and when I reacted, a female coworker told me I should just play along to avoid becoming a target. On top of that, there's a male coworker who has been making inappropriate comments about my personal life and has started making sexual jokes when we’re alone. The company owner is also a huge part of the problem, as he often yells at employees and speaks to us in a degrading manner. It's clear that management is aware of the contractor's behavior but chooses to keep him around. This whole situation feels like harassment has been normalized here, and I’m really questioning if I should stay until I find another job or just leave immediately, even without a backup plan. I’m actively job hunting, but I don’t have any offers yet.
