Yep. I worked at a place where my director and manager were true mysogynists. One day the director walks behind one of my subordinates and knees her in the back of the knees to make her fall back so that he can catch her. He does this in front the whole office. I told her that I had her back if she chose to complain. We went to our CO and laid everything out, and he was forced to take action. I was pulled aside and told that I would ruin my career if I went durn this path. I told them that it was more important to me to do the right thing. The director was forced to resign, the manager was reassigned to another location, and yes, my career suffered, especially in the area of promotion. But you know what? I'd do it again, because it was the right thing to do.

    Thanks for sharing, and well done! Not many people would dare to help someone else if they experience what you did. You must be a reliable co-worker.

    Well done. Maybe you can change your workplace? If right behavior is penalized the company is shit! At least here in Germany this kind of thread would never work on me, because I could change to a new place in literally hours.

    @ShotgunSurgeon I'm not with them anymore. We parted ways in 2000 after twenty years. It was a government agency, so change is slow. I now work at one of the most fantastic places with an incredible culture, going on fifteen years.
