"I work in one of the international locations of a UK-based retail brand. My manager had been making inappropriate comments and pressuring me to go on dates with him for months. I was scared to escalate it because I didn’t think HQ in the UK would believe someone overseas.
A colleague told me about Whiss. I was able to report the harassment in Spanish, add screenshots of the messages, and select my specific store location. It felt reassuring that I didn’t have to go through HR at my location directly.
After an internal investigation, the manager was suspended and later dismissed. HR also rolled out anti-harassment training across stores. I now feel safer, and I didn’t have to jeopardise my job to get there."
