Omg I had this opportunity against a higher up who is a really fucking awful person but I opted to go for an informal complaint because I panicked that they would tell them who put the complaint in. the higher up really likes me and had no idea that I'd complain about what they were doing - they also would've talked absolute shit about me and tried to destroy my reputation if they found out, considering I'm very early into my career it wasn't a choice I was willing to make. I wish I had been brave cause now it's all said and done I can really see how hard HR actually wanted that person gone (much harder to do without the formal complaint).

Good luck to you!

HR wants crappy employees gone as much as you do, likely more, as they deal with them for every issue, you might only see some. Iceberg perspective. File the damn complaint and let us purge for your and everyone's sake! (Unless you work in sketch org with compromised or biased HR).

Source, am HR.

Thanks that makes me feel better about the HR folks I spoke to. I work in an actually very safe organization in terms of this type of stuff but it's also unionized so the paperwork seemed extremely overwhelming at the time and I didn't really feel supported by the union at all, plus the fact that a formal report would mean my name would no longer be confidential. Unfortunately, I think it's too late to do all that formal stuff anyway but I think I gave them enough to do a bit of damage as from what I've been told they're still pursuing as much as they can. I just wish I hadn't had to have been the one to speak up because our boss actually witnessed everything and had the same evidence as me and said fuck all. The whole leadership is a fucking mess honestly but I did find comfort in the HR folks that helped me out at least.
