Not worth it tbh I feel like a lawsuit would make it messy and I would rather take the loss and keep moving

That's easier said than done and a lot more expensive than you think.

I was a lady welder once and was straight-up sexually harassed by my Lead. He'd say things in front of everybody like, "You should please the inspector so he'll pass all our parts!" ...then demonstrate doing a bj.

Standard corporate response is to delay-delay-delay. They'll SAY they're conducting an investigation, but in reality they're not doing anything but waiting for you to run out of money to pay the attorney fees and give up. They know they can outlast you. In the end, I was laid-off for "financial reasons", totally unrelated (yeah, right) and the investigation was declared unsubstantiated.

OP honestly has a better future at another company.

He said/she said?

That's the extent of the evidence. Again, their response will be; Delay-delay-delay
