Part 5/9:
One of the breaking points occurred when Josey reported an incident where Bobby, an old acquaintance, attempted to corner her and make unwanted advances. Instead of receiving support, Josey was told by Pavich to "take it like a man." This brutal dismissal of her experiences ignited a fire within her—a fire to challenge the unyielding silence surrounding workplace harassment.
When Josey's attempts to gain recognition and support for herself and her female coworkers were met with resistance, she decided to escalate the matter to Pearson, one of the company owners. However, this too ended in disappointment as she found herself further ostracized. Feeling powerless, Josey ultimately resigned, but not before making a significant impact on her male coworkers’ perspectives.
