Concerns Mount Over Possible Return of Fired Supervisor

Concerns

Concerns are rising inside a major statutory corporation after reports that a former supervisor may soon return. Moreover, staff say the development feels dangerous and disrespectful. The supervisor was fired almost two years ago after several sexual-harassment complaints.

Female employees say the situation is extremely alarming. They argue that any reinstatement would weaken efforts to protect women at work. Additionally, the news comes during the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Workers say the timing makes the issue even more troubling.

According to employees familiar with the case, five or six women made formal complaints. They accused the supervisor of unwanted advances and repeated requests for sexual favours. Furthermore, they said he linked those demands to job confirmation. Several women said he misused performance meetings to pressure them. Others said he punished them with poor evaluations when they refused.

Staff also reported another serious problem. They said the supervisor frequently watched pornographic material during work hours. This behaviour created fear, discomfort, and deep frustration among women in the office. As a result, the corporation dismissed him.

He later took the matter to the Industrial Court. The case remains open, and employees say they are unsure how it will end. However, new discussions have raised strong concerns.

Sources claim the former supervisor has held talks with government officials in recent weeks. Because of those discussions, workers believe he could soon return to his old post. Female staff warn that such a move would send a harmful message. They say women already struggle to get complaints addressed in a male-dominated management structure.

One employee called the possible reinstatement “a step backward” for workplace safety and equality. She said women want workplaces where leaders act with fairness and accountability. Therefore, she urged officials to consider the emotional impact on staff.

Employees also noted that the corporation still lacks strong internal systems to handle harassment. Consequently, they fear more women will stay silent if the supervisor returns.

In closing, workers say the corporation now faces a crucial test. They insist that leaders must protect staff, support victims, and ensure that no decision undermines trust.
