I'm a female executive in a large corporation. On the face of it, I'm about as together as I could hope to be: I'm reasonably professionally successful in a field that has

I totally get you. Put on your big girls pants and handle this as the successful professional you have shown yourself to be.

To the boss of your harasser, you cool day, no that won’t be possible or appropriate. I am not going to explain why, but if you need an explanation you can go to HR.

To the protective bosses who are trying to infantilise you and are making you feel you can’t cope (or undermining you with good intentions) you say it’s fine, i’ve got this.

Oh and well done. Both on raising it in the past and your career success.

I agree with going straight to HR on this one.

Grown,

I'm a bit confused by some of your post, but if I understand correctly, your previous harasser, who you won a grievance against, may now be placed in a position as your direct manager?

In that case should it not be a relatively simple matter of approaching senior HR and saying that given there was a previous grievance in your favour relating to this man, you do not believe it is appropriate for him to be working with you in any capacity?

I don't really understand your statement about people willing to jump off a cliff for you.
