Lucy, a former employee at Foxtons Group Plc, shared her traumatic experiences of sexual harassment at the company, where male colleagues groped her and sent unsolicited explicit messages. Despite reaching out to her managers and HR for support, she was met with disbelief and a dismissive attitude, exacerbating her distress. The culture at Foxtons, as recounted by Lucy and echoed by others, reflects a troubling environment where complaints are minimized and victims feel alone. Ultimately, the psychological toll forced Lucy to seek medical help, highlighting a critical need for workplace reform regarding harassment policies.
In her two years at Foxtons Group Plc, one of London's biggest estate agencies, Lucy said her managers and co-workers groped her, sent her explicit messages, discussed her weight in work WhatsApp chats and told her to start an account on OnlyFans.
When she confided in a manager, he said she needed thicker skin. Everyone goes through that, a female colleague said. She ended up in hospital with work-related stress.
