Do Not Accept Employment at DSV Amsterdam Westpoort
Warning: Do Not Accept Employment at DSV Amsterdam Westpoort
I was employed at DSV’s Amsterdam Westpoort facility through a staffing agency. Although the tasks themselves were simple and manageable, the working environment was unacceptable due to widespread sexual harassment and a complete failure of management and agency support.
I personally experienced stalking by a male colleague. Despite formally reporting the incident to both DSV’s HR department and my staffing agency, no effective action was taken. Female employees were routinely sexualized, objectified, and subjected to persistent unwanted advances. On multiple occasions, women who complained were advised by the agency to “cover up more” or adjust their clothing, rather than the perpetrators being disciplined or educated on professional boundaries.
The frequency of inappropriate comments, unsolicited requests for dates, and overt harassment was extreme; it occurred daily and created an environment where many women, including myself, felt unsafe. Ultimately, I was forced to resign in order to protect my well-being, as neither DSV nor the agency provided any meaningful support or intervention.
For these reasons, I strongly advise against accepting employment at DSV Amsterdam Westpoort, particularly for women.
