Today, I had to reprimand an employee for her bad attitude and terrible work performance. She went to HR and said I harassed her for being gay. Guess who they believed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called someone out for her brazen homophobia. She was ranting about how gays are sinners. When I mentioned that she had three children by three different men, all out of wedlock, and was currently living with her boyfriend, also considered a sin, she reported me to HR for harassment. FML
Today, I had to sit and listen to a coworker tell me about how disappointed she is her daughter is a lesbian and wondering if anyone still does those "pray it away" camps. I work in HR so I couldn’t even call her an evil, bigoted witch, because I know I’m the one who’d lose my job. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML
Today, I confronted my coworker, who I had a crush on, for lying to me. He’d told me he was gay when I asked him out. He’s now dating another coworker of mine who’s a woman. He took this up with my boss, and I was written up for “creating a hostile work environment.” FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, half of my office urged me to file a complaint against a coworker for aggressive behaviour, so I did. Less than 24 hours later, HR gave him a real dressing down and the whole office turned against me for ratting on him to management. FML
Today, I told an employee to turn her camera on during a meeting when she worked remote. Since she refused to turn it on, I questioned the veracity of whether she was actually working at home, so I threatened to take disciplinary action. She responded by filing a complaint to HR. FML
Today, I decided to come out to a co-worker. She looked at me, then laughed, and said, "You can't be gay, you're fat!" FML
Today, I had to give a sexual harassment seminar to my department. Someone put in a complaint that my example made them feel uncomfortable. FML
Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Doesn't surprise me. Make sure you documented all instances of her poor attitude as proof for why you reprimanded her. Cover your ass from the false discrimination allegations. It is becoming more common place for people to do such things.

Sadly nowadays you need proof to back you up. Sounds like something that would happen in my old workplace.

Sadly, everybody should have body cams on them during work hours. Too many pieces of shit being bred into society and we can't trust anyone on their words anymore.

Yup, because that’s what we need: universal surveillance. It’s fine if the big, bad, scary government isn’t doing it, right? (Not like the big corporations haven’t been doing that for decades now and one company felt like they could impose their will on one of the top 10 largest economies in the world 6 years ago or anything, right?)

I presume you had evidence of both the things you reprimanded her for?

Entitled prick. I’ve long supported the LGBT community, but these people ruin it for those that want to live like anyone else and just love who they want. Sorry OP, try and get well documented proof to cover your ass.

Same thing happened to me, delivery driver claimed I called her a Dike because she had a bad attitude and was banging into shelving units in my store. Luckily for me, I always had another manager attend and witness ALL reprimands. She was reassigned to another store. And I was cleared of ANY wrong doing.

Do you have evidence of her poor performance and attitude? If so, you should be able to bring it to HR.

HR has become a joke! They are usually social justice warriors who think they are important! It used to takes years in a company to work in the Personnel Department (HR) but now all it takes is a paper mill diploma and no experience! Most HR people are ******* useless!

Well either you have proof or you don't. If you don't have any proof then it is totally okay for her to ask herself if there are any non-work-related problems you have with her. You are still on top since it is very easy to proof terrible work performance but it is extremely hard to proof discrimination. That's why they believe her at the beginning and try to investigate.
