Today, I got a call from work stating that my employment was being terminated. This was after being suspended while they investigated my sexual harassment claim. Their reason for firing me: misuse of company time. Yes, I suppose reporting being sexually harassed is a huge waste of time. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 was called into the office and suspended due to allegations made by a coworker of poor work performance. Yesterday, I received a certificate praising my work performance. I might be dismissed at any moment. FML
Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, I was hired from an interview after being fired 3 months ago from an "at will" employer by someone who sabotaged me. They called it "misconduct" but it's real lame. I was filling out the paper in the app and they wanted permission to contact HR at my previous employer to get ANY information about misconduct. FML
Today, HR informed me that they would not be investigating my formal complaint against my boss. This after four months of relentless bullying, including calling me while I was on vacation to tell me to do work, and eliminating my position when she found out I had gone to HR. FML
Today, my boss put me on suspension for violating company policy by having non-work related mail in my inbox. They were spam emails. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML
Today, at work, I received an email telling me that viewing porn websites was prohibited and was a good enough reason to fire me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Reading this post has been a huge waste of time. I wanna know how you were sexually harassed. Tell me how!!?
MsSoulReaper 27
If the post is a waste of time, why do you want to know how she was sexually assaulted? Wouldn't that be a waste of time too?

There is no indication that OP is female.

What this sounds like to me is; she was fired for misuse of company time. Not HER time. If the company launched an investigation and it turned out to be a bogus complaint, then they could fire her for wasting their time. I'm not saying that's what happened, just saying its a plausible explanation based on the very small post.

The presumption of innocence should go both ways. If they have to assume that the accused is innocent of sexual harassment without any evidence that says otherwise, they should also assume that the OP isn't intentionally trying to cause trouble and just misunderstood a well meaning gesture. Punishing someone who makes a complaint will only discourage people from reporting these issues.

That's the point, 94. The US labor market is ****** all to hell.

You could destroy the whole company for something like this. That's illegal and then some.

Unless the company's legal department determined the claim to be a wrongful accusation, OP can sue the company for Wrongful Termination under both the Hostile Environment and Whistle Blower Protection clauses (the latter if OP worked for any company dealing with the Government).

Agreed!

Even if her boss was accepting in the offer, if he was even a he, I feel this would just lead to a giant circle and another fml. Just my thoghts...

LOL! Wow...hire a lawyer and prepared to get paid.

Unless OP lives in a no fault state. In which case there would be no law suit unless the employer violated discrimination laws.
niallo 23
Even in a no fault state there are times they can't fire you. This is one of the big ones. She reports being sexually harassed and gets suspended and fired. This company is toast.

There are also sexual harassment laws. They have violated these.
TheDrifter 24
If the company found op's claim to be baseless they are within their rights to terminate her, in fact, keeping her on could be considered grounds for a hostile work environment suit by the person she accused. Lesson of the day? Have proof before filing a harassment claim.
RedPillSucks 33
She's also within her rights to sue the company. Unfortunately, many sexual harassment occur out of earshot of witnesses.

Report it to the proper authorities. Most companies won't do anything about it, unless you threaten a lawsuit.

I don't get dis…
Welshite 40
Dis...what? Disappointed, discarded, discouraged, disemboweled, disregarded, or disdain? I know one you are getting for certain: dislikes.

Better be careful or they'll file a harassment claim on her... Unless OP's hot.

Wrongful termination... We all know where this is going.
