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

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 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, 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

Today, I got fired from my recently acquired job at a doctor's office because I don't "agree with family values". The way I'm disrespecting their "family values"? I'm gay. FML

Today, a new hire at my workplace, who is already on probation, yelled at me about filing an HR complaint about him. I had customers, who definitely heard. I've never filed a complaint. FML

Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. FML

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.

Or maybe instead of demeaning her sexual orientation, why not make fun of something we can all get behind: her urine-stained K-Mart panties?

I love guessing games! Here are my entries: 1) The guy who dumped 3 girls via text. 2) The person who wiped their ass with a Clorox wipe. 3) Steve Harvey What do I win?

How did you not need proof for this kind of thing ever?

Should have told them you couldn’t have been harassing her bc you identify as gender non-binary.

Yes how dare you harass her for being happy. (Before any of you flip your shit I was making a joke, involves the use of the old dictionary meaning of gay)

Situations like this need to be filmed. Make all parties aware the camera is rolling and have documented instances where protocols were breached.

The problem is not the reprimanding but the reason why. How do you want to record the bad attitude and terrible work performance by video? There should be enough to proof it anyways. If not then she's right to complain.

Y’all know that people of all races, genders, sexualities, etc., etc. pull this crap, right? I know several “cis white males” that were absolute shit at their jobs and made all sorts of terrible allegations against their employers when action was taken against them. HR took their allegations seriously and investigated them too. It’s kinda HR’s job...

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!
