Today, we got a new employee at work. I said hi, and told her that if she needed help figuring out our computer system, then to give me a call. She promptly accused me of sexual harassment and filed a complaint against me. FML

OP here. Some of you noticed it said "woman." Yes, I'm a woman. That's why her complaint made no sense. Glad to report, though, that after a couple days HR got back to me and said I was off the hook, and told her that if she makes any more accusations like that, she'll be fired. She can't even look me in the eye now.

She probably said that because she doesn't even know how to work a computer at all and she thought you'd figure her out...she's sneaky.

Yeah she probably misread you, it happens. You should discuss that with her (with a witness)

My husband got fired because some stupid cow filed a complaint that he caused an hostile environment on his first day on the job; she felt her job was being threatened when he actually did the work and produced more than the fat lazy cow did. I feel you.

She is probably one of those crazy feminists that believe every man is out to "violate" and control her. Because remember, anything consensual from a man is still violation.

Firstly, those people aren't feminists. They are just plain crazy. Calling yourself a feminist doesn't make you one, just like claiming you're not racist before making a racist remark doesn't make you any less racist. Secondly, the OP is a woman.

The only safe bet at this point is to completely avoid any contact with your coworker. If you are forced to talk to them get a witness. It's sad that everyday life has come to this point.
