Work: Unfair

Unfair

By Anonymous - 23/05/2013 07:24 - United States

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

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, 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, after taking a much-needed mental health week off from work, I discovered I wasn’t on the schedule this week. Turns out, I was fired. Apparently, my absence made things “inconvenient” for my department, since they had to do double work due to my “selfish” PTO usage. FML

Call the eeoc, sounds like they fired you because they didn't want to deal with the sexual harassment. This is not only illegal because they aren't dealing with the issue, but also discrimination. Fight this! You'll definitely end up with a handsome settlement and make sure this won't happen to any of their future employees

Also the fact that they fired you for reporting it is called retaliation which is also highly illegal and the federal government doesn't look too kindly Upon this! Eeoc.gov, good luck!

Wow! Sue them & win big bucks. All they're saying is they knew about your harassment and did nothing to stop it. Other women are probably being harassed too. Now they're firing you as punishment. Fight it & get paid!!!

If a company risked a lawsuit saying your claim was a waste of time, chances are that it definitely was. Being grabbed/touched or anything along those lines is sexual harassment. If it's just something somebody said to you then you're just wasting time and deserved to be fired. Also if you have no proof you were harassed then you can't sue.

They aren't allowed to fire you because you are filing sexual harassment. Report them to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. They can get in serious trouble for that.
