Ask HN: Victim of an unfounded harrasement accusation. Your thoughts?
Not judging you but it could just be that you might come across as &quot;&quot;&quot;creepy&quot;&quot;&quot; (notice the three pairs of quotes here). The issue is that you&#x27;re in a hyper sensitive environment with hyper sensitive people. If you try and initiate a conversation with certain women (even to be polite because you dgaf about them) that dislike you, it can be considered &quot;&quot;&quot;pushy&quot;&quot;&quot; and&#x2F;or &quot;&quot;&quot;creepy&quot;&quot;&quot; (even though there&#x27;s no objective proof that you were trying to force their hand) but if you&#x27;re the tall, confident, handsome guy from marketing then you&#x27;re &quot;such a player&quot;. So yeah, my advice to you is stay extremely professional for the remainder of your time there, try not to burn bridges with the company, stay courteous, work hard and most importantly find a job somewhere else. Also, learn about social dynamics. If you&#x27;re socially awkward you&#x27;ll be more at risk of being accused of rape (whatever its definition of the day is).
Not to mention the increasing pressure that lies on HR and management as a result of the fear of being labeled the next Uber.
