Don&#x27;t fire without talking first. I&#x27;m not saying your innocent employee is lying but try to get both sites and possibly some proof (the messages).<p>&#x2F; EDIT: I missed the part where he said that he saw the evidence - sorry.<p>Why I&#x27;m saying this is because I was in a similar situation once. Employee X didn&#x27;t like me without me knowing. At a party (alcohol involved) we talked a little (normal things, nothing sexually, personal, private or anything like it) and that was it. On the next day I got asked into the office and have been told that multiple people filed a sexual harassment claim against me. No names who that could have been, no proof, but I was guilty.<p>They told me that I either have to leave the company or send a public (anonymous) apology for the bad things I did. (They didn&#x27;t even tell me the things I did)<p>Until today I can still only guess who it was and it perplexes me that &quot;multiple people&quot; filed that claim against me. After talking to my better friend coworkers it seems like all people that could have filed that were friends with that one employee X that didn&#x27;t like me.<p>Long story short, I still don&#x27;t believe I did anything that could have been even remotely near sexual harassment but I&#x27;m feeling horrible. Maybe the worst memory in my entire career. Every time there is a harassment training I get reminded of what happened and that there are indeed people out there that call me a &quot;sexual harasser&quot;.
