untrue. if someone sees / hears something even that was "welcome" but they take offense to it a complaint can be filed and action taken. ask me how I know.


have a recorder or video camera set up in your office. if they come in say "you don't mind if I recored this do you?" and turn it on. if they say they do then say you have nothing to discuss without a third party present. just make sure you say it with EVERYONE that comes in your office

This is how pornos start

If you fire an employee after they have filed a complaint, it will almost always be viewed as retaliation, and you will be paying for them to stay at home.

They will do less damage to your company at home. Next stept is to make them and their Lawyer start spending their own money. Counter sue, never take this crap lying down, in the in, the tougher you are, the cheaper it will be.

Not good legal advice. Not at all.

OP, there has been some good advice in this thread, especially from SID297. I hope this works out well for you.

Sorry to hear this OP. I was in a similar situation, except, I was accused of being a racist by my black boss. My boss was completely worthless though. When I came in to the shop, numbers sucked. I had a ton of knowledge and experience in that line of work, and I increased production by 70% and increased satisfaction rates by 30% or something like that.

Out of nowhere I end up in the general manager's office, being explained that I wasn't pulling my weight and that I had made several comments that offended the minorities in the shop. (There was only one minority lulz). They made my life hell, changed my shifts around to the worst hours, told me I had no chance of ever climbing the ladder...

I ended up just quitting. There is no way to even fight a situation like that. Young, early 20s white male being accused of racism against a 50 year old black man being backed by the GM.

I have always said that the consequences for making false claims should be just as harsh as the charges you're trying to file. It destroys lives, careers, relationships etc.

You work in a place with cameras everywhere. Ask for the full complaint with specific times, dates, and locations. Consider a civil suit for defamation if you can poke enough hols in the story.

The "offended" person will have to prove your guilt.

You can in return file an EEOC complaint by being over 40 (I assume with 32 years of service) that you feel as if you are being singled out because of your age.

If your company is large they may have an EEO office, if not you can go thru federally.

In regards to being the accused in a sexual harassment/EEO complaint:

The burden of proof is on the accuser
There are strict timelines for filing
Don't always result in a formal complaint (many are resolved in the informal stage of the process)
Can be VERY stressful for the accused

Sexual harassment/EEO complaints usually are very hard to prove, but very easy to file. If you are a manager and have a sizable workforce, there is a good chance you will be directly involved in one or more during your tenure. As long as you are acting within the scope of your authority and treating your employees fairly, don't fret. They can and do happen. If you are actually engaging in sexual harassment/EEO activities in your workplace, knock that sh*t out.

Also, your subordinates are NOT your friends. Be very careful how you act and talk around them. If you are present when inappropriate banter is occurring, you need to have them stop immediately. Another way managers get caught up in the SH/EEO process is because of vicarious liability... Even though you didn't know, you should've known...

Good luck.
