Document everything. Have copies of things in multiple safe (non-work) locations. CYA. Note all dates, times, locations, methods of communication, and as much physical evidence as you can manage. I'm sorry you're being treated like this. The fact is, unless there's something illegal about what happened, you are in the right and need to act with integrity. You're a victim of a crime, not a perpetrator. Stand strong. I doubt in these days that anyone would fire an employee over having been betrayed by a sexual partner (save some highly religious employers). If this girl follows through with their threat, it is unlikely to come to anything. And if your new employer did let you go as a result, you're dodging a bullet in the long term. Companies with HR that evil don't deserve you. Might have a legal case if that were to happen (again, document everything) so prepare for the worst, but you can reasonably expect the best. I'd say file a police report, but am unsure how to treat HR. That varies so much from place to place. Might be best to tell HR the basic story and give them info to keep this girl out of the workplace. You don't need her showing up and causing a bigger mess. It'll be fine, sooner rather than later. I'm sure this isn't her first rodeo, and she's betting on you getting shaken up. Be calm, don't engage with her, and remember she has no real power here. |
