It's unlikely Facebook would fire anyone without the complainant having enough of a case to be legally actionable. Thus, it's safe I think to assume that there was a pattern of unsolicited advances towards an individual. I admit this is conjecture, but it's a common story and as such makes a valid theory for what happened here.
- nkrisc 11y agoNowhere is it implied the reason for firing was related to harassment, but instead the rules relating to that were only used as an example to illustrate a point.
- lazyant 11y agoif (s)he broke a written rule or policy that's all they need, (s)he admitted to breaking a rule that (s)he thought was minor, like jaywalking, explicitly said it was not like harassment.
- roymurdock 11y agoThe only thing she was interested in was whether I had done the action that was held against me, and whether somebody had asked me to do it. Think again of what I did as jaywalking. Yes I did it, and nobody made me. I was working on a special project with a VP at that time, and he had nothing to do with it. She asked me why I did it, and I explained - jaywalking takes you from point A to point B faster, it's not a conspiracy to create a traffic jam. In other words, in what I did there was no damaged caused, no intention to harm anyone, and no way for me to profit from it. If a week prior, I had typed a few different keystrokes, I would never have been in that room. Sounds like they took a code shortcut, possibly violating NDA/privacy agreements or using unapproved/a competitor's 3rd party tools. Does not sound like harassment.
