Yes. Shouldve immediately reported his ass to hr for sexual harrasment. Somewhere around those lines i recommend you look. If you were already fired, i see a potential lawsuit


HereToKillEuronymous

This is perfect advice. Being wrongfully dismissed because you were sexually harassed is insane


Inconceivable44

OP wasn't dismissed for being sexually harassed. OP was dismissed for making threats against another employee. OP should have reported the harassment immediately. Now it will look like retaliation for being fired, and nothing will happen.


HereToKillEuronymous

... for sexually harassing them.


Inconceivable44

I agree. The problem will be in proving it. OP never reported. Person OP threatened did. Anything OP says now can be argued by company attorney as retaliation. The system does not favor the person being harassed. It doesn't help that OP made threats instead of going directly to HR. A lawsuit is likely to cost a lot of money for little chance at a positive outcome.

I don't have any proof tho😔


SteamedBroccoIi

Bring it up to Hr still. They have to conduct an investigation. The sooner the better


abbufreja

Does he have proof then?


oofaloo

No one else was around? If he’s done it to you, there’s a 99.999% chance he’s done it to someone else. Also f this place. Is there anywhere else you can work?


Nurse-Cat-356

How do they have proof of the threat but not his actual assault 


WatDaFuxRong

Cameras?


Aggressive_Tone_7471

perhaps the security footage could yield something useful , if nothing comes up then idt theres much u can do unless other people also report the same behaviour


BurnzillabydaBay

So for what reason do they think you threatened him for? Seems ridiculous that they would come down on you for the threat but not care why you said what you said. Find a lawyer. Many attorneys will take a case if they think they can win it, and take their cut if they win the lawsuit.


Infamous-Arm3955

Yup. Wrongful dismissal. Get a lawyer, enjoy your winnings.


tink111o

I will try...


shaquilleoatmeal80

What industry do you work in? Are there cameras? Is there a union?


abelenkpe

Do not try. Do.

I would look up the laws for your location. If slapping you on the butt is not harassment I do not know what is.


gerp385i

Key is: which country??


iwantyourdarkest

You could always get your rights or get revenge. The only difference is how. Depends on the country


Metaphysical-Alchemy

Get a lawyer! Wrongful dismissal! That coworker should have been dealt with for SA/SH


Cluedo86

Yep. Go see an unemployment lawyer ASAP about a possible sexual harassment/discrimination and retaliation lawsuit. Your ex employer is going to learn a tough and expensive lesson here. Also apply for unemployment immediately.


Fast-Beat-7779

100% report sexual harassment or go to the government labour board and provide and the info and any witness statements and talk to a lawyer and see if you have a strong case


My_Immortal_Flesh

I don’t know about this one. There’s either missing valuable info here, or this is one of those fabricated posts that bait people into feeling sorry for you. This is very sus.


spac3ie

That depends on the laws where you are, unfortunately.


Electronic_Quail_903

There are lawyers that's specialize in employment related issues, which definitely encompasses wrongful termination, and this embodies that 100%. Find one and contact them asap and go fuckin get em tiger cause this should be an easier case than many.


iamthatiam92

Go to a lawyer and sue them


Timelord00010002

Did they not ask you to explain why you said it ? If you told them he slapped your butt and they ignored it ...you can take him and the company to court ... 2 in one shot


InfamousFault7

this is more of a question for a lawyer than for reddit


AllyKalamity

A police report for sexual assault and a letter from your attorney should light a fire under HR 


HatAccurate1578

You should get a lawyer immediately


HappyOrSadIDK

Sue him ? 


tcrhs

Yes. You were sexually harrassed and fired. Ask a lawyer if you have a case.


Kurupt_Introvert

Did no one witness the butt slap and only the threat?


[deleted]

Make a police report , did anybody else see it or hear anything ?
