我差点因为一个女人的谎言丢了工作,结果她自己的人生也毁了。

Okay, so this is wild. I used to work at a big company, just a regular cubicle job. There was this woman who'd been there forever, practically next in line for a top spot. Thing is, nobody really liked her, especially the guys. She even made one woman cry all the time.
One day, I accidentally bumped into her while rushing to give my supervisor something he needed ASAP. My hands were full, but she filed a harassment claim saying I grabbed her butt. After two weeks of hell, I got my supervisor to pull security footage, which saved my job.
I was friends with a guy she liked to chat with, even though he wasn't a fan. I gave him a recorder pen and asked him to try and get her to talk about trying to get me fired. He got her to admit to that and three other times she'd gotten men fired with false claims.
I took the recording and sent copies to HR, the three other guys she'd screwed over, my boss and his boss, her husband (anonymously), and everyone on the board. Basically, I forced the company to get rid of her because:
* Two of the guys were looking to sue.
* I was about to sue too.
* The evidence was undeniable.
She lost her job, her career, her references, and probably her marriage. No severance, no PTO payout. She emailed me calling me an evil bastard and hoping karma gets me. Just to be clear, I live in a state where I don't need consent to record someone.
**UPDATE:**
After she was fired, they checked her company email and found out she'd been stealing thousands on the corporate card, charging fancy dinners with clients and buying gifts for her bosses. She also used company flight miles for personal trips.
Turns out, there were even more false claims we didn't know about, maybe even the reason her predecessor left. HR's digging through years of footage, and about nine people around her were fired, maybe more, plus some suspensions.
They've either forgotten about me or are saving me for last, and I'm not getting involved in this mess. They're handing out NDAs like crazy. Lawsuits are happening; two of the guys I sent info to are suing the company hard. One of them almost lost his marriage, so I'm glad this is helping him.
It looks like the company is going to prosecute her. Someone said her husband left her, but I don't have proof. My friend who got the recording got a huge severance (nine months' pay) and PTO, and he's starting at a big tech company soon.
She sent me another message calling me the most evil person ever and hoping I die.
Me: "Okay. How's your husband?"
**EDIT:** They're looking at about \$2.3 million she spent on food and flights in five years! How is that even possible?
**UPDATE 2:**
So, to wrap things up after a week:
About 18 people were fired, pushed out, or given severance to leave. She was embezzling money on food, gifts, bribes, and other stuff. She made six such claims, and someone anonymously informed the other people she got fired. One of them was the person she replaced, and he's going to sue her hard. She basically lied to climb the corporate ladder.
I had to sign an NDA, but I got a severance of 14 months' pay, plus my PTO and sick time. I'm starting a new job at a tech company soon, so I'm not worried. I also got three letters of recommendation and good references from men who hated her.
Honestly, I'm glad I'm out of there. Even though I did nothing wrong, all the women in the office sided with her and were giving me a hard time. I'm talking to a lawyer about the hostile work environment. NDAs don't protect against illegal activity.
One person on the board is stepping down, and another is on a sudden vacation. Not sure what that's about.
My friend who recorded for me is working at the tech company as of today. He started early and put his severance into savings.
My boss (a good friend) got the liar's position and is cleaning house, moving people he suspects benefitted from her schemes to different departments.
From what I've heard, her marriage is probably over, and she might be facing prison time for grand theft, defamation, and other stuff.
She got my personal email and info from her assistant, who has been fired. She's been emailing and harassing me. I talked to the police, and they said I have the right to defend myself if she threatens me. I have documentation and recordings. She's crazy.
She's now calling me a hate-filled misogynistic piece of shit who will burn in hell, a traitor, and a liar. Karma's going to kill me, apparently. Seriously, what the hell?
I'm just going to enjoy my time off, play some video games, drink, and relax. This mess is no longer my problem.
I probably won't update this anymore. I only did it because of the requests. Thanks for reading and for the support and advice.
