Bit of a backstory
I volunteered at this charity for over a year and hundreds of hours. It's to do with helping young women build careers for their future in STEM.
Fast forward many months later, when I was an intern at work someone made a false accusation against me.
"/u/idigress31337 thinks women should have less rights than men"
and here's the series of events that fucking followed:
- Escalated to my manager
- Escalated to the CISO
- Escalated to my school by proxy
- CISO says "one more thing and your fired"
And this whole time:
- No one asked me to deny, accept or refute the claim
- No one asked me if what I said was true
- I had no fucking idea this was going on all along
- No due diligence, no investigation -- nothing
And so I offered my resignation and told them that that allegation is complete fucking bullshit, because it is not what I said, and that the only witness there attests that it's not true at all -- not only because it is something that happened many months ago and is just being bought now.
Just like that, everyone shoves it aside and I don't even receive an apology at all. All the while I was treated like shit during that time.
And you know what, if you hate a guy, the easiest way to ruin his life is to just raise a false allegation. People won't even think twice. I fucking hate the corporate world.

I'm a bitter, resentful, paranoid and total asshole now. More or less, yeah.

I had other problems to worry about. New internship, health / drug issues, other relationship issues. Honestly wanted to kill myself.

Thank you but that would only open me up to more retaliation. Read my other comment for more context

It has a focus on women, but everyone is welcome.

They already assumed it was true, and hence why it is was used as "one more strike and you're fired"

Thank you.
I worked as an intern. The volunteering I did was independent, and at another charity not related to the company I was interning for.

Ran workshops teaching coding to school kids, for free. Few hours per week, weekly.

This sub is pretty misogynistic based on a lot of the replies. I think part of my issue is because I was male, but also other aspects of discrimination and bias were at play -- eg race-based. I appreciate the replies and discussion this has created but there are some serious fucking fruitloops amongst ya'll....
