I was fired for "sexual harrasment" last december.

Yeah you heard it. Its not really sexual harrasment tho.

I asked my coworker if she would like to go on a date sometime and she said "maybe but right now we are working".

And i asked for her phone number about 2 hours later and then she said i could give her mine.

Then another 2 hours later before she left i asked if she got it, and she said she would look me up if she needed to.

Alright... So i know from that experience she DID NOT want to go out with me after all that. But i didnt expect i would get fired for it.

Heres the questsion... Will i have a hard time getting another job? Im only 20 BTW.

You got fired for that?
That's completely ridiculous.

We aren't hearing the full story here though are we? He could have done all kinds of stuff that the company didn't like and they eventually just got sick of his behaviour. Or they could have just wanted an excuse to get rid of him. Who knows?

No really. I always showed up to work, every day i was supposed to be in, i was on time. And i was a good employee. I was even complemented by my old boss!

I think the reason why i got fired was because the company i worked at (hollywood video), has a zero tolerence stance on sexual harrasment. Even though i dont consider it sexual harrasment, the girl complained i suppose.

I dont understand why i they didnt repremand me at all, and fired me right away though.

If nothing else happened at all, then that does seem a bit extreme. Surely men and women could just use it to get rid of people they don't like?

Actually, I guess with a lot of places like that they can just fire you and hire someone else with a click of their fingers.

Legally, the only information that your old job can give to somebody is a verification that you did work there. Beyond that, they are prohibited from telling anything else.

If you are giving us the full story, and all you did was ask here out, then you shouldn't have been fired. I would suggest talking to a lawyer. They can tell you what actions you can take, you might be eligible for some sort of wrongful-dismissal compensation.

That is so NOT harassment.

explain that you were just asking her out and that you has asperger's and there shouldn't be any problem.


it doesn't sound like you were harassing her....


if anything, you should sue your workplace for wrongful termination. you were fired for sexual harassment that you obviously didn't do or at least didn't knowingly do.

I wouldn't use the "Asperger's" explanation. It sounds to me like it's an excuse. From what he posts it doesn't sound as if he was harassing her but obviously we don't know the full story.
