A few years back I was in charge of a manufacturing facility. We had a absolutely terrible employee who was always causing grief for everyone one around him. One day after speaking to him about yet another infraction (his record was filled with such things) he responded by saying that I made a racial slur towards him and filed a report. Corporate HR got involved with this investigation and of course found nothing but would not fire this employee for his false accusations and damage to my reputation. He later left the company due to attendance infractions but I have always been solely disappointed by the poor decision (lack of 'balls') from the corporate HR. I left the company shortly thereafter. One day I hope to run into this old employee one day.

The truly sad part that when an employee falsifies these reports it truly empowers this scum - they have basically become untouchable (please note that I am referencing the untrue and unfounded cases - I thoroughly realize that there are actual cases of sexual harassment and racial discrimation in the workplace). The company, in most cases, is afraid the fire them since this action would be viewed as retaliation if the employee went to the labor board.
