How can you tell it's fake?
This is a dead giveaway. HR took a report of a decade long conspiracy in stride and simply reversed all negative consequences quickly and painlessly, with a formal apology cherry on top? Yeah right.
A different person, also a dirty-player, accused my boss of trying to sandbag her, and threatened to play the race card and get him buried for it. my boss said something to the effect of "you know that's not true, as does everyone on this call" and her reply was "lol who cares, we know who HR will side with".
There was an HR complaint, and I eventually dragged out the recording to cover my boss. Boss got a light talking to but they let him off, and the shady PM eventually got rotated, two months later, to another project before "deciding to spend time with her family".
I got reprimanded heavily, transferred off a juicy project, and made to sign another round of NDAs. Even though I just saved them from one, maybe two lawsuits.
Point is: HR doesn't do happy endings most of the time.
The fact that so many people in this thread immediately suspected this to be fake is pretty telling.
If a story is bombastic, it's safer to assume it's fake. Reddit incentivizes OPs to get engagement.
Not to mention the stories are usually wildly dramatised as if the persons involved are TV characters.
10 years and you didn't once think something was wrong with the computer? LOL
