"HR can't tell you all the reasons he is being fired - they can only talk to you about your reason. And he can't blame you for getting fired. The workplace chose to fire him - all you did was report his behavior."
Also, as days pass by, I hear MORE stories about what a terrible employee he was, everything from being handsy and inappropriate with other female employees, to being caught goofing off during work hours, lounging on the furniture with his shoes off and looking at his phone. Seems like everyone I talk to has a Charles story, and none of them are positive (another quote: "This place won't feel the same without Charles hiding in the broom closet!").
You can only do so much to protect a guy from his own stupid choices.
And of course, I felt immediately better after talking to Shrink. Feeling so blessed to have her in my life.
