At my previous job, a subordinate filed a sexual harassment claim against me because I used crude humor in the workplace. Theres a lot to this story, but my position is the complaint was motivated because I was about to discipline this person, and the claim is pretty weak.
That said, my employer made my life hell and after nearly a year of “investigation” I quit because I hated my life. I wasnt fired. No discipline. No settlement agreement. I just quit.
Im now a federal vendor going through public trust moderate clearance. Should I indicate I quit following allegations of misconduct? Will this barr me from an IT role as a contractor? Are there mitigating steps I can take?
