People bring it up because they are smart enough to understand “we investigated ourselves and found no signs of wrongdoing” is not a defense.
Already explained it elsewhere but, the super short version is: Law firms are nor mandatory reporters outside of the most extreme cases. They are not investigating wrongdoing. They are investigating liability. They are looking for what was done in writing and what can be explained in the event of a lawsuit (and discovery).
What? I mentioned a third party investigation and you’re saying they “investigated themselves” and brought up law firms for some reason. While completely ignoring the fact there is no evidence outside of the claims made by the ex employee
What else can you do in that situation? Fire other employees based on hearsay? Unfortunately, you have no idea what you’re talking about about. It’s perfectly fine to dislike a companies actions but let’s not perpetuate falsehoods and look like clowns.
