[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't follow which contractor is which.  Maybe try Contractor A, B, C for clarity?[/quote]

I worked for Contractor A. That contract ended. I went to work for Contractor B. Contractor A is now a subcontractor to Contractor B. Dude from Contractor A emails me for drinks and dinner. I politely declined, and forwarded the email to my Contractor B's HR department. Next day, my employer Contractor B fired me and said I told them the job was too difficult for me to do. I never said that.

I found another contractor job within 3 weeks.

[b]I still wonder what I could have done to save my job at Contractor B without dating the dude from Contractor A[/b], a good twenty years older than me. I was not interested in him or encouraging him to ask me out. [/quote]

You could have NOT reported him to HR. He didn't do anything wrong. He didn't say if you didn't go out with him then he'd have you fired. It's not illegal, immoral or against company policy to ask out a coworker. There was no reason for you to report it to HR.

Having said all that, it's weird they fired you, and you're better off having gotten out.[/quote]
