Fired, passed over, false accusations

247 men are dealing with this right now

You're not alone.

From the community:

"Got fired after a group complained to HR. None of it was true but they believed them without even asking me. Lost everything I built there. Felt like I was drowning. This community helped me realize I wasn't crazy and I wasn't alone."

What helps most:

→Talk to others who've been through it
→Document everything - keep records of communications
→Know your rights - some situations may have legal recourse
→Update resume and start networking (even when you don't feel ready)
→Focus on what you can control right now
→Remember: being qualified doesn't always matter anymore, but that doesn't mean you're not valuable

If any of this sounds familiar:

You were more qualified but watched someone else get the position

Skills and experience don't always determine outcomes anymore

A hiring manager told you privately they wanted to hire you, but HR overrode the decision

Hiring managers often lose control of final hiring decisions

You were told you need to be a 'culture fit' without clear explanation

Vague rejection language that masks other considerations

You've been passed over multiple times and notice a pattern in who gets hired

Pattern recognition isn't paranoia

You can't talk about what you're experiencing without being labeled or dismissed

The inability to name the problem is part of the problem

You're not imagining it. These are real patterns men experience. Your feelings are valid.
