Not sure how I feel about this. Employees should not be harassed. But setting precedents for corporations to sue individuals based on their interactions with employees is a dangerous dance. I just told a mod in another sub they handled a user posting in the wrong space poorly. What if that could be seen as harassment? Altogether though definitely don’t be a racist shitbag.
I think it’s fine. Calling this an “interaction” is a pretty significant understatement.
You’re going to get sued over a handful of text or not liking somebody. If you decide to run a campaign to harass an employee into quitting/suicide/etc, and throw in death threats, along with packages delivered to their residence… You should 100% get what’s coming to you.
That should be part of criminal justice not a justice case.
If the company I work would get half a mil for the pain I get put through they would drag me through even more shit. Without an extra penny.

The key difference is that what you did, at least as you described it, was actually not harassment.
