This is indeed the correct thing to do, if the harassment can be verified or is at a level that merits such termination.
I once was involved in a disciplinary case where a group of unionized employees claimed one employee was harassing them by having a bad odor every day. They put to their steward that this was a hostile work environment. I documented several times where I personally talked to the employee, never smelt a thing.
Should I have fired or moved that employee?
A lot of people here make quite a few assumptions on the extremely limited info provided…
Umm, no. Someone being forced to move to a different location based on accusations is about as silly as firing them over accusations. They can and will file a complaint with the state labor board.
Have any of you actually worked before…?
That’s cool. When you do get into the workforce, you’ll find it’s never as black and white as it seems. I’ve run into just as many people claiming victim when in reality they are the problem. Not saying that is the case with this person, but moving everyone that they claim is harassing them is foolish and leaves your company open to retaliation claims.
Now you know.
It doesn’t make your terrible ideas any less terrible. So far I’ve given you several reasons why they are terrible, and you have replied with nonsense about your age as if it’s relevant.
Hint: It isn’t
EDIT: Also, I asked you in my post (it was the only question that was asked in the entire post) “Have any of you actually worked before…?” To which you *replied * “Umm, no.” So tell me again how I made an assumption and don’t know shit about your experiences. I will make one assumption, you’ve been having trouble with communication ever since you started working at 12.
Moving the harassers to different locations is the proper thing to do instead.
No. Terminating the harasser is the proper thing to do. And contact local law enforcement if there was any criminal conduct.
Moving the harasser means they’ll continue their actions somewhere else.

I’m over 60 and have worked since I was 12. You don’t know shit about my experiences but are arrogant enough to think otherwise.
