Employee leaves workplace after being investigated for ‘unprofessional conduct’, 5 years later they are contacted by former HR: ‘Do I have something to worry about?’

When one leaves a place of work, especially when they are unhappy in said workplace, they usually hope to leave everything about it behind. Nobody wants to be reminded of unpleasant bosses, or frustrating challenges they had to deal with as an employee, all people want to do is to move on and aim for a better place in the future.

If an employee quits their job after they were wrongfully investigated for 'unprofessional conduct', you can be absolutely sure they do not wish to reopen that can of worms years later, which is what the person who wrote this Reddit story was forced to do. 5 years after OP (original poster) quit, their former HR contacts them via email and asks to schedule a talk regarding 'something related to their employment'. OP was not thrilled to receive this email and turned to Reddit to ask what they should do.
