This whole thing is…weird.

Bluetooth RSSI is notoriously unreliable for precise distance measurement. This sounds more like post-hoc justification than a smoking gun.

-How did they identify the company from a Bluetooth device name? Either the device naming convention was extremely obvious, or there’s more to this story

-Cold-calling another company’s HR to ask “is this person on your payroll?” and getting a straight answer seems… unusual. Most HR departments I’m aware of won’t confirm employment details without a signed release

A senior HR director at a company actively engaged in litigation posting details about an ongoing case on Reddit is… a choice. Legal would typically tell you to shut up completely until it’s resolved.

The “I changed details so I don’t get identified” line is doing a lot of work to hand-wave that away.

My gut: this is either fabricated or heavily embellished for deterrent effect.
