I'm 99.9% sure it's a specific person who's doing it just to be petty and I am so fucking irritated that someone would narc on me to HR for being on my phone during work just because I didn't take kindly to them talking down to me like a dog when going over paperwork mistakes with me a few weeks back
I talked discreetly with someone I can trust about it and they were pretty shocked that I said they had reported they felt "unsafe," when multiple people who know me describe me as a teddy bear. It was pretty gut-wrenching to think someone feels unsafe around me because of misunderstanding me because I've been through that before, but the more I think about it the more I feel like someone is trying to weaponize the HR process against me because they don't like me.
Just another reason for me to get the fuck out of this shit job
I definitely have this. I try to be understanding - I can't know what everybody's life experiences are and if I just happen to look and sound like an abusive parental figure then I can't help that and they can't help their response to it - but it fukken sucks.
Come to think of it my dog has the same problem. Some people have had bad experiences with big dogs and it doesn't matter how much of a sweetie she is, she scares them.
