AIBU after being reported for apparently targeting a member of staff

[Vintageshirtsearch]

OK no one is going to believe this to be true but I need to share it. I was spoken to today by my line manager as I've been reported in our 'call it out' policy. I made a member of staff feel targeted and picked on.
I bet you won't be able to guess what I did that made them feel so bad.
It's so crackers I actually thought my manager was joking.
Anyone want to guess?

Eh?

Oh FFS. A random comment about celebrity wedding makes the OP “snarky or nihilistic”? What rubbish.

Our country is doomed if we have such wet wipes.

Please add the answer to your original post - that shit is INSANITY - is it really that you said you didn't understand the hype of TS??? It can't be. I would have raised a grievance against anyone who tried to 'pull me up' for expressing a basic opinion at work. Freedom of speech and it sounds like you were on your break too. Ask HR for an itemised list of acceptable work conversations because you're now terrified of speaking. Ffs.

It’s honestly pathetic that someone feels they need to complain about this to a manager. I would counter it with anxiety about speaking to colleagues for fear of repercussions. It would really concern me that this kind of thing can happen.

@Vintageshirtsearch pray to god the Complainer doesn’t read this evening’s DM. The 1000 person wedding sounds utterly dire.

And I say this as someone who spent an ungodly amount for two tickets to Eras, enjoyed it immensely and rates Red as one of my favourite albums ever.

But clearly they both said - hey we both work in a stadium!!! Let’s do it there it will be so cute and then we won’t have to leave anyone we’ve ever met or worked with out.

No one had the balls to tell them - a stadium will look tacky no matter what. You will hage 3 hours of staggered arrivals. Rude.

And a buffet. I’m sorry but I bloody hate queuing for my dinner at a wedding. And I am not an A list celebrity.

Your colleague has lost their mind and needs to get a grip.

Definitely YANBU, OP - it’s a them problem. I bet they have a (in their case fake) diagnosis and are the perpetual victim type.

I’d have bloody loved to have been on the guest list. I can also see why most other sane-minded folk would not.

id have loved to see the face of the poor manager that had to take this seriously.

This. I would guess she is merrily counting her millions (good for her) and having the lols at the grown adults losing their shit because other gown adults don’t like her music, wedding coverage etc.

Fucking hell. They're batshit.

I see no one has held the OP to account for stating that Harry Styles is a twat. I don't even like Harry Styles but I quite feel I'd like to take offence at this assertion thank you very much.

You could’ve said that Taylor & Travis make a terrible pair.
Christ. That may have sent her to the hospital.

When you were giving you version of the “incident” to your line manager … when you say didn’t come up - are you saying you didn’t mention that you’d been agreeing with someone and gave your version of what you’d said and you’d been agreeing to? Really?! @Vintageshirtsearch

Yes of course I told the true story but I didn't ask whether the other colleague had been spoken to
I didn't think of it at the time but I'll gey more clarity when I go in today

Actually yes, this. 100%. You could say you’ve been reflecting on it and now feel uncomfortable expressing personal opinions on non-work topics. You felt you understood what ‘appropriate’ was but now, given you had thought it was totally ok, you have no idea what is expected at this work place.

Key word is ‘one’.

No, but I would be sad for a day or so.

Would you take leave if Taylor Swift, heaven forbid, died or just fell off the radar and said she was resigning and was no more in the business?

Call yourself a Swiftie fan?! 😆

Not a Swiftie ‘fan’, no. I AM a Swiftie.

What's so amazing about Taylor above other artists? I like a few of her songs, but I don't know much about her. I was amazed that she's 37.

Give over

Dear lord! Her fans could be so annoying and over the top sometimes. I'm not exactly a fan of her music, I think she's ok, but her fanbase behaviour makes people hate her so much more than her music ever could!
