You can have friends at work but the moment that bus come around to run someone over and it’s either you or them they will pick you most of the time.
I became friends with this dude at my work named Jakson, we hung out, played games together, even been to each others homes for a cookout or two!
Then one day I get called into the office and was told I need to stop harassing him…… this shit came out of nowhere and I didn’t understand, I told my bosses I’ve never even contacted him outside of work except through the Xbox, everything else we’ve done has been planned here at work or via text where he texted me first. I had to go through and show them my text and everything just to keep my job.
About 2 months go by and he comes over to my area asking why I’ve been avoiding him and I said “ you filed a HR complaint against for harassment, so I’m making sure I don’t bother you anymore “ and he told me he filed that just to have a excuse to avoid a write up….. assuming I’d understand.
No. You nearly cost me my job because you wanted to avoid a written warning , fuck that shit I’m out!
Now I don’t do anything with any coworkers unless I got a paper trail, I just got really lucky with him.
Fool me once…. You won’t get a chance to do it again I promise
