Got told today someone made an HR complaint about me for being on my phone too often and slamming down objects loudly when upset (hexbear.net)

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 once got a complaint to HR that I insulted a coworkers masculinity because I said his shoes were cool. The guy then quit the next day and in his exit interview he claimed I repeatedly talked to him like he was a woman. All I can remember is when I was training him I might have called him "hun" or "silly"? I have no idea. I often call people stuff like goober, goof, homie, hun, bud, etc.

HR told me the entire office was laughing about it. I think maybe I accidentally gave the dude a kind of gay panic or something lmao

Fellas, is it gay to get complimented?
