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'm actually pretty big, six feet tall with a big booming voice. It's not out of the question that somebody who doesn't know me could be intimidated by me. But I guarantee you the person I'm thinking of isn't actually scared or feeling unsafe. Uncomfortable, maybe, since I can be moody, but we've worked together for years and they know I'm also a big fucking pussy who wouldn't hurt a fly and in fact goes out of his way to rescue bugs from other people before they can smash them. I plucked a live bee off a coworker so I could place it on the flowers outside once.
