No it was someone working on one of the project parts but they didn't complain to HR they mentioned it to their manager who then brought it up but didn't lodge a complaint for a warning.
That same manager then apologised and said that he didn't intend / want it to be something formal like that at all but it seemed too late.
- meric 10y agoI suggest just taking it at face value - it's a warning. Don't swear again. Make it clear you regret swearing and being unprofessional in that instance and it won't happen again. I think that's the best way to go whether they're "building a case" or only wanted to issue you a warning.
- mrmondo 10y agoYeah that was absolutely where I was going with it, I just had a number of people say that it was quite an over-reaction which is why I asked if anyone else had heard of such a response before.
- zhte415 10y agoWhen something gets taken to HR they likely have policies that kick-off automatically. I don't know the size of your organsiation, but adherence to these procedures will get checked in any audit of the HR department a medium+ size company does. Hands are tied, wheels go in motion. As another poster also said, this could very much be part of the toxin healing you described. An aside: I recommend anyone reading this to keep a warm relationship with your HR; don't need to be friends but simply warm. As well as showing you're a colleague, wheels are oiled for when difficult or unexpected organisational problems arise and need to be solved down the line. Not suggesting this of the OP, but in these discussions it can often turn into 'us vs. them' which is absolutely wrong.
