We had an away day as team (hardly away as it was 20 minutes from the office). On the way there I got into a car accident, the driver went through a red light. No one was hurt, but my car couldn’t be driven and I was shaken up.
I rang my manger and couldn’t get through to him. I then rang a colleague (Sarah) who I’m on friendly terms with and told her and asked her to please pass the message on but I would continue to try and reach him. All good, spoke with manager.
It’s no secret to some colleagues, I don’t like my job and it does make me unhappy. I returned to work the next day and a different colleague told me that Sarah had told her that I’d potentially crashed my car on purpose because I didn’t want to attend the event.
Aibu to think this is a disgusting rumour to be spreading - that insinuates it’s either all made up or I purposely put myself and strangers lives at risk to get out of a work event???
