Am I going to get the sack? AIBU?

They would refer to this in my place of work as "closing the circle" - making sure everyone involved in the drunk colleague incident has the appropriate information, and no more, is briefed on confidentiality, and, if necessary, is aware that they may be contacted about disciplinary proceedings and not to panic about that.

Just go along, don't over share re colleague but okay to say they contacted you feeling remorseful. If your friend hasn't been sacked for being drunk and abusive in a work setting, what could they possibly have on you that you wouldn't know about?

You'll be fine. A boss can't sack you without a huge hullaballo, and a landlord can't get rid of you if you were not paying rent. Welcome to England!

Knowing about something and actually witnessing it, are two different things. I doubt you are in trouble, more likely they want to pick your brains because all the Director presumably has is what the Manager told them

You are anxious anyway and this rumination will continue until you get an answer.

You can't be doing much wrong if you have got a payrise can you, as these tend to come after performance reviews.

I know someone who was sacked here in the UK without any warning or process having been followed. So yes it can happen but OP from what you have said you may just be told to stay out of HR issues.

If you were given a pay rise are they going to give you more work/responsibilities?

I spoke to the manager who she did this too and asked he called her back due to how distraught she was. All was ok, until today- when the manager said ‘I’ve told the director, just because of how out of control it got with her emotions and we’ve referred her on to some therapy as she has a lot going on at home, I said you knew and helped arrange meetings etc ’

If I was your boss I would have had a chat immediately and asked you to not get involved. An incident where an employee 'squares up' to another and slags them off is almost certainly a disciplinary incident and not for you to be interfering and asking the other manager (the victim!) to call your friend and pacify them. I would have said that any issues and need for therapy is confidential and for whoever looks after welfare to deal with, not managers chatting and involving colleagues.

So my guess is she is going to ask you to stay well out of it for anything not strictly included on your role JD.

But sacked?
No.

Probably a debrief (or fishing expedition) re drunk colleague and advice on keeping what you know about the situation confidential. May also be checking whether you should be a witness in disciplinary proceedings for that colleague. That's exactly the kind of thing you'd have a quick, short notice, vaguely described, catch up about. Shouldn't be a problem for you at all. I wouldn't be inclined to express opinions on it or defend colleague who squared up to manager.

You are anxious so I understand how and why you've catastrophised this.

However, my assumption here is that you've done absolutely nothing wrong and your boss genuinely just needs/wants a chat with you. It might be about this awayday thing but that'll be to get your account rather than dragging you over the coals for anything and certainly not firing you.

I would advise that you let her know that you were worried by the request as hopefully that will help her understand why it would be helpful to give a little more context in future emails.

Congrats on the pay rise. She'll not have replied to your thank you email as it would just have been a thank you for a thank you!

As a manager who has a lot of quick catch ups, this is almost certainly because she wants to hear what the colleague said to you / how she was when she spoke to you - or it’s to check something specific with you (either about the away day or not).

Are you getting any help with your anxiety? I have horrendous anxiety, and counselling and medication have helped me enormously. I know how exhausting and all-consuming anxiety can be

The catch-up is definitely about this.

They will be trying to oust your friend though because of her drunken behaviour. It’s difficult to get rid of someone though, looks like they’re playing the long game, start with therapy and then something else etc.. and eventually she’ll walk!

where can I apply, becauser a pay rise every week, I am interested 😂

I'd say it's most likely to be a thank you and an 'are you OK?' , if it's about that at all.

She could be just checking how you are if you’ve been struggling etc

Are you in America? If you are in the uk have you any idea how hard it is to sack someone.

It'll be org changes or some info she wants to share or something dull.

No one gives out payrises and sacks someone.
I also dont believe it was given in error as suggested upthread in large orgs payroses go through multiple approves and checks.

For goodness sake, is that really the only thing you can think of. You are as bad as her!!!!

It’s likely they’ll just want to hear what you know about the Awayday and who decided not to inform the director.

@mumstheword1x so, what drama happened on the Awayday, this sounds interesting?

Maybe it is about another pay rise!

This. You are massively overthinking.

Only thing I can think of is maybe you weren’t meant to get the pay rise so the meeting is to tell you that.

Agreed. Maybe it’s to take on more responsibility or something similar? Change in process?
