A colleague was showing me a photo he'd been sent on his phone when I saw a text he'd sent to another colleague slagging me off. It was nothing really vitriolic but personal and mean. I questioned him and then got very upset. He asked to talk to me about it, he was upset too. Then the manager comes into the room as well, closely followed by the assistant manager. They say they have been concerned about me but have not felt able to ask if I'm OK, but it seems it's okay for my colleagues to message each other about me. For the record I am OK and can't see what I've done that would make them concerned, they couldn't give me examples.
They tried to make out it was my fault?! I am really hurt and upset by the whole episode. The colleagues in question are mortified and have apologised but how on earth do I move on from this? I've worked with these colleagues for a number of years and have always (I thought) got on with them. I am not one to bear a grudge and am generally quite forgiving. But this has really wounded me. I have one more day to work and then I am off for a few weeks which will do me good. WWYD?
