After years of working in an irganisation and being highly regarded, I had a work investigation which came to nothing because I'd done nothing wrong. I was suspended (unfairly imho) for months. I've been back to work after the investigation found no action to be taken and there is a distinct atmosphere and I am being excluded from various conversations etc and am definitely persona non grata.
I apologised for the inconvenience caused to some of my colleagues, who I thought were my friends. to try to improve relationships (even though I've done nothing wrong) and had it thrown back in my face with a petty reply nitpicking parts of the investigation which is over and done with.
I feel like giving up.
Am IBU to tell them I retract the apology?
YABU just allow the nitpicking
YANBU tell them to stick the apology where the sun don't shine.
