Comment on Facebook by Office Manager

[ByOliveWriter]

I was in a job a few years ago and there was an issue with the heating. It gets really hot in the office, 26 degrees in winter which is really drying and I was going home with head aches. Raised this with managers who didn't do anything and than health and safety guy. I should be this ill from working in an office.

He said he would follow it up and agreed it was hot. The operations manager contacted the office manager to see how the temp was in the office - to which it was said I was wearing a coat (there are two people with the same name in the office but she shortens her name). The director of HR was CC and anyway I got a job with a £5k pay increase a few weeks later as it got way out of hand.

Anyway I was surfing Facebook and the office manager has made a comment about it on her facebook and tagged my manager and the person who sits next to me. The comment was brief along the lines of "what do I have to deal with".

Aibu in thinking that's not right?

Why do you care? You don’t work there anymore.

Careful that you don’t start gatekeeping present tense.

OP can remember the exact date The Incident ™ occured.

#TemperatureGate

Can people please stop saying gatekeeping as @HagTime is running out of gin.

It still wouldn't show as recently if it was posted 3 years ago, maybe you don't know how facebook works.

Nobody is gatekeeping FFS.

You posted on AIBU?
People said you are unreasonable, if you think people saying you are being unreasonable is gatekeeping the WHY ASK?

Thanks for the explanation/glossary @Manxexile I thought it was just me who was baffled by the post.
Don't suppose you can explain the whole 'gatekeeping' relevance too can you? Has it got something to do with gaslighting? 😅

If I’ve understood this right, you want to know if you’re unreasonable to be upset about a comment on Facebook posted by an ex-colleague, 3 years ago, that may or may not be about you, because you’re not mentioned by name?

Heavens. This has really escalated in my absence.

Are we going to make it a day of national remembrance?

This is all very confusing. Why where you wearing a coat if you were too hot?

Haven’t a clue what you’re talking about

Top tier question, thank you. Stand by.....

Imagine being the poor fucker that had a coat on all this time

I’m struggling to believe something as trivial as the office climate would warrant a post on Facebook by someone who must be pretty inactive if you only had to scroll down a couple of posts to find something from 3 years ago.

😂

SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE, OP??

Bonus layer to this entertainment: thinking about how completely bonkers OP’s “raising the issue” must have been that multiple coworkers were talking about it on their personal facebooks and that OP’s manager at the time felt she needed a day of work to catch up because of it all. I’m guessing it was top-tier crazy coworker stuff based on the communication style we’ve gotten here.

Of course the other possibility is that OP has just assumed these extremely vague comments are about her because there couldn’t possibly have been anything else happening in these two people’s lives that week.

Someone else had their coat on whilst OP was boiling

Are you gatekeeping "gatekeeping"...

Wasn’t it a case of mistaken identity? Or have I (too) misunderstood the story

You've got a point there.

<strokes beard>

This is the most exciting post iv seen since the penis bedside watercup post of 2023. I have no idea what’s going on and replying to the OP is like poking a tiger.

Certainly the weirdest since Keyansier's day.

Tbf, this OP is significantly less irritating.

Am I high?

There's nothing trivial about office climate. Some of the biggest dramas in my office have centred around the aircon temperature!

You need to keep better diary records à la OP because the fabled Penis Beaker was (prepare to feel old) 2013!

You asked for opinions - mine is YABU

I couldn't a toss what someone wrote about me a few years ago. Let it go or don't but no point asking AIBU then being prickly to people who are giving their opinions, just because you disagree with them
