Getting the blame

[Gogogirlgirl]

Hi I'm stressed to bits at the moment. I've been harassed by a colleague for a while..low level stuff like talking about me at team meetings that I don't attend, sending messages to colleagues about me, few bits on social media. I was so upset I think I overreacted by just avoided this person and not responding to group chats they started on our works channel.
It's come to a head though and this oerson has formally complained about me bullying them and dragged a couple of colleagues in who were trying to stick up for me.
I have a hr meeting tomorrow and I'm terrified and don't know how to defend myself...devastated

Firstly I'd remove them off any social media and set your settings to private. Make a list of any issues you have had- dates , times, witnesses etc and take it with you. Keep it factual. Listen to what hr have to say and dispute anything that can be disproven . Ask what will happen going forward.

Thank you
.im so nervous my teeth are chattering. When this person first started I reached out to them and tried to make them feel part of the team.. so feel so betrayed.

I have blocked them on social media xx

Take some screenshots and take them along with you if possible?

Good idea thank you..I will

Good luck for tomorrow

Thank you..think I'll be having a sleepless night x

I hope it went okay on Friday @Gogogirlgirl 💐

Hi thank you so much..it actually went really well. I had print outs of the social media posts, colleagues made some very positive comments about me etc
Upshot is the person who claimed I bullied them has had a written warning (they had absno evidence that i bullied them) and I have had an apology. I feel like a weight has been lifted and I have slept like a log since xx

That's good news @Gogogirlgirl - I am glad it's worked out well for you and you've been able to relax since 🙂

Thank you..xx
