I got fired for a dumb reason
Maybe I’m in the wrong here but I’m not sure so I work (worked) for Lowe’s and it was a great job honestly I loved it however we recently had a transgender person come into my dept and they were super chill honestly 10/10 they were going from woman to man which I don’t care their name is Clayton anyway one of my other coworkers she was the head cashier her name is Madison. Anyway Madison asked me what Clayton went by so I explained Clayton went by he him she her it they don’t care is exactly how I said it anyway come two weeks later I get told I’m under investigation and another two weeks go by and I get fired when asked why it’s because Madison reported me for calling Clayton an It so my question is am I in the wrong here? I went to Clayton right after I was initially told about the investigation and apologized immediately and their response was that they don’t give a damn what they are called
Edit so a few updates first due to some comments let me explain Clayton has told me when I first met them they went by HE HIM SHE HER IT see that IT as a pronoun therefore no harm done when I said it
Second HR called me back today some dude that was already pissed off to be alive I answered the phone and told him I’d be recording the phone call because my lawyer has advised me to do so ( I live in a one party consent state for that) he threw a fit saying he wouldn’t talk to me if I recorded the call and that it was illegal for me to do so so naturally I told him I wouldn’t and we had our conversation he asked for me details about how I got fired if I was told anything when I was fired and if they could talk to Clayton I said yes please talk to Clayton cause I know Clayton will stand up for me on this
