Blindsided By Betrayal At Work.
Hey guys so this is my first Reddit post and it involves work, a close friend and some drama so I'm going to change some names incase anyone from work sees this. Anyway lets get to it.
So recently while at work we had some corporate big wig coming to visit our store and inspect it. It was abit nerve racking for us all but I was on shift with my favourite two co-workers, lets call them gavin and stacy. All was good and looking up.
The day moved on as expected and my lunch break comes around.
I go into our back staff room to pick up my bag but to my shock and horror a protein shake I had from the day before that still had some contents in it had burst open in my bag.
I was so annoyed as anyone I think would be after having this happen to them still I went to clean up where it had leaked onto the floor.
I emptied what little was left in the bottle down the staff bathroom sink. Put the bottle into a tiny separate plastic bag. Filled up a mop bucket and began to clean up after myself.
After mopping up I asked stacy who was behind our counter if I could have a spare plastic bag to put my soaking bag into so while on the rest of my lunch I could bring it home with me and deal with it later.
She gave me out one and while putting it into the other plastic bag Gavin came up behind me and loudly started commenting on my bag that had leaked.
He started giving out and ranting that it stunk and that I should just get out of the store already. I tried to explain that I wanted to just tie up the bag I put my leaking bag into, clean the spot under where my bag had been moved to on the floor and throw out the bottle I had already wrapped up then I'd go, I didnt want them to have to clean up after me but he was having none of it.
At this point customers in the store who hadn't been paying attention till he raised his voice started to stare. I felt so embarrassed and just said ok fine I'm going and excused myself.
After dropping off my bag at home and returning to work I was confronted again the second I stepped into the store by Gavin who was just leaving the staff bathroom as I went to go in and get the bottle I had previously wrapped up.
Again in the middle of the store with people around he berated me saying I shouldnt have left it behind even though initially before he shoot me on I was trying to do just that and clean up after myself.
At this point I was so upset and angery I told my coworker stacy I felt like just leaving for the day then I took the rest of my break in our staff room.
Stacy told Gavin he over reacted so he came in to talk to me but I refused to talk to him about it while I was upset and asked will I need to be left alone for the remainder of my break.
Now hours later I'm still so upset by what happened. Gavin has been a long time friend of mine outside of work and before we even worked together.
I cant help but feel very disrespected because if the shoe had been on the other foot I wouldnt do that to him.
Am I over thinking this? Am I in the wrong? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
