Strange encounter with coworker
Throwaway for obvious reasons.
So I have a hybrid job. Today was a WFH day.
We clock in at 8 AM. We (my team and I) were having technical issues with the software that we use. Around 8:40, I stepped away to use the bathroom and get myself a cup of tea. I did not take my phone with me. I was having a conversation with my husband when he told me my manager was calling my phone. He has never called me prior to this. I picked up to him asking me if I'm okay. Obviously, I was confused as fuck and said "Yes...?" He then told me that one of my coworkers, let's call her Jane, messaged him, saying she's been trying to get in contact with me and couldn't reach me. While he's explaining this, I check my laptop and see messages from Jane who asked if I'm "in today" at 8:42 AM. Another message at 8:45 AM saying she's "worried" about me and if I'm okay. She also texted my cellphone. 8:46 AM her text was asking me the same question, "Hey are you in today?"
Another message at 8:51 AM, "Okay now I'm freaking out please call me back"
I had a missed call from her after the text messages and that's when she messaged the manager, had him call me, and before I got to hang up with him she was already calling me again. I finished my call with him and picked up her call and told her I'm fine and that I stepped away without my cellphone. She breathed a sigh of relief and said she thought something was wrong and that someone broke into my house??????
I just started this job 1 month ago and this whole situation happened in a span of like 10 minutes.
2 hours later she texts me asking me if I want to hang out with her later this week.
What..... the....... fuck.
I just can't get this situation out of my head.
