My coworker friend threw me under the bus at work today—am I wrong to be upset?

[Anonymous]

I don't know so today I wasn’t very chatty but I was doing my job he comes over and tells me that why I’m not helping the other lady she has a lot and than comes over again and says Daniel already received a few and what about you? The day just only began I had to reset my password etc and his getting on me when I technically did my job do I have a reason to be upset like what’s wrong with him I always do my job

So I happened to work today with him and he was the quality IA ( fixes problems) anyways he approaches me early in the morning right after work began, me and this guy was receiving plus I was assigned to move certain stuff I looked around all the stuff was clear and nothing to move and received he comes over and says Julia over there has a lot to transfer aren’t you supposed to be helping something along those lines ( I didn’t even know what she was doing at the moment) and the way he said it was little bossy he could have said something along the lines as if you don’t mind can you help Julia it sounded more like I wasn’t willing to help than minutes later ohh Daniel already received a few and you haven’t? I said I just received a pallet when the day just began usually he be cool and always saying you sound good job etc today I don't know what’s his problem but I found it a bit controlling?

That does sound a little controlling. Is he your boss?

[Asker]

No just quality IA

[Asker]

Like I did all my job tasks

[Asker]

Plus I didn’t know what she was doing at the moment I had to get my scanner password to work etc so I was getting everything together and the day just began

[Opinion Owner]

Yes. He sounds like he was being more than a little annoying.

[Asker]

Any particular reason?

[Opinion Owner]

Not sure. Why do you think he did that?

[Asker]

Like tbh he ruined my mood when I was already having a bad day !

[Asker]

Seemed like he wanted attention?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe. Or he felt like asserting his authority. Maybe he did want you to pay attention to him.

[Asker]

Bc I was more quiet than usual

[Asker]

When others do IA they don’t boss around like that

[Opinion Owner]

No clue. Do you have to listen to him?

[Asker]

I mean yea he used to be a process lead before

[Asker]

But the day before he was commenting what a good job I do etc

[Opinion Owner]

Huh. Maybe he just had a bad day.

[Asker]

No he was laughing a lot

[Opinion Owner]

Hopefully he won’t do it again

[Asker]

Was that mean u think?

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah a little
