Question: Being written up at work was this right or wrong?

  • I told a friend (coworker ) at work after we had a benefits meeting on our insurance that I am going to tturn in my paper work to HR tomorrow. My friend said give it to thje HR Assist. Beacuse HR lost my Insurance paper with all my private info on it and that made me upsaet, but HR did find the misplaced paper very late that day. So I turned it in to HR assist who said I needed to give it to HR. The assist said she knows that HR looses a lot of important papers and that I should ask her in one week if she processed my paper work :(. Well, 5 days went by and another co-worker said she had something for me and to meet her at the copy machine. I did and this coworker gave me my insurance paper that she found on the copy machine. WOW? I was upset. I went to confront the HR person and she could not find my papers and when she did they were copies and not originals and i gave her the originals. I took this to my boss who said I need to write an incident report because HR has been misplacing a lot of things and she needs to be reprimended. HR assist asked what progress has HR made and I told her. Well, my friend the co-worker walked in while we were talking and chimed in by adding what happen to her. The HR assist told her she need to write incident report like me and the HR Assist walked away. I started to fill out my incident report when my friend wanted to add to mine because she did not want to write one up. Later that day I walked into the HR office to drop my time sheet off and I said "Don't loose this" and the HR lady turned to me and was crying and said she lost some company credit cards. I told her to calm down and look thourgh everything slowly. an hour later she found the cards. I decided not to turn in the report as she was already stressed out. 2 days later my boss asked me for the incident report and told me I needed to turn it in as the HR person needed to know she was making mistakes. 3 days later I was given my 90 day review and it was all positive with an exception to one thing. It stated that I broke confideiality by sharing my insurance paper business. My boss said they are not going any further with my incident report because I shared the problem with my coworker friend and that I should be written up because it was gossip!? she made note of it on my 90 day review. What? I walked away confused? It was not gossip or hersay. I said I was turning in my insurance paper and my friend said give it to HR assist. What the hell happen here? Should I write a letter to be put in my files to what exactly happen, as I am working on my BSHS/M and do not want this to affect my career. I need advice fast as I want to confront my boss on tuesday October 14 when she gets back from her vacation. HELP!!! please.


  • This question is way too long.


  • You say your boss said they were not going to pursue it. Then I suggest you drop it too, before it escalates into something you would rather not happen..


  • That doesn't sound like something that should go on your review, but should go in the HR asst's review. As you say, write your version of what happened and include it in your file. But make sure you spell everything correctly and use paragraph breaks.
