So many people are worse off than me, but the black cloud has been overhead for a few years now. Mid 2018 I ended up caught in a work place issue where I told a guy what people were saying about him, then got a please explain letter with HR. Never had this before.

Went back into the floor and vented to a friend. Got into the meeting and they played footage of me venting to a friend when I shouldn't have. I lied but they kept asking what I was talking about.... should have said "I've answered your question... move on" . Threatened me with the sack but ended up with a first and final.

I had never done anything wrong with that company in the 6 years I'd been there to that point. The HR women was fired Ironically a year later. I could tell my boss was almost ashamed with the way the meeting was held. We still have a good relationship but I haven't been the same since since. Security is all shift work, so hard to get a day job.

My anxiety flares up all the time at work. Last year 5 people were fired. So until recently I've always been a bit on edge at work as well.
