'My coworker got suspended because of me': Employee calls out coworker for behavior toward cleaning lady, HR steps in

This employee needs to recognize that their coworker very much did this to himself. When you're rude to someone in the office, whether it's a superior, or an equal, or especially if it's someone below your standing on the totem pole, your behavior deserved to be called out. So as far as we are concerned, the employee did the right thing.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/gayroto, who explained that after the coworker berated a cleaning lady for preparing coffee in the office kitchenette area, OP tried to de-escalate the situation right as HR stepped in. When HR noticed that OP was visibly upset and asked what was wrong, OP told the truth. It wasn't an act of revenge; it was just the straight-up truth of what happened. So when the entitled coworker got suspended, he had no one to blame but himself.
