Everyone has had that moment of panic when you send a gossipy text about someone and worry that you accidentally sent it to that person. Nine times out of ten, you're just being paranoid, but every so often, you find yourself with a ton of explaining to do.
Now, what would you do if this situation occurred but it wasn't about a family or friend and instead this was about a coworker? What you do if the roles were reversed and you didn't send the unkind message, but this time, you received it? Would you confront the coworker? Would you wait until they made the discovery on their own?
This employee got a teams message saying, "she really grinds my gears." Based on the meeting that just wrapped up and the coworker who sent the message, the Redditor immediately knew that she was the "she" in the message. While the coworker was apologetic, the Redditor did not stop herself from telling her how much the message hurt. She also stopped listening to the apologies and the lame attempts on her coworker's part to justify her actions. What was said could not be unsaid, and the coworker knew she just made the dynamic tense and awkward for the foreseeable future. Good luck to her the next time they bump into each other in the elevator again!
