This has happened to me 2 times already, 4 years working at this place.

• What managers say: “on day X you did Y.” Then they say nothing more, like expecting an answer from me.

• What I find makes sense to say: “coworker Z (or a coworker, without naming) claims on day X you did Y. Is this true?”

To me only the second example is neutral, the way management asks question # 1 is accusatory and assumes you’re already guilty.

Am I very thin skinned?
