Good afternoon!
I work at a small bank, and I'm a float banker. So I go to all the different branches when they need help or have someone out for whatever reason.
I absolutely love my job, but recently there has been a situation at a branch that I did go to HR for, and I was basically just called sensitive. I left it at that, and moved on with my life.
BUT this current situation has made me absolutely distraught.
I come to this branch that I've been to before, but this time I'm at the drive up, and it's not connected to the main branch.
I come in, and a transaction is already logged and written down but not processed, I'm supposed to be the one to process it. The people who wrote it all down and verified it left soon after I arrived and got all settled in.
WELL, turns out a transaction that was left wasn't verified correctly, and it was short. I message the group this and I was told to process it anyways? I didn't have duel control so I didn't change anything on the deposit slip, soon after I scan it to the proof department, they call me, I explain everything, and now I'm calling another person whos higher up in retail.
They have copies of all messages sent, and can obviously see me on the cameras.
Now, lunch time comes around. Two people come to the drive up, A and B. A, I've worked before, sweet person, easy going. B is brand new to banking! Not a clue whats going on, and thats perfectly fine! I was showing them how to do things, and what things are, and how I do things, and how they might be a little different because I go to so many branches.
Everything is fine! Or so I thought.
My manager gets off the phone with the other higher up retail person with this branches manager, and says person A said I was gossiping in front of new person B and making them uncomfortable.
I have replayed this 45 minutes back in my head a billion times and NOTHING I said was negative.
I'm crying alone in the drive up at this point because I have never been accused of gossiping, and I asked what did I say? Because I'll absolutely apologize if I said something wrong or hurt someone.
My manager never got details of what was said. But just said that it was inappropriate to gossip.
So I have been accused of gossiping without proof, and when person A came back to bring something to the drive up, I was already in tears and they asked what was wrong.
I asked them if I said anything that made them upset or uncomfortable and they said no, and had no idea what I was talking about.
The manager of this branch has not reached back out to mine to give details of what was said.
The thing I am worried about is, I'm worried I accidently let something slip WEEKS ago with the HR problem I had WEEKS ago. Because the manager and I were in the branch alone together but I really don't think I let something slip, and I know FOR A FACT I did not say anything negative to A or B.
I'm worried I'm going to get fired or something stupid because I know 'gossip' can be harassment.
I have been at this company for 2 years and I adore my job, and my anxiety is through the roof and ruining my Thanksgiving.
