Antiwork

Co-worker left their email up on shared computer.

So my co-worker left their email signed in and open on a shared computer that is accessible by the entire office. I was the next one to use said computer, and even though I should not have, I scrolled through their email. To my surprise, I come across two separate email threads to my boss about me. The first one, was about me being 5 minutes late on three occasions within a three month time period. I did not think it was a big deal but the email stated otherwise. The email basically said that action would be taken if I am late again. I personally think this is kinda BS as both my co-worker and my boss know that I have 2 small toddlers (I'm sure anyone with kids knows that they can be a handful at time). I can at least understand this as I was late. Whatever……

But the next email is casting judgment upon me and calling me a bad person for putting in, months in advance, to take off my children's birthdays…. Seriously?

I will not feel bad for taking their birthdays off. I have done it since they were born and intend to do it every year possible.

I have already been contemplating leaving but have been unsure. I think this makes up my mind.

Please let me know if I'm the asshole in this situation.
