Don’t Mistake Coworkers For Friends!

There is this guy I work with who regularly bitches about our workplace and I usually listen to their rants and agree to an extent and occasionally share my own grievances. Even though I work in the office, we are a small company, so I get asked to go help do random tasks in the plant a lot One day this week, I was asked by my manager to help him out, so I went out there and immediately, he said “don't worry , I've got this.” and I said “No, I will help bro.” Since we are always sharing our grievances, I made a comment about how “they (the management this guy is always complaining about) never help me out when I'm working in the plant.” He says “sorry man” and I pretty much said, “No, I don't mind helping, I'm just complaining about management.” He leaves to go…

One day this week, I was asked by my manager to help him out, so I went out there and immediately, he said “don't worry , I've got this.” and I said “No, I will help bro.”

Since we are always sharing our grievances, I made a comment about how “they (the management this guy is always complaining about) never help me out when I'm working in the plant.”

He says “sorry man” and I pretty much said, “No, I don't mind helping, I'm just complaining about management.”

He leaves to go get the materials we are storing on the shelves and when he comes back, in a normal tone of voice, my coworker again says, “Don't worry man, I've got this” so I say, “you sure?” and he says “yeah”

Today, my manager was like “I need to talk to you about an altercation you had on Wednesday.” And I was like “WTF?” and it turns out the guy I mentioned and another coworker complained about me “not wanting to help”

I envy people who work remotely. Fuck.
