Antiwork

Manager sent an email saying people complained about me using my phone at work. I don’t use it any more than my coworkers. How do I respond without actually admitting to it or sounding too defensive?

Plausible deniability innit. There’s a paper trail so I want to be careful I’m thinking something like: “I am so happy to know that we can come to you with complaints of personal phone use and inappropriate use of work computers. I have seen several of my coworkers doing online shopping, looking for flights and browsing facebook on at their workstations. I can inform you of any such incidents so you can kindly extend the same courtesy to them as you have me.” I would name names like they did to me, but none of them ever talk to me so I never learned their names. I might also want to build a case for later on regarding how I’m borderline ostracised by them
