This should be easy for you experts out there...
One day I made a remark about an employee that I work with. I said sarcastically, "I'm sure glad XXXX showed up for work today." I said this remark because of many recent call-offs this employee has had in the last few weeks. I should have kept the comment to myself i realize. The employee was told about the comment I said by a friend that overheard me say it and is now the employee is upset about it.
First Question: I realize morally I should not have said it, but I have not said anything against the law, correct?
Second Question: I was confronted by one manager directly afterwards saying I should not have said it. Okay..I agreed. I was then confronted by another manager and the employee that i said the comment about. And then I was confronted AGAIN by another higher manager about the comment. Each at different times. Is this not a form of harrasment towards me? What should I do?
