Made a small mistake yesterday.
Received an earful in front of everyone.

Had half a mind to deck him and end it, but then I thought, what example would I be setting for others?
I was in the wrong, obviously. And I admitted it, and accepted it.
I apologized profusely, but that wasn't enough for this guy.
Maybe he'd had enough, or he'd had a bad day, but he wasn't going to let it go. He made sure to embarrass me in front of everyone.

I think when you work for an organization where people don't treat others well, then you end up becoming like this guy. He probably reached his tipping point, and I was just a victim of circumstance.

I don't like confrontations. Especially public ones. If you have a problem with me, settle it down elsewhere. Take me aside, say whatever you want to say.
But when you talk down to me like I'm some little brat and insult me in public, well, I'm not a fan.

Tried to make the situation seem like it wasn't much of a big deal because everyone was watching. But I felt bad when I got home.

When I think about it, perhaps he'd been fuming for a while, and he obviously didn't like me (If you like someone you don't insult them in public), and he wanted to make an example of me.
