Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : A coworker always talks about how she needs emotional support for anxiety and shit like that. She’s been through some trauma, her ex used to beat her. People I work with decided it would be great idea for her to get a dog. I was immediately annoyed and here’s the reason why. She works 11 hour days with 90 minute commute. Basically, that dog is going to be alone 14 hours a day five days a week minimum. 

So she gets the puppy, and can’t really train it because she’s never home. Insists on asking for advice on how to kennel train the dog. Now the poor thing is spending most of its time in a kennel, except to piss and shit before she leaves and when she gets home. 

Now she’s upset because the kennel smells like urine, and went around asking what she can do about the smell. I casually let out a sarcastic “Give the dog to an owner who can care for it”. And man did I get attacked. It’s a “therapy dog”, it’s a “getting her through a tough time”. My reply was “She should try Netflix, it won’t piss itself and die while she’s away”. 

Well, that got me reported to HR for harassment. By the girl in question. They made me feel like the villain until I explained what was happening. I’ve got her side against me and people with me. But somehow I’ve come out looking like an asshole for being the only to say something.
