This has happened to me 2 times already, 4 years working at this place.

  • What managers say: “on day X you did Y.” Then they say nothing more, like expecting an answer from me.

  • What I find makes sense to say: “coworker Z (or a coworker, without naming) claims on day X you did Y. Is this true?”

To me only the second example is neutral, the way management asks question # 1 is accusatory and assumes you’re already guilty.

Am I very thin skinned?

    Plenty of people in manager positions without the actual manager skills. People who conduct themselves unprofessionally. That is common IMO. So yeah, get used to it, grow a thicker skin, plus gain confidence as a worker by knowing your rights, what they can and can’t do against you, and all that. Etc.
