[usr] That's terrible! I suppose sometimes things backfire, no matter how good our intentions are. [sys] What happened? [usr] They tried to make out I was bad at my job, that's the last time I'll give somebody a heads up at my own expense again. [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
Oh, no. That's awful! Did you report something that had occurred at your job?
I once told a co worker about an upcoming job promotion and they applied for it themselves, but also made me look bad in the process.
