On Friday, I was told to sit down for a phone call from my boss, and he proceeded to tell me that someone reported that I said “KILL EM ALL!” while working, and interpreted that as a threat on the workplace.
I don’t know what he thought he heard, but I never said that. So I’m guessing he misheard something I said to myself.
Anyway he told the head of security.
I’ve been suspended from work, my work ID’s been confiscated, and I’ve been told they’ll wait for an investigation to end before deciding if I’m fired or re-assigned to a different building.
Someone will call me on monday for questioning.
So I’ve never done this before. How likely is it that I’m fired?
And worse still, what are the chances that they’ll end up pressing charges for “making death threats”? I’m trans in a state that doesn’t let you take hormones while in jail (Really bad considering I’m post-op and need hormones to not be menopausal) I REALLY don’t wanna go to jail and get V-Coded.


This is what lawyers are for. Since part of the situation here is a conflict between two workers an Union would be in a complicated spot. With the right level headed people in the Union they might ensure a fair process for both sides - which is also what a competent HR would do - but I wouldn’t gamble my life on it.
