February 7, 2025 at 2:39 pmHi all!So I am stuck in a situation where I was a friend of someone in the office and when I stopped talking with her…she raised a POSH complaint against me.
I made a comment on her where I was giving her a taunt which stated *Bdia lagri thi aaj. Couldn’t take my eyes off you. Par tu toh ab eye contact bi ni krti*.
This was on whatsapp.
The panel has conducted the enquiry and I am now awaiting the MOM.
Am I screwed by this? I made it clear to the committee that it wasn’t my intent and she made the complaint look malicious.

February 7, 2025 at 2:45 pmI showed them the chat. But the only thing she has on me is the comment I made. Whats the worse that can happen in this and how can I appeal if things are worse?-

February 7, 2025 at 2:54 pmPosh doesn’t/wont act on a single comment. Screenshot all your chats incase she deletes the chats. Tell them it was a insitu tongue and cheek comment and as far as you are concerned there is nothing more or less to it. You are amazed that this has gone to Posh committee.Ask them what you need to do to rectify the situation because You didn’t think this could be comprehended this way.
Your tone is the key here. So work on your tone before you are called up.

February 7, 2025 at 3:07 pmThank you. This single comment can’t be that wrong right? She did add some mirch and masala and played the woman card.-

February 7, 2025 at 3:12 pmDepends on how grounded your POSH committee is and frankly your contribution on job wise matter too-

February 21, 2025 at 10:20 amHi. Just got the verdict today. The committee wants me to write a written apology, issue me a warning letter and wants the management to keep us in separate teams which we are already. I want to appeal this in court. Is it a good decision? What and how can I get started?

February 7, 2025 at 2:57 pmIt doesnโt add up what you are saying . If you were the one who stopped talking with her why are you ruing to her that she doesnโt even do eye contact?-
UUser_e4825657
OP
February 7, 2025 at 2:59 pmThat was before we stopped talking. After all that I said all the best and stopped talking. She did the complaint after 10 to 14 days after I made the comment.-

February 7, 2025 at 3:01 pmSo she stopped eye contact and then you stopped talking with her ?-
UUser_e4825657
OP
February 7, 2025 at 3:06 pmTLDR is that she was being racist and discriminatory against someone from the same batch and that someone raised a complaint against her with the HR. I didnt support her and instead went against her since she was wrong for doing that. I thought I could still be atleast colleagues but since she didnt respond when I asked her if we can talk…I stopped too.-

February 7, 2025 at 3:10 pmThat is one way of trying to be friends with her by saying something so inappropriate after going against her . It should be no surprise she complained against you since she already doesnโt seem to be someone of high ethical standards-

OP
February 7, 2025 at 3:13 pmYeah I had a soft spot for her. She shared emotional stuff of her life with me which made me soft.

February 7, 2025 at 2:57 pmIf friendly banter has taken place before keep it’s recird. One comment alone wont get you fired but they might just warn you. Friends or not pls watch what u send in writing to colleagues or how u talk . I t can be very easily used against you if the so called friendship went south .-

OP
February 7, 2025 at 3:01 pmYes I have now learned it the hard way. I hope I dont get fired or dont have to pay a penalty.
