@gingerbren on TikTok shared a very short video consisting of her reacting to a paper write-up that cited her emotional state as a reason for being written up.

The paper also mentioned that it was a ‘final write-up’ or a final warning when @Gingerbren claimed this was the very first time she had ever been written up.

In a later interview with The Daily Dot she revealed that she had been written up for having a disagreement with her manager.

She said that the write-up made it seem like she threw a tantrum when that was not the case.

“She makes it seem like I threw a tantrum and I would NEVER at work.”

“Manager basically wanted to implement a policy I found confusing, I spoke an opposing opinion only to reach clarification. problem was it was in front of staff, she labeled it as a breakdown/instability and creating negativity.” 

“I basically offered another solution to better understand where she was coming from. it felt like she wanted no questioning, no thoughts just do.”
