A former employee shared on Reddit how a harmless smile during a virtual onboarding session nearly cost him his job. The incident occurred when a senior executive took offense at the employee’s reaction to a joke, later claiming he appeared “disrespectful” and even lying on his bed during the call. Months later, the employee discovered the executive had sent multiple emails to HR seeking his removal. His manager and team lead, however, defended him and prevented the situation from escalating. |
