I recently had a casual conversation with a co-worker about her upcoming vacation trip to Asia. I asked her if her flight was leaving at midnight, as such flights originating in our city often do. The next day, I told some others at the office that I was excited about our co-worker’s trip, and mentioned the midnight flight in passing. There was an assistant manager in this group, who promptly asked me to “write up” the conversation I’d had with my co-worker. So it’s too bad you’ve been dragged into this — and I understand you may feel guilty about perhaps getting a colleague in trouble by mistake.
