I work at a bank in Texas. They hired an HR professional, but there’s no HR department; just one lady. I’ve had issues with a coworker. We work is close quarters so I can never be away from her during the work day. I’ll spare the details. Long story short, last week, I turned in my letter of resignation and had a meeting with the HR person. I was honest and told her that I was leaving because of my coworker, among other things. Fast forward to today, my coworker comes in after a meeting with the HR person and says “I’m not trying to stir the pot or anything but [HR PERSON] told me you’re quitting because of me.”
My question is, does this have anything to do with confidentiality? Do I approach the HR person and say something about it? I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble but I’m genuinely curious because it made the entire rest of the work day very awkward and it feels unprofessional.
