Скачать или смотреть Reddit Stories-AITAH for showing my coworker what “just being honest” can be like?

Description:
OP explains that they have a coworker who prides themselves on being “brutally honest.” This coworker frequently makes blunt, unsolicited comments about others’ work, appearance, or decisions and dismisses any hurt reactions by saying they’re “just being honest” and that people are too sensitive.

Over time, OP found these comments rude, demoralizing, and unprofessional. After multiple instances of being on the receiving end — and seeing others affected as well — OP decided to respond in kind. The next time the coworker made a cutting remark and defended it as honesty, OP replied with an equally blunt comment about the coworker, explicitly framing it as “just being honest” too.

The coworker did not take it well. They became upset, accused OP of being mean and disrespectful, and complained that OP crossed a line. Management or other coworkers may now be involved, with some saying OP should have taken the high road, while others feel the coworker finally got a taste of their own behavior.

OP argues that the response wasn’t meant to be cruel, but to highlight the difference between honesty and unnecessary harshness, and to show how damaging “brutal honesty” can feel when turned back on the person using it.

Now OP is questioning whether mirroring the behavior was justified or if they should have handled the situation more professionally.
