It is an extraordinary situation that an organisation would somehow, in a chain of emails, pick up on what is a throwaway line and then initiate a process to cost that organisation money. It is extraordinary that without any recourse to you, it would build a case that meant it was exceptional and unusual and that you should received this in breach of your own organisation's HR guidelines, in breach of what is best practice in terms of employee relations and perhaps in breach of legislation and that it would do all of that on its own and that you had no part in any of that.
