Pala-absent daw ako sabi ni HR?
For context, my work requires me to travel in different parts of Philippines since we usually have collaboration with our subsidiaries. Most of the time our flight schedule will start or end with saturday/sunday, thus, resulting to OFFSET.
On our first meeting after new year, What I thought was a regular nod and smile at hallway with our HR suddenly becomes something else.
She said "Nakagawa na ko ng summary, and I reviewed our leaves in the offices" she paused then continued with vindication "PALA ABSENT KA PALA? mas madami ka pang leaves sa office kesa sa mas mabibigat ung trabaho sayo? I'm just saying this kasi medyo bago at kaka regular mo palang"
I replied with awe and confusion "Covered po lahat ng offset yun and I was encouraged by my immediate to use it po since it was my supposed to be weekend" but still she continues to say this and that.
Through-out 2024, I accumulated 15 offsets which I worked during saturdays and sundays minsan more than 8hrs pa and it confuses me now na, negative pala gamitin ung mga yon? Then what is it for?
I talked to my immediate about this and he sided on me, I always do offset kapag di ako need (we have daily reminder of this month's schedule), I never misses big events, I'm always there when I needed to be there, and there's no time na hinanap ako for my sole use and purpose at wala ako. -- This is the feedback from my superior. I also asked him kung pwede bang overtime nalang instead na offset to mitigate the problem but my immediate said my position is quite high for that.
My peace of mind is a bit shaken, and iniisip ko sya until now, being branded na pala absent which I never was kahit nung nag aaral pa ko. I can't accept the fact na ganon ang somehow evaluation sakin just because I'm practicing my rights to use my offsets na sila mismo ang nagbigay.
Thoughts?

UPDATE: Thank you for everyone for your thoughts and expertise, I highly appreciate it. Since everything is well documented, I raised my concern to my immediate and our executive director called a town hall meeting earlier today at 8am. I didn't know I am that important to my ED for this such event to happen.
Our HR was reprimanded and will not be around for some time, also, she will be attending some issue-related seminars and personality development. Other personnels also raised their concern with the HR during the meeting, and it resulted for her to be almost dismissed. Our ED is furious, and the people are furious, it was messy for a bit, but in the end, she's given a last chance since she will be retiring this year. Though, if ever this kind of thing happen again, it'll be an early retirement for her. She's brought down to humility and we would like to think that she will not be that kind of person ever again for the rest of this year.
Thanks for the push, my dear redditors. I have cleared my name, and we did help other people to raise theirs too.
