Did not follow company’s work culture

Currently as a software engineer, our company’s policy is to talk/share issues via threads on slack so that the entire team engineering can see it. I personally like to talk over a google meet if facing any doubts as it’s a very quick and effective way rather than making threads and tagging people to get answer which takes time. Manager gave a warning and said don’t talk in dm and only in public channel so others can see but I violated this law by mistake and she wants to take this to upper authority by tagging senior engineer. This can lead to my termination. I accept that I did wrong, is this an issue for escalation ?

Even I had a manager like that. Didn't fire me for it, although made it a point during appraisal cycle last year

I had a similar manager / Lead and few team members were also like this. When it's their issue they will DM and when it's mine they escalate

I got fed-up and left the startup. Present company lowballed me extremely. Will stay for 1.5 years around or less and then will leave for better company
