Update #3/Another Fire-able offense for older coworker: This time, she dug through our personal information file.
She’s been caught stealing, she’s been caught damaging property, onto the next fireable offense-looking through our personal information file drawer.
She’s gotten away so much that I’ve pretty much given up on going to my bosses when I do see her doing something that we’re not supposed to be doing.
Our bosses want us to bring up issues we have with coworkers but, the only coworker I have issues with never seems to face any consequences for doing something wrong that I should be reporting. So why bother?
I try to mind my own business and clock in/out, but when I do witness something that’s wrong, I try to bring it up to my bosses. My entire time at work, I’ve went to HR once and it was for racism. Otherwise I avoid trying to be a work snitch.
I also only bring up problems that I know people in the past have gotten fired for on the spot because I’ve witnessed them getting fired on the spot for it like stealing and yes we have evidence of her doing it.
Almost everyone on the team has gone to our bosses about issues with her-Including the other two coworkers who also have high seniority over her.
Like today for example.
My other coworker was about to leave, and she saw her going through our bosses files.
These are the No No files. They have everyone’s private information on them, there’s also work information on them that we aren’t supposed to know about.
I have massive seniority over everyone here and even I don’t go behind the desk to touch these files.
I actively avoid touching my bosses desk because it’s a fired on the spot situation. I’m that deathly terrified of touching these files. I don’t even like looking at open notebooks unless there’s a note directly with my name on it.
So obviously my other coworker was alarmed about her going through these files. But because this coworker is very combative, she tried to do it in away where she wouldn’t catch on.
She asked “What are you doing”
“Oh I’m looking for (item that someone else took)”
“Well why would that item be in that drawer. You’re not supposed to be looking through those files”
So she texted my other coworker to let her know about it.
And it’s not even an item she needs because another problem we have with her is that she hoards items and supplies that she doesn’t need and that’s why my other boss (who’s been substituting for my current boss) took it from her. I’ve also lowkey been doing the same thing, taking items back that she’s taken from our supply closet that she doesn’t need but just takes because she’s a hoarder. It’s another thing on the long list of things that we have issues with her and have went to our bosses about and she still does it.
The only problem is our boss is out for the week due to personal reasons.
And now, three coworkers who’ve had issues with her in the past have to tell our boss that there’s another fireable offense she’s committed. But-will we actually be listened to and will she face consequences? I doubt it. It’s why I’ve given up.
