Overheard boss complaining about my supervisor and possibly me?

Today was a quiet day and overheard boss complaining to HR about my direct supervisor slacking off and taking advantage of working from home and not really getting work done. Which honestly yeah is happening and I heard them say that it is affecting the volunteer support we get. I heard my name mentioned but I wasn’t able to hear what they said as they got significantly quieter. The only complaint I could think of on my end is the tardiness. I don’t think I go above and beyond but I get my work done on time and I think I do a good job. I’ve been 1-10 minutes late pretty constantly lately but I figured since I’m not there to open up an office at that time and the fact the others get there 30 minutes to 1 hour later (beside the front office staff) that it wouldn’t be a big deal. Obviously this reflects on my time card so I’m not hiding it but that’s the only thing I can think of. As for slacking off, everyone does it on their down time and they’ve been pretty open about it, but now I feel like it’s problem with me which I never really do until recently. I haven’t had a raise in over a year and honestly don’t think my boss likes me as she never really talks to me. Everyone else approaches her directly, but I tend to go through my supervisor to her. A bit of shyness on my end i guess. It’s off putting hearing these complaints since they’re usually very chill about taking days off or taking off early for appointments. Now it is a problem though and I feel like they tend to let the issues grow rather than speak to employees until it’s a big issue. I’ve never had a performance review in the 3 years i’ve worked and i’ve only gotten a raise once (less than 50 cents). I wonder if it’s even worth asking about since I get laid off for the summer and I’m highly considering not coming back because I feel like they don’t want me there. However, job market is sucky in my town and I’ve failed to find a decent job here, if not I would be gone already. Am I overthinking on the basis of not hearing clearly or am I in the wrong? Should I urgently look for another job ?

p.s. it’s an office of only women and others that worked there before have complained that it’s like a high school mean girls environment.

Any thought and/or advice please.
