Apparently doing less than two people's jobs makes you a bad coworker.
So this has been bugging me lately and I need to get it out somewhere. So there's this coworker that did nothing for the majority of the year and I covered her tracks because at first I wanted to be nice to a new employee and also I hate drama. I was playing on jackpot daily one night and realized that I'd been stressing out and skipping lunch almost every day. Reason being of me getting the extra work for and she going home earlier. This is on me I know. After that I stopped doing it. Just did my job and only my job, no convo no drama just stopped it. Felt like I dont owe her an explanation about me not doing her job. Two weeks later she goes to our boss telling her that I've not been a team player and he gets me called in to talk about my attitude. I don't know what she told him but I cleared myself after the convo and told him my version of the story or should I say the actual version of the story. Its quite dissapointing. Like I'm the one that's having to defend myself here. Turns out the best way to be a team player is to cover for her and do two jobs and not complain once. Great system jesus. Really glad I found out that secret.
