Did I mess up when I got my two coworkers written up?
Hi, I (19F) work part time at a library where my job is to put the books away. My coworkers Clara (22 F) and Mary (24 F) (fake names).
I don’t work the same days as Clara and Mary, they work Monday and Wednesday and I work Tuesday and thursday.
For some context Mary does not like me, because at one point I texted Clara and Mary asking for confirmation about something that happened on Monday, and Mary responded saying how inappropriate it was to text her, I was 17 and this is my first ever job and I wasn’t aware that it was inappropriate, I apologized and told her i wont text her again.
She then reported me to our boss for harassing her, and after showing our boss the messages and explaining the situation, he didn’t write me up and just told me not to text her again.
Now fast forward to last Tuesday, when I accidentally left my phone charger, which has 3 chords with different types of plugs. I come back on Thursday and see my charger completely broken, with one of the plugs taken off and one of them bent out of shape. I assumed it was an accident and bought a new one.
I come into work today and one of my supervisors, I’ll call her Angela, told me that on Tuesday Clara and Mary told Angela that THEY had broken my charger, by repeatedly stomping on it until it broke, they then told Angela that I‘m too fat to move the big carts of books around and that I’m too short to reach the top shelves (Im 160lbs and 5’5). After Amanda I immediately went to our boss and told him everything Amanda said, I blocked Clara and Mary, and told boss that if he needs proof I can show him the charger.
The next day I work I’m told that Clara and Mary were both written up for what they did.
Now here’s where I don’t know if I messed up. Clara came up to me and said that it was just Mary that broke the charger, and that it was a complete accident and that Amanda was just lying. I told her I don’t believe her and that her and Mary have always been rude to me and are weirdly petty all the time. She said that getting a write up really affects her career and that she didn’t do anything to deserve it. I don’t know if Amanda was lying or if I should have taken her word for it. Did I mess up??
