Feeling very anxious about work!

Need some guidance here, please.

I work in a job where we get commission and throughout September, I had noticed that a colleague of mine (let's call her A) had been doing thing that she shouldn't have, in order to get more commission than what she should have.

It was obvious, really. Her figures went through the roof and I, almost other colleagues, were faced with very angry customers who were annoyed that my colleague had not done things correctly.

Another colleague of mine (let's call her B) has been there for 17 years and also noticed these discrepancies and she advised me that she's going to escalate this with our manger, which she did.

I believe that she's gained a couple of thousand £ in commission more than she could have. A lot of money, obviously.

This was a couple of weeks ago and I had assumed that as B was informing our manger, it would be sorted.

A is still working there and still continuing to fudge the figures in her favour.

Today, I noticed that her fudgery had affected my work in a bad way. I'd had enough and called my manager into an urgent meeting and told her that I know what A is doing and it's making me incredibly uncomfortable.

Manager has advised me 'off the record' today that action is being taken again A on Monday.

I feel sick. A has a young child and I know that she has money troubles. I'm riddled with guilt. I know that I wasn't actually the whistle blower here, but I feel terrible.

I know there's nothing that I can do. I just wished that A wasn't stupid enough to do this. Unfortunately, it's also public knowledge that she'd done similar to her previous employer. I can't believe she's done this again Sad

Sadly she has bought this on herself. She was quite prepared for it to affect you. There is nothing you can do
Thank goodness you have a good manager

If a friend told you this story......what advice would you give your friend??!

There is only one person to blame here, and OP - it's not you!

I feel sorry for you.I had similar earlier this year when a colleagues behaviour led to dismissal.This is Not your fault.It would be even worse if no one spoke up.
