AIBU to be angry with office snitch!

[Catchuptv]

I'm still feeling resentful - thank god I'm off work next week. This woman at work who's only been there for a year but same position as me asked me last week if I would update a matrix instead of sending her the information to add. I do this on a weekly basis and she was on about 'streamlining' the process. I told her no - that it was easier for me just to email her the info but she said again it would make it easier and avoid mistakes transporting the information. I disagreed and left it at that - next thing is I'm called into my managers office and told I've to follow the new procedure! I'm really pissed off about this. I'm off next week but plan to speak to her when I get back for going behind my back. She went to her own boss who is the Head of the Department and must have spoke to her about it. She brought up other stuff about my leaving/arrival times - yep - I do sneak off early sometime but I get the job done. Livid.

vile bully.

That sums it up.

Good to hear Betty People like this need to be called out on it.

(My workplace manager would never have the balls to do it)

Imagine being this wrong and strong....

I wonder how much time you owe your employer for all the years of sneaking off early!

It's always fascinating to get a glimpse into the thought processes of self-important, self centred people who believe they are always right and the rest of the world must be wrong...

Always the worst sort of colleague to have. They make so many people dread going to work.

Not really a snitch is she, it's great when someone new starts and has some ideas for streamlining etc. Why you wouldn't just try it and give constructive feedback if it wasn't working is baffling. She probably has mentioned the idea previously to management and they asked why it hadn't been implemented, she was probably just explaining. And as for leaving early, do your hours, you only have a right to be annoyed about that if she is lying- and it sounds like she isn't. There's one of you in most offices, someone who has been there for years yet does the bare minimum because it's always been done that way, can't be arsed with change and thinks that they can do what they want as they've been there for a while.

We have someone with your attitude in our office. Our HOD dislikes her and feels that she is bad for morale, and a bad example to the newer members of staff. Fortunately, she has found another job and will be leaving soon. No-one is going to miss her.

It’s taken a lot @BahMooQuack and about 18 months to get to this point. The person in question seems to think it’s just one person that’s taken a grow own s against her when in fact it’s a whole department. It’s probably the same in OPs case too. It won’t just be one person that’s complained if the boss’ want change! Unfortunately people like OP are so self absorbed with their own entitlement, they can’t see passed their own nose.

interesting to have an OP who has never mentally left the playground - there are quite a few on here.

hopefully a kick in the bum will be adminstered about growing up.

you sound like a really bad colleague to have XD

Yes i have gone behind someones back to report them before. your not her friend, she owes you nothing.

You sound like some teenager gangster wannabe thats just landed her first job, cant be bothered to be helpful and then argues with anyone who would DARE snitch to the manager -_-

So a new person joins and sees a way to bring about more efficient procedures, and also highlights that the long term staff are mitching off?

Sounds like you’re in for a shake-up, OP.

She didn’t snitch(!), she raised it with you twice and when you didn’t find an agreement she quite rightly escalated it to management for them to make the call. That’s how workplaces work! Do you think your way is the only way? I hate to break it to you, but you’re not the manager so if that’s your thought process, you’re wrong.

I am so not jealous of her - she's older than me, quite chubby and she ain't no oil painting.

This tells me everything I need to know about you.

@Partychaos - I usually don't like AS but definitely insightful in this case.

But she's not lying about anything... I think a period of self reflection might be in order.

And "snitching" is only valued by shitty people. Grow up.

i love people who say ‘snitches get stitches’ as if this were the yard at San Quentin and not a british office environment.

OP, snap your staple remover aggressively at her while bellowing I CAN SNEAK OFF EARLY YOU SNITCH. that should sort this, lovely, jobs a good ‘un.

christ.

Going by this thread, and your others, I do hope your company does the right thing here. People like you are toxic in the workplace.
Sounds like they may be 'forced' into addressing your behaviour which can only be a good thing for your colleagues

I refuse to believe anyone is this oblivious.

Are we all breathing a sigh of relief that we don't work in the op's office?

You sound like the kind of co-worker people dread getting stuck with

You come across as lazy, not a team player and very entitled.
I'm glad I don't have to work with you.

Hah this is a long running joke in my team that when you are new people are happy to populate the 5386493 spreadsheets and systems that we have to update but that's because seriously we have to record everyyyyttthhing.
You are fairly warned that at a point you will be expected to do it yourself and are told when it's time to do so.

However you always get someone who tries to get others to do it, we are overworked and somewhat direct so it usually results in laughter and something along the lines of " what did your last slave die of?"

Some exception is made, a new member of the team is finding it harder as English not her first language (and seriously we have 17 systems and daily paperwork alone for somethings ) so we have all helped out a bit longer, but that's the exception to the rule.

If I had someone saying they didn't want to update a spreadsheet because it was " easier " for them I'd laugh....yes easier for them ...so why is your time more important?

Grow up OP it was a reasonable request, and snitch? What are you 12?

Perhaps she's seen as being sensible and conscientious and has been asked to change the process.

I can't bear workplace 'snitches' either. I'm with the OP purely for that reason.

Imagine OP’s HR file.

I don't think she's done anything wrong.

@Bella2020 read the OP’s other thread and you’ll see why her colleague shows no loyalties to her
