I reported a colleague this week following advice on here and from my partner.
She had a short temper with me, would get frustrated and snap if I didn’t do something to her liking or get it correct right away.
She shouted at me once in front of a service user and would often have an exasperated tone when asking me to do things. She snatched things from me a couple of times or would just tut, say ‘Oh God” or ‘what ARE you doing?’
She wasn’t always like this but it happened at least every week.
The worst though was speaking rudely to vulnerable service users, she told a 90 year old woman to shut up, and often got irritated towards a man with Alzheimer’s.
This has been going on for around 2 months. Anyway I reported to my job, requesting that it be anonymous and asking if I can be paired with another colleague or moved to another area.
I was told by the management today that she has been called in today for investigation.
I am supposed to be working with her all day this week.
I feel terrified, I know it was the right thing to report her for my sake but most importantly for the service users.
It might just be directed towards me personally, I would just rather move to another area or let her work with someone else. Even if it’s anonymous there’s a high chance she will know it’s me and I just feel so stressed and guilty.
It’s the kind of job where it’s just you and them working together, so it’s not like I can avoid her.
Almost feel like not going into work, it sounds pathetic I know. What advice could anyone offer me?
