Boss called me an annoying snitch for complaining about my lazy co worker?

[Queenoftheuniverseandgalaxy]

Her laziness is affecting my job.

We both clean in a restaraunt. It’s just me and her, no supervisors.
She is extremely lazy, doesn’t do her work, leaves dirt and mess in her area, leaves most of the work to me. Often sits around on her phone. When I show her the mess and dirt she leaves, she rolls her eyes. One time told me « I don’t care, shut up, you are so annoying and you are not my boss, just do it for me, and left »

Management is often angry at us on WhatsApp and often complains about the mess and dirt she leaves. We both get blamed for her lazy horrible cleaning.

I tried speaking to her a million times, she told me she doesn’t care and to stfu.

After 6 months of this and yet another angry complaint hinting they’ll fire us, I had enough and contacted the cleaning company boss, asking him to please speak to her and that the area they were angry about, was hers.

I get this message

She never blames you Kate. We do not blame each other. Snitching is gross behaviour Kate. You are both a team and should work together! You are being an annoying snitch. A tattle tale. Just disgusting behaviour from you. Stop snitching, I don’t want to hear it

This.

Nothing will ever improve if that's the managers attitude

Get another job.

Absolutely this . What a horrific boss . No decent company would find that response acceptable in any way

I would either:

Look for another job. And, in the meantime, use my phone and do nothing at work - just like your colleague - until they act on their threat of firing me.

Send a message back to the manager with a Fuck You emoji and a "I quit".

Well I would definitely reply "I quit"

Quit

Find another job asap

I’m sure that’s exactly what happened

As soon as I could get out, I would - and my resignation letter would make clear that being expected to treat a grown man who uses the word “snitch” with any respect was a key factor.

I’d also be giving serious consideration to what I could smear over the counter tops on my last shift…

That response is so unprofessional and your coworker is a lazy CF. Are you sure they're not related or friends?

Leave. You deserve better than that.

Show the correspondence to the restaurant manager. They might keep you, but sack the cleaning company.

Wow I am more shocked at how unprofessional that cleaning boss is. Wtf?? You need a new job immediately, I couldn’t continue working for them. a lazy co-worker is one thing but a boss that insults you because you’ve had enough of doing her job too is just too much. Hand your notice in ASAP

Leave and consult a no win no fee employment lawyer, you have very strong evidence for constructive dismissal.

They both sound vile and very unprofessional. Like a pp, I'm wondering if they are friends or otherwise connected.

I realise you might not be able to leave till you've got something else lined up, but if you're not already looking, do! You shouldn't be treated like this at work.

Also meant to say - 'tattle tale'? Is she 8? Ridiculous behaviour for any adult, let alone someone in management.

I'd leave and then post a scathing review once I'd found a other job, one which would make it clear it was from me.

Good cleaners are worth their weight in gold. Find a better cleaning company.

I was in a similar situation and was being scapegoated . Get out as it will never change .

She never blames you Kate.
Surely the answer to that is, "Great. I'm glad that we are all clear that I am not the problem here."

I'd be gone.
Let your boss then have to do the clean up of your co worker's mess. She'll soon realise how stupid she was to let you go @Queenoftheuniverseandgalaxy

Great advice 💐

Union .

Respond with 'how do you feel about staff who submit a grievance?'

Sack them off at the first opportunity but try for a little justice on the way out.

This is a good idea. Post is very outing if your real name is Kate
