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

She is either a relative or a friend or even a lover of your manager. You can't win in that situation find another job.

I find it quite laughable that posters are urging op to take sick leave or contact “HR” . No such thing exists for the majority of cleaners working for agencies (who are treated appallingly on the whole). Some are trafficking workers illegally from other countries and paying them virtually nothing.

All the decent cleaners who actually want to work hard and earn good money, are independent sole traders, and I can’t urge you enough to consider that too op..

I work in a nursing home and I have 1 Co worker who.i hare working with because she's so lazy miserable bitter and jealous

That must be so frustrating. You obviously take your job seriously and actually care x

I think the fact is, there’s such a shortage of people wanting to work in the care industry, management are desperate to hold onto any staff and over looking poor attitudes and shoddy standards.

It may be the same with op’s cleaning company- they will recruit and hold on to incompetent staff because very few people want to do that job. They need “bodies” to fill slots. It’s really shit practice.

ive been a housekeeper for around 9 years. In that time I’ve had 2 people sacked due to shoddy below par work. I will not come in and clean after someone who is on the same wage as me and doing the same job. I will not have more work created for myself because someone can’t be arsed to do their job properly.

sounds like grounds for a reverse dismissal

It's the worst thing to do ,going behind other people to finish the job . I had one job where the other housekeeper was lazy snd I was rushing around trying to finish the job including things she neglected to do and i found out that she was accusing ME of being the lazy one and she was being believed . I soon found another job .

Leave. When you do forward that message to boss of boss.

Firstly, what do you mean ‘on WhatsApp’? Managers are contacting you on your personal phones using WhatsApp? Big red flag there to start with. Secondly, management clearly don’t care about who does the work, as long as they don’t have to lift a finger. You need to find another job.

God, leave. Now

How are things now, OP? I am really hoping you’ve set up your own business and things are thriving for you!

This happens in retail. You are expected to check this app on your days off / holidays in case you are needed to come in plus management change your hours to suit the needs of the store . If you don't check your app they want to know why

I'd have told the boss to grow up and if possible to try to grow into his job as a manager.

I remember being asked to come back from a holiday early when I applied for a job at a local primary school. I said I could not - which definitely offended. I could have enlarged and said that if I came back that would mean cutting the holiday short by three days, which was a totally unreasonable request, but I didn't. Didn't get the job, either. (I also said my DH would have something to say about compulsory after-0school clubs, too, which might have swayed them!)
I trust retail staff on the end of requests to come back during holidays email back (if at all) saying 'I am in Timbucktoo. Next flight out not for a fortnight. Unless you wish to charter me a private jet?' Sadly, I fear not. Employment rights have got far worse in the last 40 years.

This

Is your manager 15? That’s no way for an adult, responsible for managing other adults, to speak to an employee or indeed another human.

id he seeking out another role if I were you.

I wouldn't stay in a company like that, disrespected by co-workers and management. If you are in London, message me, I'm looking for a cleaner for a restaurant.

I’d leave. Once his clients stop complaining or dropping him maybe then he will see.
