To get frustrated over pity errors my colleague makes

[hungrybwcat]

I work in a very small team of 2 plus our boss. We all WFH. My colleague is paid a London wage (she mentioned hers without me asking) which is over £10,000 more thank I get.

She makes a lot of silly mistakes. For example she replied to a forwarded email so the recipient of her reply did not include the original sender who had sent to query and needed the answer to which she replied and she wondered why the issue was outstanding. Another example - she does not check her work thoroughly so once (a lot of the times!) something went out with a mistake which was later returned and we had to correct it.

Our boss doesn’t get involved usually so quite often these errors and corrections are made without getting noticed.

However I feel like telling my boss she did this and that and I picked it and rectified it etc. but I don’t. It’s too pity. At the same time I feel disheartened because I get paid much less. For the context I did ask for a pay review based on my performance and my management agreed I am a high performer but the company as a whole only had a certain amount in the pot and none of us got more than inflation.

AIBU to feel like telling my boss my colleague has made a pity error?

I pity you for making the petty error in your first post, OP. Perhaps you could make a pithy reply to this thread and justify your opinion on why you want to put your colleague down. 😆😂

This is a wind up right? 🤣

That.

Op your boss may be more aware of what goes on than you think.

You will advance in your career in time, one way or another, but telling tales for something short of, eg bullying or stealing, is just not on - and bosses don't like it.

If things don't improve you can always look for a better job.

I was wondering what a pity error was. Pitying someone who doesn't merit it? Or making mistakes because you are so busy fretting about someone's plight? Or making deliberate mistakes because you feel sorry for someone who makes still more? Wondering if that's it, given the OP?

No it doesn’t? Certainly not in any of the ones I know. Which particular Scottish accents as there are hundreds of variations? In my west coast accent both words sound different.

Hoisted by your own leotard OP.

This has finished me off. I love this thread.

I've always thought that this was the case. But I’m not Scottish and shouldn’t have said anything!
