At work we work with the public. I set up an antisocial behaviour case. My colleague ended up sending a letter with the complainants details to the ASB perpetrator next door instead as she put the wrong address on. So the perpetrator knows who complained about them now. The letter was returned to the office by the perpetrator and reported to our Data Protection Officer as GDPR has been breached.
Today my colleague came up to me at work and loudly tried to blame me for the GDPR letter error incident in front of one of our top managers. I was really annoyed as said I had not done anything wrong and set up the case correctly. I got my stuff and left as I thought what else is she going to lie about to make me look bad. I hate being around negative people. A colleague sensed something was up as they asked if I was ok when I left. I checked the case after and I had not done anything wrong. The management know I am meticulous in my work so for me to make an error would be surprising to them. When she misses things on her cases she tries to blame other colleagues.
This colleague is moonlighting too. They have another job which they do the majority of in the hours of this job instead of after hours and they don't make the time up - she has told us this herself. Management and HR are aware as it has been reported by a few people but they do nothing to tackle the issue. It has got to the stage where the Chief Exec is involved as customers are being ignored and want answers and she ignores their emails which they send a repeat email and repeat phone call. How anyone can ignore elderly and vulnerable people who are distressed is disgusting. People from other teams are getting angry customers rant at them as a result and they are getting fed up of it.
She always tells stories where she is always getting robbed all the time or her family is mugged. She has to take emergency leave a lot too.
My colleagues and I have had enough of carrying her. This incident of blaming me has affected me. How do you deal with toxic people who make up lies about you? We have a Dignity at Work at Policy and her lying about me is breaching the policy. I want nothing to do with her if I can help it.
