Well I was at work one night. I work right next to another department in my store, we share the same back room. Also, to add more back story, I have been working at this store for more than 3 years now so this night I had seniority over the people in this story.
Well the department I worked next two had 3 guys in, 1 guy who never works, 1 who is completely new and doesn't know what to do and the other is a very hard worker but takes his own liberties from time to time. While I was working, the hard working guy told me he was going on break, sure I didn't have a problem "see you in 15 minutes" I said. 45 minutes later he came back.
While he was gone I think I took a good course of action,,and told the floor manager on duty at the time about my friend's very late return from his 15 minute break. I thought it was the right thing to do, of course he, and a few others starting calling me a ***** and now hate me for what I did. Are they overreacting or did I do the wrong thing?
I wouldn't have cared either way if it wasn't for a few things.
1: This was like the 4rth time he had done it
2: He left a new guy with a guy who doesn't work, which meant I needed to waste my time, babysitting.
I think they are just overreacting, many people told me getting him in trouble was the wrong thing to do. In my eyes if you do some thing wrong you need to suffer the consequences for it.
So what you think Escapist?
EDIT: since 3 people have said, the 4 other times were all different kind of ways of getting to him. When he first did it I brought it up to him but he didn't listen. The second time I asked him to not do it. The third time I spoke with a wanna-be manager typed worker and the fourth time, well... I had enough.
