I (f27) work in a company as a sales person, not much more info needed. There’s currently a vacant for a promotion which I’m applying for.
The issue I’m having is there’s another coworker (f30 ish) who’s also applying for the position, she has also worked here for longer than me, so I think she might get the job.
But she’s very irresponsible, she’s late 3 out of five days. She claims it’s because she has to drive her kid to kindergarten, but sometimes she takes more than 30 minutes to arrive.
HR has already opened a complain about her. She excuses herself saying she’s a single mother and has to take care of her daughter, however I think she should hire a nanny or ask someone else to drive her kid around if she can’t because of work.
Yesterday she arrived around half an hour late again. She asked us not to tell our boss, but I did. She got scolded and apparently she lost her chance for the promotion.
I don’t know when did she realized it was me who told our boss or who told her, but now her and some other people are calling me a snitcher. She told me I’m a bitch who only cares about herself and started ranting about how I don’t know how hard it is for her and such.
All of this happened in work hours so I was thinking on filling another complain about her for harassment but I spoke with some friends (they don’t work with me) and they agreed that I shouldn’t because I did acted like an asshole so I’m here to hear some outside points of view.
