Theres someone i like at work, we're not exactly friends but we get along well and i like her (NOT romantically).
This person is really nice to me but shes a bit unresponsible and i always hear people gossiping about her and i try to warn her about the things she do without mentioning anyone, bc I feel guilty that i get along with her and most of the time i stay silent when i hear people talking about her, cause most of the time theres basis. Which is why i try to compensate by warning her about these things so i can help her with it.
Yesterday ppl were talking about her schedule. Bc she always arrive late and is the first to leave and other ppl notice that, plus she have the best shift which is the morning. The girls from afternoon shift notice and also the other girl from morning shift who always arrive on time and pay her time when she arrives late.
I heard their complaints, they even said they were gonna talk to boss and told them i was gonna talk to her. Bc it happens that I AM boss's right hand at work so technically i should be the one telling them this but since i like her i tend to turn a blind eye (not just for her but to others too) which i know its a terrible thing but i hate ratting out ppl, i did it last year and i hated it, though i know it comes with the job..
It was probably the way i told her, i thought she would understand and pay more attention to her time but she took it too personally, i didnt told her who told me (everyone talks about it) but she wanted to question the other girls and start a fight.
Now im really upset because i realized i shouldve stayed quiet and not make issues bigger than it already is.
I am more particularly upset bc i feel like the bad guy either way in this situation.
Cause if i had stayed quiet none of this would have happened.
Now i feel like i gossip too much and also dont do my job right.
I feel like such an idiot for trying to help her. In all this situation i think i am the one who got the short end of the stick and i feel like i probably deserve it for being so naive.
