I’m pretty sure I was a jerk. But I felt like the other person was being pretty *****y too. And there was just a lot of stuff going on. First off, we didn’t have much equipment to work with. But a ton of boxes to open. So this coworker and the manager kept giving us boxes but we didn’t have anywhere to put anything. Then this coworker is working the weekend by herself and she kept complaining that “she didn’t want to do any work tomorrow.” So she just kept pushing boxes to us and making us work faster then we were actually able to. Then about half an hour later the manager came up to us who hadn’t been around us all day and said we had to work faster. So this coworker basically threw us all under the bus for her own benefit because she doesn’t want to do any work tomorrow. I just felt like her telling on us was unnecessary. I feel like you should only tell the managers on people when it’s something serious and not just to benefit yourself. Not to mention she was also using her phone a lot. So I became visibly annoyed and started stacking boxes. I feel like she’s all butt hurt over me being hostile towards her when she’s the one who told on everyone when we couldn’t even do much work. She doesn’t want to do anything on the weekend so she’d rather be sent to the sales floor? Because that’s where she will be working if there’s nothing to do. And I doubt she wants that. I’m trying to figure out if I should apologize to her through text or not. I think she really could tell I was annoyed at her. Although it wasn’t just her I was annoyed at.

Absolutely Not!

If anyone owes anybody an apology, it's the person who kept pushing stuff off on y'all so she'd have less to do tomorrow!

So I did send her a text. All I said in my text was I was sorry if I came off as being rude. and she replied and said it wasn’t me and that she was having a hard day and was in a bad mood and that’s why she was giving me the cold shoulder and not being friendly and being rude and short. And why she was working slow. She said there’s so much in her life that she hasn’t told me. So basically she admitted that she was the one with the problem. I don’t know what her issues are but I don’t really like the way she is pushing them on me. She seems kind of manipulative. I mean I’ll be polite to her at work and text her when she texts me, but I’m just not 100% sure of her.

Everybody has issues they are coping with. No need for her to take them out on others. Maybe if she got off her phone and focused on work she would find solace in distraction.

The older I get, the more I find these words of wisdom imparted to me on my first job to be oh, so true ...

"Don't make friends at work ... Rarely does anything good come from it."

Be it promotions, gossip, cattiness, personal stuff or whatever ...

Most friendships formed on the job end up crashing and burning at some point.

Best to just keep it professional and polite (when and as possible).
