Earlier this year, I started working overtime hours in a different part of my company. The guy who trained me was phenomenal. We hit it off right away. We worked together for close to 3 months without a hitch. He even stayed with me for an extra 3 hours because I was nervous to work alone on my first shift. Things went wrong was when I was assigned a shift that he wanted. He wanted to go home at 10pm, then return at 6am. Something else to note is that he works an insane amount of overtime. His whole spiel is that he supports his whole family. This is not true. There are 5 working adults in his home. This man told roughly 30 people that I stole this shift from him. He reached out to two people, who don’t work in either of our departments, to ask for union contact information. Information I know he already had. Reddit, my feelings were so fucking hurt. And what got me is that he KNOWS the shifts are assigned by the supervisor!! His greedy little mean spirited self slandered me over something that wasn’t even my fault.

Incident in Question:

The manager asked if I would be willing to start my shift 3 hours early in order to ensure that he gets a break. I get to work at 3am and see no one behind our desk. I ask the guard what gives. She says “he’s sleeping. As usual”. He comes out, sees me, glares, then goes back to get his stuff. He comes back to the desk and proceeds to sit next to me without saying a word. 45ish minutes later, he leaves for his 30 minute lunch break. I am perturbed. Guess this explains how he manages to work all the OT. He sleepin on the job! He seems to have a system with security where they page him if someone comes in. Works for them.

4 months ago, another gal was barred from working until 2025 due to calling out for her regular shift. She is equally yolked with him when it comes to working OT. Crazy ass works 24 hours straight on a regular basis. Girl what? No. I guess being unable to work OT after calling in for your regular shift is a union rule? I don’t know. But how is that fair? So, about 7-10 days after the 3am shift I’m still mulling this over. I consulted with one of the two people who he had reached out to. Both of us are straight as a ruler when it comes to work. She says to tell. I’m still hesitant because I don’t want to be the reason someone loses their job. My thought process here is: one person can’t work because she worked so much that she had to take a break. The other person hoards the OT, then proceeds to sleep on the clock. How that fair?? Manager advises me to send the email. Now he’s being investigated. How do I know? Because he told everyone what happened lol. Security also wrote a statement corroborating my story. I worked the other night, and a different officer said he was “snitched on by security and an Ops person”. I cannot stress enough that my formerly hurt feelings didn’t influence my decision. Tell me, Reddit. AITA?
