Today, two customers complained about the shitty service they received from my coworkers. I apologized and asked about the complaint. Their issues were legitimate and I promised to pass them on. They demanded to speak to my manager and my coworkers got in trouble. Now they think I'm a snitch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that several coworkers had been complaining about me behind my back for a couple of weeks, including to my manager. When my manager finally brought the issue up to me, he realized that I hadn’t done anything wrong; there was an error in our computer system. Nobody has apologized. FML
Today, half of my office urged me to file a complaint against a coworker for aggressive behaviour, so I did. Less than 24 hours later, HR gave him a real dressing down and the whole office turned against me for ratting on him to management. FML
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, a new hire at my workplace, who is already on probation, yelled at me about filing an HR complaint about him. I had customers, who definitely heard. I've never filed a complaint. FML
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, after years of listening to my coworker complaining about everything in her life, including her job, I finally stood up to her and bitched at her for complaining and not doing anything about it. She went to my boss, and now it's in my job description to listen to her when she complains. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I feel for you but having to deal with "high school" co workers is nonsense no one should have to deal with. You won't win by hiding customer complaints & doing what's right is the ultimate best choice. Keep your chin up, keep doing what you know is right & you will come out on top on the long run. Worst case scenario - have a talk with your boss & let them know. At the end of the day, their approval is the only one that will do you real benefit regardless.

Their approval or disapproval is a moot issue. You were all hired to do a job with a given set of expatactions. If they neglected to meet them it was your obligation to report them. They not only made themselves look bad, they made the company look bad.

I know this feeling. I've worked as a server and had coworkers do shitty jobs and I came by to help their tables and sometimes ended getting tipped by those tables which they were pissed about.

Your co-workers should understand that they aren't at high school anymore. If you don't perform at your job at the expected level, you get replaced.

You did nothing wrong, they're clearly too incompetent to be good employees.

Customers are the lifeline of a business. No customers, no jobs. Escalating a customer complaint to management is the right thing to do. If you are the source of that customer complaint, you either shape up or ship out.

You are a snitch. But that is what comes with the territory of doing the right thing, people hating you for it. Which is why alot of people dont do the right thing or allow people to do bad things, they don't want to be disliked or hated. If more people applauded those who do right, the world would be a better place. So bravo sir, bravo.
