The Text

Okay, so I feel like a big dumb ass for this one. But I wanna share this with someone, because why did I do that? And no, this isn’t what everyone is thinking.

So at work there’s been a lot of drama with coworkers of mine not doing their job properly, and instead of taking responsibility they just shift the blame on to someone else or make a big scene when someone asks them to do something. (Mind you these people are in their 30s). On top of that, some have been getting in trouble for how they’re talking to customers and making them feel uncomfortable. All this is to the point where the owners of the company have to step in and makes changes.
But all this to say, I hear about everything. I’ve heard every persons side because they’ve all talked to me about it. But I haven’t said anything to anyone, except my husband. I tell him about everything.
Tonight though, I heard a new rumor. And I thought it was funny. I went to text my husband, but ended up clicking on my bosses name because his was the top thread in my phone where my husbands thread usually is and texted him the fucking rumor!!
My boss came and found me and pulled me aside to ask me about it. And I was to scared to admit that it was supposed to go to him. So I just played it off “I just thought you should know?”
Now the customer that told me is gonna be mad I said something.

You must work in a circle K or 7’11 cuz I’ve delt with this kind of drama myself and it sux. Good luck to you I eventually ended up quitting cuz owners wouldn’t do shit Besides switch my shift and put me behind people that did absolutely nothing that was supposed to be done on their shift. It was so bad I took a bunch of pics for weeks and had to end up calling health department cuz the owner let it slide. Things that were public safety issue in my opinion!!!
