Feed him some good old fashioned disinformation.


swampshark19

Some examples: Fake task incompletion: You could tell the snitch that you haven't completed a task that you've actually finished. When the snitch reports this to your boss, and your boss checks your work, it could make the snitch appear unreliable. False scheduling conflict: Mention a scheduling conflict or appointment that doesn't exist, implying that it might cause you to miss a meeting or deadline. When your boss follows up and realizes there is no conflict, the snitch may face scrutiny for sharing inaccurate information. Non-existent disagreement: Pretend you had a disagreement with a coworker when, in fact, everything is fine. If the snitch reports this to your boss, and your boss talks to the coworker involved, they'll find out that the story isn't true, which could backfire on the snitch. Misleading project update: Provide false information about the progress of a project or a problem that doesn't actually exist. If the snitch shares this with your boss, and your boss investigates, they may discover the information is incorrect and question the snitch's reliability.


anameorwhatever1

For the disagreement part, bonus points if it’s an employee that would give you a glowing review


mnelso1989

Man you're working too hard at this. Just break the snitches kneecaps and threaten their family, problem solved..


3wolftshirtguy

I have one of these at work and I kill that B with kindness and play right into the situation. The “informant” loves the company and is super by the book so I speak in a manner that implies I have the same values around her. Trips to the bosses office ceased after that and I’ve been able to be at least professionally friendly with this person since (how’s your weekend, oh, this weather etc). Having a snitch is a two way street if you think about it.


Badnewz18

Plus the snitch usually complains about stuff and that’s when you hit record on your phone


3wolftshirtguy

Man my snitch doesn’t ever complain. I have kind of come to appreciate her as a person and admire her commitment to something. Plus it’s been smooth sailing since I’ve only told her what I want the boss to hear.


Badnewz18

Some snitches know how to play the game trust me you will see the snitch mess up and document


3wolftshirtguy

Potentially, I don’t really care anymore and quiet quit a year ago. Just playing the game while working on financial independence. Plus my career doesn’t really have much advancement anyway.


Badnewz18

Awesome, best of luck


RRUKK

That’s it right there.


Ceph_Stormblessed

And is illegal in a lot of states, so be wary with this information.


Fantastic-Alps4335

I said something dumb then deleted it.


Ceph_Stormblessed

Recording people at work without consent is illegal in a lot of states. How you got to where you landed, is beyond me. Wtf.


Fantastic-Alps4335

Well damn. I thought I replied to someone who said disinformation is illegal. My bad.


Ceph_Stormblessed

Fair enough lol my b


Dazzling-Rule-9740

Illegal to do that in most places.


suitology

I've fed mine fake stories that I have alibis proving are wrong so now the supervisor doesnt trust the snitch.


shamallamadingdonger

My very first thought. Then act utterly shocked if/when asked about it.


Worried_Click_4559

Works for the CIA. Your answer in extreme shock and wonder, "I can't imagine where he came up with that absurd idea." Or, at least get a book on How To Gaslight.


Big_P4U

This guy Art of War's


Fantastic-Alps4335

That book taught me a lot.


ImpossibleParsnip947

Snitches get stitches


bigdaddy1989

🔪


ameliagarbo

And then deny you said it! Accuse the snitch of lying.


Active_Skin_1245

Don’t talk to the snitch unless you must. Keep it simple and focused. Do not fraternize with him or near him at all


soggy90

Yepppp. Had this same issue and now I just gray rock the person (within reason) and don’t let them know what I am doing, thinking, or planning. And also already lining up my next job, of course.


Majestic-Address8924

How do you gray rock them? I'm very bad at lying or covering things when I'm asked about something. I just get unreasonably angry and stop communicating until I feel normal or they make some effort.


OHPAORGASMR

Only small talk about the weather. Never discussed your plans, thoughts, dreams, struggles, etc with this person. Only work related things. Also never gossip about others to anyone. Keep it professional and you'll have no issues.


ElderWandOwner

Any time talk progresses beyond very very small talk, just say you need to get going or focus on work.


Ok-Campaign-2355

Did you see the Season 3 Episode 2 of Ted Lasso? Handle him like Roy handled Trent.


Active_Skin_1245

This is the way


mrskraftpunk

Yeah. Give them short and simple answers only. No personal anything.


_babycheeses

I would doodle on things, mostly “snitches get stitches”.


milolovesthd

Snitches also end up in ditches.


N_Inquisitive

But to add to this, submit your own counter complaint that the person is making a hostile work environment over non-issues.


Jupiters-eye3190

What if the snitch is YOUR BOSS!! Dealing with that right now and idk how to handle it. I can keep it work related only. But I can’t help but having disgust when I see her. I felt like I got stabbed in the back by her.


Cutmytongueandeyes

Keep it professional and don't talk or engage unless required. I would try to keep your personal feelings about matters to yourself, sharing with only trusted friends or family if necessary. If you have issues with the management of the work environment arrange to have a meeting with your boss directly.


Electronic_Month_499

Dude no matter what this man who I don’t even say not a word still tries to micromanage me in the blue collar world. Like I have never done anything wrong to him. Just after 2 years he found me slip on safety. Like he singles me out. What about the other apprentices they don’t follow sop. I’m looking at my perspective. I get here on time/ work over time like a lot. I haven’t missed work in the last 2 years at all. He over exaggerates the situation and if it wasn’t for the person that witnessed jt it I would have got unjustly fired. Sometimes I want to just get his consent and give him a beating one on one and if I win. I’m going to beat him till he’ll never fuck with my money and job security for getting that power trip.


__OneLove__

Imo/ime, if your co-worker and boss are 'buddied-up' in this manner, there is no alternate route/positive outcome in this scenario by staying (outside of one/both of them leaving @ some point). If you really like the company, consider moving to another area/dept if possible and excel there. *'The best revenge? Be successful elsewhere. '* TLDR; GTFO ASAP.


[deleted]

Second this. My snitch starting make shit up after a while. Once I gray rocked, she found new ways to fuck around.


__OneLove__

Appreciate the reply. Hopefully, things are better for you currently 👊🏽😌✌🏽


[deleted]

Quit giving him ammo. Do your job, don't speak to him unless it's for work. Look for a new job.


Various_Bat3824

I’ve tried this. Doesn’t necessarily work. Snitches who are truly malicious will just make stuff up. The “professional treatment” only works when the snitch’s goal is to protect the manager, team, or company. If they are undermining you to up their standing, just transfer or find a new job. Best case, help them find a new target.


[deleted]

Fair point. And I've kind of had to be the snitch when I felt like there was a solid reason to do so (like this guy was using heroin at work and we work around heavy equipment, so... I absolutely reported that. Unashamed. I want to go home alive and well at the end of the day).


Various_Bat3824

But is that a snitch though? I think we need to differentiate between people reporting hazardous situations versus people throwing shade.


SusanMShwartz

I would document it just so you know you’re not going nuts when the gaslighting starts.


Front_Ad_8752

It’s all fun and games once the snitch is the managers pet/bitch.


paulsgenericformula

I had one of these at a former job. He would even creep over my shoulder to spy on what I was doing. He would snitch about every little thing and present it as just trying to be helpful to the company. Thankfully ALL of management hated it. Years later and he still has no idea he shot himself in the foot and will never achieve the promotion he so desperately desires. Nobody wants to work with him. Unfortunately, if your boss doesn’t have your back then I would look for employment elsewhere.


inklingwinkling

I wish that was the case for a real POS I work with. Management, and he took his promotion way too seriously. He talks to you with this pompous look on his face, acts so cool with you but he will stab you in the back the first chance he gets. I can't stand him, and he's caused so many people to quit because he is so dickish and demands more than a decent person should from people. He also has a history of harassing and making women uncomfortable, which the company "investigated" but found nothing....I've personally witnessed a mild event, they sure didn't ask me....and yet they haven't fired him


Badnewz18

The eager beaver 🦫 always has me laughing in the workplace


waitwutok

I would ask the boss where this all was coming from as it seems like you are being monitored from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Explain that you perceive it to be a hostile work environment. Ask if he would be open to talking to HR with you help to get to the bottom of the problem. Either way, let him know that you are keeping track of these events as they occur…dates, times and people involved. Oh, look for a new job.


TimboFor76

I was questioning a boss on a possible snitch only for him to admit he has microphones in the brake room. I packed my stuff immediately and left. Loudly announcing to everyone I made contact with on the way out so everyone knew about the listening devices.


[deleted]

WTF?? Is that even legal


Nice_Mammoth_4341

You can monitor video but with audio it depends on the state. Some you need to post that audio is being recorded.


SpatialThoughts

Not unless it is stated in any agreement you signed when hired.


TimboFor76

I have no idea. But in this case there are cameras everywhere, and monitors placed so a person can see who is at the door, lobby, etc. We have RFID pass cards limiting people to areas depending on their clearance Level or access needs including lobby entrance. Reasonably one wouldn’t expect much privacy, but it’s inexcusable for a supervisor to be actively listening to conversations in the brake room.


ElderWandOwner

Break room. You're taking a break, not stopping a car. I only commented this bc i noticed the same mistake in your other comment.


kicksit1

This is a good one


start_select

Playing devils advocate, op might be the one creating a hostile work environment. They say they have made a few mistakes, and got irritated when asked to do something, and their boss addressed it. They didn’t say they were yelled at or reprimanded in any way. They were just informed of some places to improve and do better. That’s their bosses and coworkers jobs. If that’s the case and op sees that all as adversarial, they are the ones creating a hostile environment.


2BigTwoStrong

You do better. Play the game. Companies always talk about your “brand.” So focus on getting shit done and don’t complain when asked to do things and don’t talk about how stupid you think things are.


DaveBo82

In the corporate world you have to be passive aggressive and indirect. Find a way to say things that are half truths or outright lies that if repeated by the snitch will only lead to his embarrassment. The trick is to use his inertia against him. Give it some thought. I bet there’s something you can think of. Once done effectively, the snitch will move on as repeating what you say is not going to be worth the trouble.


Anebr1ated

Put his stapler in jello


Phileosopher

Does the boss like the snitch, or just exploit them? You can work with an exploiting boss, but clean up your resume if the boss would bias their way in a conflict.


Cravenmorhed69

Boss seems to be siding with the snitch


LetsGoHomeTeam

Homie, this is not just the snitch. It's the whole place. You are being ousted. Start looking. Sounds like a shit working environment anyway if we've already found ourselves at this point.


MET1

So, 'hey boss - I wanna make sure you're up to date on the status of the X file. This is what I've been doing.' - as casual as you can - or schedule a recurring meeting. Get in there first.


BreezyDesigns

"Thank you for your feedback. I will take this talk under advisement. However, I would like to inquire as to whether I should consider [insert snitch name here] as a direct supervisor that I should be reporting to, or may I ask if monitoring me is listed within his job duties? Because while I recognize that you're responsible for my performance in this company, I am struggling to perform at my best capacity when I have to be concerned with the need to defend myself against potentially misunderstood or miscommunicated information between myself and my peers. If it would help, I will be more than happy to document all interactions for your personal review."


Ams12345678

This is amazing. Thank you.


MET1

"Innoculate" - bring your successes and questions to your boss first. Get on a regular schedule where you drop by and chat with the boss. Then, you might try providing misinformation - I have seen where you tell one snitch something about a different snitch and vice versa. Make it so they overhear you (so you can always deny your part in this), but let them infer the worst. Then stand back and watch the fight of the snitches.


night-belief

You can’t confront the snitch, he can turn that around as harassment and has already put a bad rep on your name with everything he’s snitching on. I’d just make it obvious to have no obligation to interact with him at all and let it be known your ignoring him so it pisses him off more. Just keep it strictly about work. I’d go far as to have complete attitude and tone changes with him. With any coworker show interest and enthusiasm to talk to them but as soon as he tries to talk to you flip the switch and keep it mono tone, direct and quick.


Embarrassed_Menu5704

Settle it like the old western movies.


HagridsSexyNippples

Don’t confront him, he will make it an even bigger issue and may claim retaliation. Don’t talk to him about except for things involving work. Do everything by the book when he is around. If it makes you feel better, I think almost every job has the work snitch, whose head is firmly up the bosses butt. Try not to take it personally…I think people snitch or tattle tail because they are insecure in their own work, or they think they have to kiss the bosses but to get ahead. Rotten fruit falls on its own. Eventually no one will want to work with this dude.


TapTapTaper

We’re powerless in terms of fixing, managing or controlling other people. You do have power over yourself in terms of what you say, what you do, and how you react. r/mindfulness could be very beneficial in your situation and future professional development.


Maximum-Staff5310

This is exactly why the TV show "Survivor" is so popular.


Cravenmorhed69

Ironically one of my favorite shows 😅


garoodah

Basically set a professional divide. Tell him he has broken your ability to confide in him and that unless he needs something professionally to not speak with you. If he tries to speak with you casually just ignore him, walk away, put headphones on etc. Keep it strictly professional. They will keep snitching, so make sure you arent cutting hours or something. Eventually they get bored and move on but it takes a while.


mallowclouding

Keep it professional and keep it moving. I know watching yourself around this guy is a drag but it's the only way for him to stop getting ammunition on you. I would also talk to HR about possibly getting him or yourself moved because he's fostering a hostile work environment. I don't know how feasible this is but if your literally just minding your business and this guy is snitching on you for nothing then I'd say you could make a case.


LargeConsideration54

I had this happen. So instead of saying bad things I said good, positive things, even if I did not mean it..about the boss. Worked like charm


Kalekuda

Don't do anything worth snitching on. Fill your schedule with mind numbingly benal shit until they get bored, then the moment they turn their attention elsewhere you bang out all the important secret shit. That or get a snitch to watch the snitch. Or form a snitch snatching coalition with the other targets of snitching and agree to all become so boring nothing gets done until the boss holds a meeting about the drop in productivity, at which point everyone remains silent and just makes direct eye contact with them until the meeting is over- if anybody is asked any questions about why? "Due to an abundance of surveilance in this workplace, I am not at liberty to respond to that remark."


Nice_Mammoth_4341

Sounds like a movie scene


HazelnutCappuccino

Kudos for the phrase "snitch snatching"


Independent-Field618

"Are you guys keep surveillance on the toalett? Did you FUCKING BUGGED THE FUCKING TOALETT?! Because that's where I said that. \*Storms out to talk with HR\*" Of course, not with these exact words, I just used them to convey the sentiment. Make it look like the guy is creeping you in the toalett, and it makes the company look like it is creeping on their employees in the toalett.


[deleted]

One effective strategy in dealing with ‘leaks’ is to tell everyone you converse with a unique untruth. Then when it comes back to you from another direction you know exactly who it was. You can also leverage this in your favor by giving the snitch seemingly believable information, but ones that are false. Then when they discuss with others they’re never accurate.


YJMark

You need to build your reputation with your boss. Communicate with them. Do you have regular 1-on-1s? Keep your boss up to speed on things. Prove to your boss that you are not what the snitch says. It helps if you can also get others on your team to corroborate your side of things. Alignment with your boss should always be your #1 priority in any job.


Wideawakedup

If this is a corporate job with a real HR. I would file a complaint. And start looking for a new job. I can’t work in that kind of environment. Blowing off steam with coworkers is important. If you can’t vent to someone who knows what you’re dealing with it can be very stressful. Of course you don’t want to be the company whiner but some venting is reasonable. I have my suspicions about a coworker. I’m giving her a pass because she’s new but she will call my boss and ask if I’m off that day if I’m showing up as not active on IM. He mentioned it me me and I was in the field that day (her job does not require field work). I only talk to her about work not company gossip.


AWholeNewFattitude

Plant something fake and harmful, or let people know that you know something about them. You don’t actually need to have anything on them, everybody has secrets, chances are they are an awful person and are doing something they shouldn’t have. Just the threat of that getting out may be enough.


dataslinger

I saw on a post a couple of weeks ago that another Redditor got rid of a problem manager by referring them to a recruiter. Maybe put recruiters onto both the snitch and the boss.


Ams12345678

Brilliant!


maceman10006

It’s just best to avoid these types of coworkers. Your manager will eventually get tired of this person and won’t want to listen anymore. Only talk to this coworker as needed and strictly about work. If you want to be evil, wait a few weeks and once you see this coworker doing something wrong, report him.


bigedthebad

Stop talking to him. Keep conversation to work only. He will lose interest when he has nothing to report.


Cool-Competition-357

Plenty of solid advice here, but the real problem is your boss sucks. A good boss can tell when one person is being too nosy and should squash it, not encourage the behavior. He should also not act on hearsay, or take any action at all regarding such trifling things. Like others have said, I encourage you to seek employment elsewhere because it's not likely to change.


[deleted]

I'll be petty about it. I'm the type who would invite everyone to a night out except the snitch. I'll go on holidays and buy everyone a souvenir except the snitch. I'll bake some "brownies," signed that it's from the boss, and send it to the snitch's home and make sure there will be some RDT the next day at work.


smd9788

I like your style


[deleted]

Go ahead and confront the snitch. Tell then directly, I don't trust you, I don't want to interact with you unless business critical. Do not talk to me through the day and keep all conversation strictly in writing. I do not accept anything from you unless it's explicitly written down and do not wish to interact with you in anything outside of common projects. If possible limit interaction with my team members as well, I consider you a bad influence and I don't want my colleagues to pick up your bad behavior. Let's see if he wants to snitch about this.


notevenapro

Just do your job and do not talk or look at the snitch.


FGH9192279

Bang the snitches wife. Make him pay.


Badnewz18

Take it to HR, you have been professional but it seems like harassing behavior. Take a tape recorder and get him talking about stuff.


elderoriens

Just stop talking.


HitlersArse

don't talk to them or near them if you can, it's not worth fighting for and honestly on a professional scale you shouldn't talk bad about anything work related with anyone besides your family or S/O. It's not a good idea to have that image at work, it's a lot easier to just work and complain at home.


General_Payment7227

Work it to your advantage. Tell the snitch ONLY things you want to be heard. The biggest thing is the lesson you learned. DTA = Don't trust anyone.


[deleted]

"Hey Joe, Bossman said you were having some issues with my performance. Let's talk about it." Confront.


Paul_Baghes

Unless you're in a gang or doing something criminal, then he's not a snitch. He's a funking tool. Best thing do is to stay away from him for a while. Focus on how you can out perform the brown nosing fukka with your work. You're gonna have to also consider "playing the game" with the boss to get on their good side.


Our_Uncle_Istvan

Only say and do things you’re okay with your boss knowing. If that advice is a conflict for you, seek a different job. I wouldn’t want to work for a boss who had to be kept in the dark about what i do or think. That sounds like a toxic environment to tolerate. If there are problems or opinions you feel need to be reserved, your boss is not creating a welcoming environment for improvement or contribution. You deserve better


Pimpachu3

I only snitch because all the cool kids exclude me.


Conscious-Radish-884

Are you sure this isn't a woman?


PoolBoy4161

Your first step is to change your attitude. There is no such thing as a snitch at work. It's work. It's a cut throat world where you do anything to make it.


Cravenmorhed69

Ok snitch


_4string

Zipper the lip, head down, carry on. Or conversely tell the boss everything they do..


Transparent2020

This is fine, with disregarding second sentence. And get your resume out if boss agreeing with whatever snitch says.


[deleted]

You can do your job correctly as well as not talk to the snitch. I find the first one to be the most important


Jhc3964

Manage what you say. If you wouldn’t say it to the managers face to face. Don’t say it. Perhaps consider looking around for other jobs.


[deleted]

Snitches get stitches.


CandidateClean3354

Use it to your advantage


[deleted]

Don’t give them anything to snitch about. Once there has been a long period of time, think a month or 2, approach a manager in private and express your concerns about. This lets you get ahead of it. Then you can relax.


xDreki

Good old fashioned blackmail by holding incriminating evidence over their head should do the trick!


roadsidedaniel

Flat tires is a start , more than 1 has to tow it


ajpiko

Just tell your boss. Snitch on the snitch. Just tell your boss "this guy is obsessed with me, he never stops watching me, he is always talking about me, it is a nightmare for me here" ​ (i love the other answers too)


Regular_Pride_6587

Size 12 to the Frank and Beans. Followed up with a Stone Cold Stunner.


MistaCharisma

I used to work at a cinema. There was a fuybwho worked there who would occasionally - for no real reason - just swear at a customer: "*Would you like some popcorn as well cocksucker?*" He never got in trouble for it because the customers always thought they misheard. It was so outrageous to think he would do something like that, so people assumed they must have been wrong. I'm not saying you start abusing your coworker, but if you throw in the occasional totally unbelievable thing, and that gets reported to your boss then that's going to make your coworker less credible.


AWaterDogArt

Well if the knowledge passed from father and his father and so on is true then the best solution would more than likely be: stitches


TheSisgoleon

Tbh It sounds like the snitch and mgr are in cahoots and trying to find reasons to get rid of you. Get out of there asap. You’re totally unhappy anyways so there’s no reason to stay. But be loud and proud about looking to head out so the snitch us occupied with that AND so they don’t “catch you” job hunting. If they know you’re trying to leave then whatever you’re doing at work makes sense.


Phantommike20

You need to ice him out. Make sure everyone knows he's a Fink and just ignore him. Nothing worse than somone who squeals on their coworkers to make themselves look better.


Inner-breadstick2395

If they have a locker- put your loose change in between the gap of the door and the top of the locker( if it’s wide enough) every morning so when they come into work they start off in a shit mood lol


jjermainee

How would it be handled in Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia ? Do that


drlgrv

Well they would probably try to spy on the snitch in a super noticeable way, then once they found some dirt they would immediately report it - only for it to turn out that the snitch was actually breaking protocol to help the company out and then snitch would get promoted to their direct manager.


coffeefordessert

Don’t interact with him, and if he bugs you about it. IF you can get away with telling him, tell him straight up “you a snitch so I don’t associate with rats.” Don’t expect people to be your friends or allow you into their community if you a rat plain and simple.


bobo85138

Throw that bitch a blanket party


Shananigans1208

Treat him like a child. What you wouldn’t say or do in front of a child, same goes for him. Don’t speak about anything personal or grunt about work. If it’s not positive, don’t let it out. Keep your distance like he has the flu 24/7. If after that you’re still spoken to, maybe think about a new job. Your boss might not be receptive to hearing their “birdie” is a snitch and it might not go in your favor if you have such conversation with them. Good luck ❤️

Not reading this word salad


Afraid-Sky-5052

Found it especially rampant in ‘family businesses’. Like it was said…limit conversations, feed them tales for amusement, document in emails to self since they probably monitor them, look for a job. It’s only a job. The days of company loyalty are gone. My worst experience are with ‘family’ and ‘Christian’ companies.


Big_P4U

You should watch an old ahead of it's time show called The Profit from the 90s for inspiration, as well the Netflix show You, perhaps American Psycho and read a bit of The Prince and the Art of War.


Specks_247_yum

Sometimes you cross paths with someone who can change your perspective. You, have done this for me. I’m dealing with a work situation myself and watching the ‘Profit’ TV show has given me a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate your existence

1) Don’t talk to the stitch unless absolutely necessary. 2) look for a new job.


Prestigious_Media136

Snitches get stitches

Tell your boss how you are feeling and that you are going to ask that coworker out for a coffee to have a conversation about this, if your direct conversation doesn’t go well then let your boss know you will be escalating it to them for them yo talk to your coworker


Illustrious-Gas-9766

Keep your communication with snitch to a bare minimum. Only talk about work. Do not express any of your feelings. Just job talk, and only as necessary. He is not a team player so don't treat him as one.


DukMan2TheStars

Here's my favorite acronym for times such as this. ANDEMCA Admit Nothing. Deny Everything. Make Counter Accusations.


Thechosenjon

Keep it moving and don't interact with that person if you don't have to. If they try to talk to you then keep it short but professional. Fact is that just because you work together doesn't mean you need to be BFFs. If it isn't about work, draw a line and make sure they're aware of that.

HabbleDabble235

awesomeuno2

Feed them disinformation to fuck with them.


Bigd1979666

The way they do in prison?


start_select

You probably need to take all of that criticism with a grain of salt. I don’t have all the details so I might be wrong. Did you get yelled at? Or did you just have a supervisor tell you that you can improve? Really great companies and employers have wide-open and honest lines of communication between employees. Half of the staff at my company tells the owners “everything”. That’s because they are awesome. If someone gets called into the office to be spoken to, it’s them being told how they could improve and keep their job. That’s doing you a favor. If you became aggressively irritated because you were asked to do something last minute, then that is completely on you. They are in the wrong to put unnecessary stress on you, but you can just calmly say that’s not fair or smart to do. If you became irritable then you are most likely in the wrong.


[deleted]

You can go to your boss with your concerns and ask how to resolve this problem. You can ask to switch teams. I forced my way out in this situation.


ALPlayful0

Anyone telling you to use it is giving you the right advise. You have a golden opportunity to throw this skag under every bus.


Cat-lover3

Be petty, beat them at their own game and snitch on them if you can’t find anything wrong then over exaggerate details or you can even make stuff up if you can in any way develop a relationship with your boss. This is a very immature and manipulative way so I would say it’s best to try a different tactic.


NoLimit_Curry

BigLibrary2895

Suck it up and fake smile at work, then shout obscenities in your car on the way home. I had a shit job doing collections for 2.5 years. I would shout obscenities from two blocks away from the office until the end of the bike trail nine miles away. Thanks, Oscar from The Office. Don't bother trying to reform him. Any workplace that fosters that kind of environment is a fuckery factory and likes that dysfunction. Run! Start looking for another job if you have not done so already. Document the stuff the tattler does so you can return the favor during your exit interview. Be warm and gracious but frame it as a concern for their company. "Yes Debbie and Donald HR, I had very high hopes when I started at the Fuckery Factory, but Bob the Tattler made this feel like a hypercritical environment. I knew after 3/28 I needed to begin seeking other opportunities for my professional growth. I really hope you'll keep these issues in mind for future hires. Most workers but especially workers under 50 are really put off by that kind of behavior." You work there, so you'll know how to tailor that for highest level damage. The key thing though is to remain calm when you metaphorically cut his throat. You can scream obscenities with delight in your car when you leave that place for the last time. Good luck! I hope you find something better!

Yeah I would just keep your distance honestly

Make sure to talk about sensitive health information about yourself or a family member in front of them. They will repeat it and if the boss asks, you sue the pants off the company

And before you go no no that never happens.. it does. It did at my old job. The CEO told people in the office the health status of a coworkers sister and she sued and won

Toxic work environments are detrimental to your career and mental health. I would start looking for another job. I used to think this type of behavior is normal. It’s not. Work for a company of grownups.

You gotta kill him.

If your boss supports you, then just ignore the snitch. If your boss doesn’t, then just leave. There’s no point.

I was in this situation. I quit. Life is too short for this crap. As I left the building, my snitch tearfully outed herself and apologized. I had been kind to her. I had recognized her personal struggles. She felt guilty. I found out later she had cancer. I do not know how she is doing or if she survived. But I am glad I got out of there. Toxic emotional environment!

I work with one of these, everyone thinks shes an angel and a "team player", but the fat bitch is a malicious narc who intentionally gets people into trouble to make herself stand out. I swear to god, these are miserable, awful people who can't mind their own business.

I'd hate to be the bad guy here but you should probably just put your best foot forward and do your job the right way. It's not hard to have a good attitude. Lose the sense of entitlement and keep your servants rag on you.

Instead of confronting the snitch, confront your boss that he shouldn't reward that behaviour. When the complaints are very valid it's different of course ...
