    When I was a young teenager, I worked at BK. I was friends with most of the workers. Most of them. There was one weasly little shit who wouldnt help anyone except the cashier he had a crush on. It wasn’t his job, he had to work on something else, he leaves in a half hour. Take your pick, he made an excuse for it. One day I was done with his bullshit. Almost got him fired and arrested. All it took was one snide remark and taking a punch to the face. He wouldn’t help me? Well I went out of my way to help him with something. It was a big job and he sheepishly thanked me.

    “Ya, its called teamwork.” Thats when he hit me. It was such a pathetic punch it took me a second to realize he punched me. It took me another second to realize why he punched me. So I stuck a metaphorical dagger in and twisted. While the manager chewed him out, I made the choice to not press charges. I didnt try and have him fired or anything, I would just let him suffer in his own mistakes. He quit after they found his till low on cash.

    I worked with someone like this. I did the entire setup and migration, while he literally hid and slept in the server room. Then I did the weekend work from the hotel, while he slept in. He took the company van to lunch and didn’t bother to knock on the door and see if I was hungry.

    The worst was when I went into the communal bathroom and saw shit on the floor, the toilet seat, the toilet paper, the plastic surrounding the spare paper… But none on the sink. He didn’t wash his hands. No one fessed up so I reviewed the camera footage in the hallway and eliminated anyone not walking near the bathroom. I called him out and said I’m not his mother and I shouldn’t have to clean his literal shit because he’s too lazy. We lost an office manager to his bathroom blow ups before - she quit when she started scrubbing and realized it wasn’t worth it. I was being paid a lot of money to design and implement networks, but now I was scrubbing shit. He cleaned it after that.

    But even then he wasn’t fired. He brought beg bugs into the office. He wasn’t fired. Eventually his slacking off cost an upper manager his evening. No one listened to me complain until someone “important” had to deal with it.

    Never again!
