I've not asked for any personal mother advice on here in some time but i am this time..
I work at a nursing home as a RNA and i love my job, full insurance, great pay vacation and benefits and in three years will pay to finish my RN, just 5 minutes from my house. I work third shift and love it, i like the residents, it schedules around my horse shows. I am great at it and great with the residents, my boss is great to work with..she could not be any better at all.
Two of the girls i work with, i went to high school with we were total opposites (still are...). The one girl is in very thin ice with our boss, the other does not care at all if she looses her job. I started having issues with the one girl right after i started, i worked with her one time and she put all of the work off on me (HER work), but someone has to do it. If you know me, I am a very easy person to get along with and have trouble saying "no" and will go out of my way to help others. I covered for her more then several times, she never once covered for me when i asked her to (agian, someone has to be there...), not that i expect anything in return...its just a friendly favor or two would be nice or atleast the truth instead of silly excuses. We have just had a ton of problems and to be honest do NOT get a long at all. I do not like her work ethic, i do not like how she treats our residents and i do not like her attitude.
We have two people on each of the day shifts, there is a strict rule that not both people can be outside at the same time (incase someone gets up and falls, or wondering and confused). I drive by, both of the girls are sitting outside smoking. I call my boss, tell her as it is VERY serious, they are putting someones life at risk if a resident was to fall or an alarm go off. This was not the first time they had been caught for this.
They narrowed it down to who told (me)...i do not trust either of these girls...the one did confront me about it but she does not worry me, the other girl does. Both of the girls had last night off (they work 3:30-9:00pm), i worked midnights last night 12-8am...i came home and my truck (which was at home as dad had the trailer hooked up to it, so i drove his truck to work) was keyed..not just lightly keyed but actually CARVED with a key. Police were out to file a report, i did not mention either of the girls names. Why?? Because it scares me to think what they may do if they did this. I live way out in the country, this was not just someone random driving down the road decided to stop over and key a random truck in a random driveway.
I went into work today to pick up my check and the girls were working, i planned that. I did not say a word to them, i just wanted to see their reaction...which confirmed everything. It was them..the whispering, the laughing.
Now for the motherly advice needed. Should i tell my boss about this in the morning? I do not want to risk loosing my job (which i just finished my 90 day period and had a long heart to heart talk to her about how much i love my job just days ago...) because of this. If my boss was to fire the other girl, i just worry what she would do..if she did not fire them then would they try to get me fired? Its just such a sticky situation. I would have rather then confront me about it and work this out then take out their anger on my truck..
Then, for reference...this is my baby
You can see where they actually started to carve it...then just said screw it and gashed it up.
