1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Whatever, friend, let's get into the courtroom. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: Yep, the Kiki Court Podcast. 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm back, friend with another bonus case for the podcast, 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: so that means you are the jury. And this one 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: is a little sticky for me because I don't like 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: a snitch, but I understand snitching when it needs to happen, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: So let's just get it too. The case it says, Hey, Kiki, 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: my name is Dana. I work for a company that 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: allows its employees to work from home. 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: HM. Love that for you. 11 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: However, I am having an issue with my coworker because 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: she always brags about doing and running errands on company time, 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: which has in the past made us miss deadlines on 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: reports and projects. 15 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: So I got fed up. 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: And I finally reported it to management about her missing 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: the deadlines, about her running errands, because it kept causing 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: me to have to rush my work and cover for 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: her every time she misses a deadline. Now she's on 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: probation and now she has to report to the office 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: three times a week. She's been crying about it, saying 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: that she has to now find child care for her baby. 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: But I don't feel bad because she brought this on herself. However, 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: my other coworker called me a snake because I snitched. 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: Should I feel bad for telling on her? Hmm? 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you like this, Whatever you do 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: on your job is your business as long as your 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: work gets done. However, when your lack of performance starts 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: to affect my work, I think in my work ability, 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: I have a big problem with that. So I don't 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: think you're wrong, and I don't think you're a snake. 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: I think if anything, if this was like a friend 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: or you know, even a coworker, you could have said 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: something to her first and said, hey, girl, I know 35 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: you got a lot going on. I know you're running 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: around running errands during workday. However, when you miss these 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: deadlines is really putting me in a bad spot. Is 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: there any way you can, you know, fix that? And 39 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: you could have given her the grace of bringing it 40 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: to her first. But this is a job and we're 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: all getting paid to do our job and deliver and 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: show up and perform and do the things that we 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: are asked to do. 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: And if she's not doing that, then. 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: Yes, you need to report that because it's not fair 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: for you to go to work every day and you 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: know you're rushing you're feeling drained, you're not performing to 48 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: the best of your ability because you are constantly covering 49 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: for someone who clearly is taking advantage of the work 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: from home set up. So if her punishment by the 51 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: company is to now she has to come to work 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: three times a week, then at least, you know, three 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: times a week, maybe hopefully you won't be put in 54 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: a bad spot and she'll meet her dadlines. 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: So I mean, I hate to have to snitch. 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't want you to ever have to snitch, but 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: she kind of puts you in a position where I 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: feel like you didn't have a choice. Okay, So I 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: don't think you're wrong, and you know, hopefully her being 60 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: put on probation will help her to become a better 61 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: employee and take her job a little bit more seriously. 62 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: And if she fumbles from this point, then that's on her. Like, 63 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: it's not anyone's responsibility to find your childcare. That's not 64 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: a part of I mean, I'm sure it's a beautiful 65 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: thing when you work from home, you have that luxury, 66 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: but that's not your job's responsibility. Like people have to 67 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: get up and find childcare every day. So I don't 68 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. Friend, I don't think you're wrong. 69 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: I feel bad for you that you have to you 70 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: had to be put in the spot, so I don't 71 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: know you are the jury though. 72 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: Let me know your thoughts on it. 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: Of course, will post the video all my socials and 74 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: on the Fred's Show socials.
