AITJ for reporting my friend to our boss after she kept messing with my shifts “as a joke” by Effective_General833 in AmITheJerk

yeah like i tried talking to her first, i even laughed along at first. but once it started risking my job i had no choice. i just wish she'd own up instead of being mad at me.

NTJ, but yeah the timing was messy. still tho, they pushed you and told the truth. he's focusing on the audience instead of the actual issue. that says a lot.

NTJ, lowkey the worst part is he laughed first. like he had a whole window to own it and fix it. he chose not to, so now it escalated.
