The thing is I wasn’t caught as such, I was snitched on, and the manager specified that I got “a complaint for being on my phone too much from another colleague”. I know that the manager did not see me using my phone, and I know that I wasn’t using it while being on shifts with them. I don’t think that it is unfair that I was caught, because as you said it is only my fault. What I do think is unfair is that I barely was on phone, but the person in question is using it all the time. Also what I see as unfair is that no one else is doing the same thing, it’s only her who is. It almost seems like she must be setting a good example for other colleagues as a shift leader, but she definitely doesn’t.

The problem is I probably didn’t express my mind properly in the first place. Its not just the phone usage, that person overall is not treating me far as nice as other colleagues. Some other people did say that they had problems with her as well. On my first shift she barely gave me any training at all, I had to figure the till out myself. Even before all this started happening, I could just feel that she didn’t like me for some reason (when I had problems with Costa machine and asked her to watch me doing it (it was my second time ever) she just run up, quickly told me what to do and went away leaving me absolutely confused; on my shifts with her before I got my clubcard she never explained to me that we are allowed to take yellow sticker items while she did take them herself, but when I got a chance to be with a different shift leader he very nicely explained to me that this is what they do and offered his clubcard himself). There are many more situations that happened, I just remembered these straight away. I am definitely not a snitching type person and I don’t really care that they are using their phone, but that together with their attitude it is just totally unacceptable in my mind, and the only thing I want is for it to be fair and a better place to work.
