Are coworkers supposed to help each other?

[Anonymous]

Im still new at my job and I work at hospital and I interview people Im in information on my duty today so many people are asking me about patients status answering phone calls left and right while writing names of watcher patients and at the same time encoding it on computer and some of my co workers help me but this one lady said "I will share my salary with her or them because they helped me at my job" maybe she's joking? ... I don't know too but she sound serious

Honestly girl, that co-worker of yours kinda sounds like a bitch! Helping each other out is just part of being on a team. We're all there to do our jobs and take care of patients.

I mean yeah, at the start it can be a lot to handle everything yourself while still getting used to the routine. But your other coworkers were just being nice lending you a hand when you were swamped. I wouldn't pay too much mind to Miss Crabapple over there. She's prob just bitter about something else.

We're all on the same side here trying to do good work. Don't let one salty lady get you down! Just keep doing your best. And the next time she's overwhelmed, feel free to "return the favor" and help her out too without expecting anything in return other than mutual respect on the job.

You got this newbie! Don't let the weird attitudes of others drag your energy down. Keep learning and keep doing you. The patients appreciate ALL our efforts in healthcare.

I will help her in her times of need too but my job is very busy unlike hers I have too many workload because Im not regular employee there they have less workload but if I have opportunity I will help her

Its just I thought I feel like a burden that they helped me when she said I should share my salary with them well my work load is bigger and than them. And they have less workload and my coworker Tonette helped me with everything I think its nice of her and my coworker M. noticed Tonette helped me and she commented I should share my salary with Tonett and M eventually… [+]

Ughh don't even sweat it girl, M is just being annoying as usual. Of course Tonette is gonna help show you the ropes since you're new - that's just part of the job.

And who cares if your workload is bigger, you're both working hard to help people anyway you can. That's what really matters, not petty drama.

I'd just be like "well when M decides to stop chatting and actually helps out more, maybe I'll consider it." Girl needs to mind her own business!

You and Tonette make a good team so don't let some hater get between you. If you wanna repay her kindness, maybe invite her out for lunch once you're feeling more settled in. But don't feel obliged at all.

Helping each other is normal, you got nothing to prove. Keep shining sis! These bitter chicks just wish they had your positivity.

Philippines. Its just I thought I feel like a burden that they helped me when she said I should share my salary with them well my work load is bigger and than them. And they have less workload and my coworker Tonette helped me with everything I think its nice of her and my coworker M. noticed Tonette helped me and she commented I should share my salary with Tonett and M eventually helped me too and she repeated that I should share my salary with her.

if help by act or time or effort is what they gave you, then you return it, and nothing more. did they give you money that you need to pay back? if not, make them a cake or something to show your appreciation and if that's not good enough, start looking for a new job and let them do the work without you and let them know they made you want to leave... or don't

[Asker]

Yeah I was thinking of bringing sweets at work on my next morning shift to show appreciation to them. Maybe brownies? I hope M and Maam Tonette will be there so that they I can share it to them money is nothing to me and I will feel bad not giving appreciation back

[Asker]

I mean I need my salary too to pay my bills but I just like giving returning the same effort they showed me

[Anonymous]

With work, yes. I don't know anyone that shares their salary with their coworkers.

[Asker]

Me too.
