Toxic workplace🙂everyone s just slacking off and gossiping. what would u do if u were me? ?

So.. I been working in a beauty services company for 8months.

At first i thought it was a good place because the workers don’t seem stressed and let me pass probation a lots earlier.
Also not strict on clocking in.
I usually see my colleagues a hour late to work and leave early.

Then …. i seen worse They would even skip work after knowing my boss was outside the country.

I know it s really bad for a company growth. But i was hoping it was a spared or maybe sths keep its profit.

In fact it ve been losing money for years.
They lied about it.
Recently it has gotten worse (since the econ s bad) the company is drained.

The workers have to push the responsibility to others to keep their place. They had fired some frontline workers already.

I really want to stay til one year since the job market rn is bad.
But then they have started making rumours of me forcing me to leave. 🤮🤮🤮
Like for example , one married guy and a single guy tried hard to hitting on me (i tried every ways to ignore them) They would say things and made it sounds like i chose the married 🤮🤮🤮🤮.

They also had the manager fired , the new manager (they knew each other for years) would asked me questions that made it sound like i was the one making the manager fired.

The company ve been delaying everyone s salary. It s illegal…
they also forgot my MPF which is a must pay retirement funds. i could get them sue.

How can they force someone who has all these evidence. I can report them anytime…. 😐😐

Would u report them if u were me?

What the heck, that sounds like such a toxic situation at your work! I definitely wouldn't blame you for wanting to report them or get out of there.

A few things I would consider:

- Gather up as much evidence as you can of the late/skipping work, salary delays, gossiping about you, etc. Cover your bases if you do want to report them.

- Start quietly looking for a new job on the side. No need to stay somewhere that stressful. Having another offer lined up gives you more flexibility.

- I wouldn't directly confront or report them yet. Lay low and let the higher-ups think everything is fine. That buys you time to find a new role.

- If they start the rumors and drama against you again though, be prepared to go to HR/whoever's above your boss. Have your proof ready.

- Consider giving notice once you secure something else. Don't feel bad about ditching that toxic place!

Your health and happiness should come first. Fingers crossed you find an awesomer job with cool people soon so you can peace outta there! Let me know if any other ideas come up too.

Sorry for late reply.
Yea i m mentally exhausted.
Thank you for your suggestions, yea I m doing things u recommend. Collecting as much evidence as possible.

No problem, I can imagine you must be exhausted dealing with all that drama at work. It's good that you're collecting evidence though, that's smart so they can't deny anything if you do have to report them.

Have you looked into any other jobs yet? I know it's tough out there but maybe checking some job sites could turn up some leads even if they're not perfect. Just to start planning your escape from that toxic place!

In the meantime, try to avoid those gossiping coworkers as much as you can. Spend your breaks alone on your phone or something so they can't corner you. And don't let their rumors get to you - you know the truth! Easier said than done, I know. But just hang in there until you find something better.

You seem really cool and definitely too good to deal with all that crap they're putting you through. I hope things start looking up for you soon! Let me know if there's any other way I can try to help or if you just need to vent some more.

If I really liked the job, I would take video evidence of those who were slacking off.. That way when I was called into be fired, I would show them evidence of who was doing what, and why THEY should be fired instead of me!

I'd never work in a place like that, and if a place I already worked at later turned into that, I'd quit.

You wanna report them... and then you say "I really want to stay til one year since the job market rn is bad." ...
