I guess I’m the office narc because I ratted out a coworker of mine, but only after I gave him way too many chances to get his shit together.
Basically he was a lazy ass with terrible work ethic, and constantly made me look bad by completing work late and making careless mistakes that I would have to address. I was extremely direct with him and called him out anytime there was an issue even though he was my superior. Frustrated I ended up going to management, but they overlooked my complaints because my coworker was chummy with them, and he continued being a slacking POS.
At that point I took it upon myself to dig up dirt on my coworker, and by the time I was done I found out that he was regularly doing a variety of illegal things at work (I work with highly classified and confidential information) that would easily get him fired on the spot. I documented everything I found and confronted him with it, asking him if he would prefer me going to management with the information or would he like to do it himself. He broke down wretchedly sobbing because he knew he was in deep and would absolutely lose his job over this, and likely be brought up on criminal charges as well. He begged and pleaded with me not to rat him out, which I immediately said no and lashed out at him for all the extra work problems he had caused me over the last year. I actually had no intention of going forward with this, I just looking for a way to motivate him into doing his fucking job! My coworker was not a bad guy, just a bad worker. So I offered this deal; he would do his job as he was suppose to do, and if he messed up even once, then I would turn his ass in regardless of the circumstances.
The guy was perfect for all of three weeks, and then went back to his lazy ass ways. I ended up ratting him out for “other” things that ended not getting him fired, but reassigned and demoted. Everyone else in my office knew it was me that ratted on him, and I’ve been getting shit over it every since.
