That's what happens when you try to nark someone out...

It is against the law in lots of places & would have left him exposed to a lawsuit

I bet you were the teacher's pet and the tattle-tale of the class. YDI Chump.

While I agree that your method was wrong in how you reported them OP, I sympathize since I deal with several co-workers on a daily basis who do not pull their own weight and it does directly affect my work. Thankfully my supervisors are taking care of it now and hopefully it will be resolved. To all those who seem to think "snitching" is bad and the OP should "mind their own business": You guys are assholes, plain and simple. You are probably the ones who dick around at work and get pissy when someone doesn't take your shit anymore and actually lets the higher ups know about it. When at work you should be WORKING, interesting concept I know. We have scheduled breaks for a reason. Search YT or read texts then please. When on company time, ******* do your job!

Grass.

Assuming the it dept is half decent they already know what he's doing and when.

That's what you get for snitchin

I completely understand your frustration OP, but going to that length to make your point was a bit overkill. If you'd previously reported the behavior through approved channels then you did your part and it's on management to handle it. If their behavior wasn't affecting your workload or you personally, then you really should have backed off after reporting it a few times. If it was affecting you then you could have gone to your manager and told them that you weren't going to pick up the slack for the coworker anymore and made HR aware of what was happening to protect you from potential retaliation.

Let me guess this happened at Subway?

Shouldn't have been a snitching
