So my co-worker waited until 5 o'clock last Friday to give me a letter giving me a sob story about how he can't go to a supervisor because he can't afford to lose his job because he uses the money to support his mom and two daughters. He offered to volunteer at my church. Then he started talking about a time he saved my job many years ago when we were going through lay offs. Which, by the way, was a story that was 100% fabricated by lies and false information. The reason my job was spared had absolutely nothing to do with him and I confirmed that with a person who I knew had a lot to do with my job being spared. He even went on to say "I'm not telling you this for you to think you owe me one, but I'm hoping since you now know about this good deed I did for you so many years ago, you would be willing to keep this incident between you and me".

The fact that he was so unwilling to do the right thing and would even blatantly lie to try to make me feel obligated to keep my mouth shut....it made me so angry that I sent a text to my boss that night letting him know that we were going to have a meeting on Monday and first thing Monday, I went to my boss and told him everything. This guy has gotten in trouble so many times and is always able to weasel his way out of it. I seriously thought he'd do the right thing and the fact that he would try to lie to get out of it is just insulting.

So my boss found out and did some research about company policy and says that according to our company handbook, the only violation of policy he made was about how the company wants employees to treat each other. So my boss said he talked to him and that was it. He didn't get written up or anything! I didn't want him to get fired but I wanted SOMETHING to happen. How many last chances is this guy going to get?! So since my boss kind of let me down, I feel like its still unresolved. Scott's dad suggested I file an incident report. I was suppose to call about that yesterday but I never got around to it.

The whole thing is really fucking stupid.

Hopefully the embarrassment of having himself found out and reported to the boss will be enough to keep him away from you and your identity in the future. That's all you can really hope for or do in this situation.

Gah! :[
Well now you have lousy-person proof for the next time he really does screw up.

And the incident report still sounds like a good idea -- ASAP.

Isn't identity theft a crime punishable by law? I'm surprised your company is going to let that fly.
