A café worker says they covered a colleague’s shifts for four months after the colleague allegedly cited family emergencies and illness, according to a post shared on Reddit. The worker, who posts under the username u/ExplorerExpress257, said the arrangement changed after they happened to run into the coworker at a mall on a day she had called in over a “family situation.”
According to the post, shared on the subreddit r/AmITheJerk, the coworker would frequently text asking for shift coverage, citing serious reasons. The OP said they agreed each time because they believed the coworker was going through a difficult period and worked at what they described as a fairly busy café.
