Working late again

The young guys run rampant over the boss’s. 1 guy is 22. He didn’t come to work for a week. Told the boss he was sick. He told his friends he didn’t want to work. They won’t fire him because we are short 30 workers. I guess a useless person is better than no worker. He whined to our boss that I never want to help him. He is a lazy kid that only wants to visit with other co workers. Not with me cause I tell him to get to work. I told the boss that he is lazy and visiting all the time and I’m not gonna help him. My boss said we have to work as a team. I told the boss that as far as I’m concerned he is not part holding up his end. Not just him though as the store is loaded with lazy ppl. Now the lazy kid has a week off cause if they don’t get their way they threaten to quit. I say let them quit. Kim
