Almost anyone I think I can trust seems to be a piece of shit. I work in the telecommunications field. I work in IT, but as the company is small, I try to help in other positions. This is my first job ever, and it sucks that my first mentor threw me under the bus and almost got me fired.
I got this job around nine months ago. It's my first ever. I'm also terrified to fuck up cause I'm the only one on the IT team, so anything that happens to our system would instantly be my fault. Thankfully nothing bad ever happened aside from the fact that I would finish my work fast and since my job is 7 - 5 I have plenty of time to kill so I try in other fields my "mentor" would be in charge of certs such as osha certs, rigging certs etrc... as time passed I notice he was dropping more and more of his work on me and then dissapearing from the office while leaving me with all his work at first I just assume he was taking the extra time he got from me helping to go to our job sites and checking up on the crews in my eyes he was someone I really looked up to and would follow blindly I should have noticed earlier, but every time I would try to bring up the topic of where he went he would say he went out to train more of our guys or check up on job sites flowwoed by a barrage of compliments which i hate to admit but compliments are my weakness so i would just forget it. as time passed i would find myself not just helping but practically doing his job from submitting exam test score to keeping up with all our employees certs while also doing my position alone for no extra pay not so long i goit an emailtalking about how some of the test scores we submitted had identical writing and answers which obv shouldn't be the case there ask me for answers so i just fwd them to my mentor at the time , he then proceeded to get aggressive with them (safety lms) which he really shouldn't have i saw the emails we got a bit of a warning so i just ingored the drama after that my vp was having problems with my mentor because he had lie to our vp and we found out he was staying at his house while i did his job it sucked to find out about that because i used to talk to him all the time and he would tell me about how he was still working and his pay was lower than what he deserves and after that still decided to throw me under the bus as the email containing what i thought was a small penalties was actually affecting us hard since it was his side of the job and our vp was onto him he didn't approach me as if he was mad at me for not doing his job my vp still didn't know about the penalti we had received but once he found out my vp confronted him and he decided to say that it was my fault that we got penalised to this day I'm so glad my boss didn't just believe him and told me what he said that same day i went and collected all the evidence i could find and fwd it to my boss(vp) and now my mentor is getting fired but i feel like shit because of it i don't want anyone to get fired because of me i just wanted to defend myself none of this would have happened if i wasn't such an easy target to manipulate idk what to do now i feel like a piece of shit because i got him fired but i also feel like shit that my first "friend" manipulated me all this time to get free work .
