Did I do the right thing?

Hey guys got a situation.

I'm dealing with this female co-worker at work. shes been here for 6 months and initially we had feelings for each other.. we went out a couple of times months ago and at this point I still care about her but I don't want to be in a relationship with her because she has serious issues. So heres the deal. shes basically ghetto trash. she's totally screwng up her life in a big way. she knows it and wants to change but she doesn't want it bad enough and doesn't really know how to change. she has low self worth, low self esteem. and serious self destructive habits. she's very flakey, self centered, and has become a complete pain in the *** to work with.

ok so heres the straw that broke the camels back. tonight she shows up for work intoxicated... AGAIN... which isn't unusual but tonight I could tell right off the bat. I told another co-worker and we confronted her. she avoided the confrontation and the other co-worker just left. I tried to talk to her one on one telling her that showing up intoxicated is not cool, it needs to stop and that I care about her. she wasn't having any of that, got VERY defensive and started personally attacking me... well eventually my frustration got the better of me and I took out my anger on a solid wall.. no holes or damage cept for my hand. I'm now to the point where I'm sick of dealing with this person and CONSTANTLY protecting her job (I've gone to bat for her MANY times and I am the sole reason she still works here) anyway I tried calling my Boss... no awnser but I'm sure he will see that I tried to call and will eventually ask me whats up....

Did I do the right thing?

Sounds like you really have strong feeling for this girl but its possible she is just leading you on. I understand your situation and personally I would wipe my hands of her. No need to call the boss and tell on her. Just let her fail on her own.

She sounds like the type that if you play your cards right will end up with the house and car.

job is more important...you can ony do so much to try to help someone. dont bother anymore with her..concentrate on keeping your own job.

She sounds very messed up, stay clear of her specially if shes just willing to show up to work drunk multiple times.

x2 she's cutting her own throat, and will eventually solve your problem by getting fired.

I talked to my boss this morning to get my side of the story... I told them the truth and now I'm waiting for a phone call... possible termination for losing my temper and punching the wall

Let the boss know dude. Screw that chick (not literally, lord knows what STD you'll get).

The only person you need to look out for is yourself.

Dude, if you don't get fired, forget about her.....waste of your time and everyone's oxygen. She will fail on her own, don't be around for her to take you with her.

I'm still waiting to hear from my job to see what they are going to do..

showing up to work high with an I don't care attitude doesn't sit right with me.
