Slothful coworker demands employee’s bonus claiming that she deserves it more, gets 3-week suspension: ‘[She] is going around the office calling me “selfish” and “greedy”’

This employee secured a bonus for their performance from his employer, which he had worked tirelessly for over the last period. Meanwhile, his coworker had been wasting much of her time on their phone, turning in her work late, and just generally being a deadweight in the office. When the coworker learned the employee had received a bonus for his work, she began demanding that she share part of it with him, going on and on about how she deserved it more.

Now, this is obviously outrageous, and while it would be one thing if this coworker had also been working her “behind” off and, for some reason, was snubbed by management for her fair share of the rewards, even then, it would be a matter of securing her own bonus payout from the employer and not parting off pieces of her coworkers’. 

The employee returned with an update, sharing how he had gone to HR to lodge a complaint, earning his coworker a three-week suspension since she had seemingly been on thin ice already. 

See below the original thread that the employee shared with this online community, followed by the update thread from item #24 onwards.
