I started working at a job about 6 months ago and have been told from my co workers and boss that I am hard working and reliable. The minute one co worker complain and implies that I’m lazy to my boss, he takes her side without asking questions. He recently just ask me do I not know how to do the job correctly? This co worker she is my boss favorite so he let her get away with everything and people see it but cant really do anything. I just feel like shes targeting at me and I don’t know how to defend myself if shes the favorite. The thing is that I didnt even work the shift and I told her that but she just accuse me of leaving a mess for her to clean up so instead of listening to me she went to my boss and he didnt give me a chance to explain myself. I have been told to stand up for myself, but that something I havent done before. When a job get toxic, I just quit.

This is hard to read but I think finding a new job may be best. It sounds unfair and toxic.
Good luck.
Sorry English not my first language.
Before you quit, gather up people to your side. Maybe they can witness the difference between her and you. Then they can vouch for you to your boss.
Do you really want to keep this job? If the job isn’t something you really want to stay at, I would look for another job and only leave after you are hired somewhere else.

Then the best you can do is to ignore it and rise above it.
When you come from the side of truth you know in your heart you are right. F what others peploes drama is doing.
She sees you as competition, so you need to befriend her quickly. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Good luck.
I guess you could try writing a letter to your boss and explain that your co-worker blamed you for leaving a mess that you couldn’t have made because you weren’t at work at that time. You might want to keep a copy of your letter so you can refer to it later.

You might consider it. If she’s going to mistreat you, why should you do her the “favor” of helping her out of her situation?
Yeah she wanted to take a whole week off, but the week is also the week of my birthday and i just told my boss Im not taking her shifts and I will be having plans for my birthday. Now hes mad because she is his favorite and I agree before that I will work the shifts. This was before I realized how fake of a person she is.
It appears to me that you don’t have much to lose, so you might explain why you don’t want to take her shifts anymore.
You might want to start looking for another job…
