I work with a lady called Lyn who i thought i got on well with. We text each other outside of work and i've given her a lift home etc She's older than me so i sort of looked to her as a mother figure in a way.
I work in a care home and yesterday i was called into the managers office out of the blue. He said he had be told be "someone" that i wasn't happy in my job anymore and other such things. I denied i'd ever said that to anyone (i haven't) and he made some other accusations about me talking when i was supposed to be working. Again, he was told this by "someone". I told him that yes i do obviously speak to my co workers, just like everyone else does, but i get on with my work like i'm supposed to. He said he wasn't angry he just wanted to know if i was happy in my job. I said i was and that was that.
I work in the laundry with this lady who i thought was a friend. Sometimes another lady, let's call her Jane, will pick up any spare hours in there when either me or the lady i work with aren't there. For quite a few months people have been telling me that Jane is not happy in her job and wants mine. At first i thought this was just gossip but then i started to see signs that it might be true.
I spoke to the lady i work with (Lyn) and told her how upset i was about being pulled in the office when i felt like i'd done nothing wrong. She agreed and said that whoever it was that was bad mouthing me is pathetic and childish. For some reason, i had my suspensions about Lyn and Jane because they all of a sudden become very friendly.
Today, i know it was wrong, but Lyn left her phone out and when she wasn't there i checked her text messages. It turns out that she and Jane have been messaging each other about me for at least a month or so. Calling me names and reporting back to each other. Basically one will spy on me when the other has a day off then tell the other one what i'm doing. They were both bad mouthing me.
I spoke to our supervisor and she said that she will talk to the manager. She's very angry about what they did as well. I'm extremely hurt by what Lyn did because i've always been there for her. We've worked together for 3 years and i've worked for this company for 9 without any problems. It's only recently, since Jane has started working with us, that all this has happened. It's like she's poisened her against me because she wants my job.
I text Lyn tonight and told her i knew what she'd been doing and that i felt betrayed and hurt. She hasn't responded at all. I have the weekend off but on Monday i will have to face her and i have no idea what to do. How should i handle it? :
