im having this real trouble with nasty female co-workers, who damaged the company car when i was in it, by hitting a railing in a multi-storey car park they shouldnt have been in.
i thought they were telling the maangers the truth and when i heard them how they were going to lie about it and say they parked it in a car park, came back and found it like that. i told the manager the truth.
the two female co-workers have been pals for yrs and are still sticking to their pathetic story, surely my manager cant believe them?
how have they got a leg to stand on, what will happen next? as the car is to be returned to a hire company will there not need to be a full investigation for insurance purposes, cctv evidence checked out, technical evidence?
i then phoned the manager (male) and send him my statement via email. i also told him how they were both bad mouthing him personally and the other manager which they were – making nasty comments. and told them exactly what they had said about them.
what should i do?
You have done what you should do. You always need to use caution with reporting co-workers miss deeds. If something like this happens in the future I would try to report it anonymously or tell the manager you do not want to be identified because it can create this kind of conflict. You can create a hostile work environment and they can try to get you as these have. Hopefully honesty will win in the end.

I think you did the right thing by telling the truth but you crossed the line when you discussed the bad mouthing of the manager that was not your place. I think you are scared also if the girls mess with you report them to the cops.
