tldr: My coworker (M) and (B) heavily implied that I didn't deserve to getting a promotion after they were caught taking long breaks together.
M and B are very close so they usually get breaks together. Their breaks usually take up to 3 hours when it's supposed to be only 1 hour. I work in retail and it's just the 3 of us that looks after the store. So most of the time, it's only me alone that takes care of the store. I've been very frustrated about this so I told my manager about it 2 weeks ago. I didn't hear or see any consequences to their actions so i just let it be. Until today.
M and B went on their usual long break and I was busy running the store, I didn't even realize that the people from HR called the company phone. They were asking on why I was alone (they can see it through the cctv). They eventually called M and B and told them to get back to work. They suspected and asked if I snitched on them. (I mean they weren't wrong but i really have nothing to do with what had happened today)
Another backstory: M has been working for the company for a year and never got a promotion. B has been working there for a month and immediately got a promotion. I have been working there for 2 months and I recently got a promotion. I told B that I was receiving this promotion and she told me to not tell M about it because M might feel upset, which I agreed.
However, after they confronted me, B immediately told M that I was receiving a promotion. B then HEAVILY IMPLIED that i don't deserve the promotion because she saw that I made more mistakes than M. She referred back to the mistake when we first met when I got the price tag wrong for one of the items(which I immediately corrected), I keyed in the wrong price when a customer was paying (which I also immediately corrected), when I took a 30 MINUTE BREAK when we're stock checking (she said it was unprofessional of me for taking a break while they were busy, mind you after that they took a 3 hour break).
I'M FLABBERGASTED TBH. The AUDACITY-
I'm honestly so upset tbh because the audacity of them to gaslight me and bringing up small mistakes that I did (THAT I IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED) and use it to justify on why they think I don't deserve a promotion- I can't.
I told my manager to transfer me to a different branch because yeaa- no, I'm not tolerating this behaviour anymore.
I REALLY WANNA QUIT but I REALLY NEED THIS JOB. it pays very well but yeaa, hopefully the management does something about this.
