There being a uber or deliveroo 5 minutes before I'm due to leave I hear it go off walked by it and clicked out not a chance

Trying to police eachothers' behaviour instead of addressing their own shortcomings. E.g. don't complain about someone leaving their mug out all the time when you leave visible tit in the toilet!
Moaning to me that other staff get more hours than they do but then refusing all overtime & extra shifts offered. 
Manager moaning about how tit Fridays are ha they are aren't they but why don't you bloody do something about it and get more staff in
Its like this where I work but on a Sunday, have the bare minimum of staff in & of course the manager isn't in that day so not his problem that we are running round like idiots missing breaks to try & meet deadlines.
We have bare minimum the busiest day 2 weeks before easter
It bugs me when people on my team who had been here longer than me like to blame things of people that are no longer working here rather than it being potentially someone who is still on my team who is at fault. That person isn’t here to defer themselves and it’s not ok to blame them just because you didn’t like them.
My colleague who told the manager something that I didn't staple the receipts to the scratchcard but the manager hasn't said anything so now I a bit paranoid he hasn't said anything to me or asked my side of anything so am I going to be I vestigated all because the stapler didn't work and I was beyond stressed and burst into tears
I was put on reductions for the last hour of my shift yesterday 1-2pm, now there is a WhatsApp msg saying things for today haven't been reduced but I was helping customers, went on the till & the list was huge so impossible to do anyway in the time I had, usually takes 2-3 hrs, I told my manager I didn't complete it all, but now I feel its my fault things weren't done.
The person on my team who I have moaned about previously for leaving early and going offline when WFH, may be getting his comeuppance. Except, it’s 4 years too late. I was told to turn around last week to see our TL taking a screenshot of his teams status as he was working from home that day and it was being pasted onto a word document as he was “away”.
Ha ha, they're definitely gathering evidence!
but what irritates me as they have known about this for ages! Why hasn’t the TL “noticed” it before? He’s been offline for 2 hours some afternoons, yet if me and another girl on my team are logged on 1 minute late, we get “hello hello??” Messages on teams. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, they are checking up on the wrong people.From what I saw, the TL hadn’t hovered over how long he was actually “away” when she took the snapshot, so it could have only been a few mins, which isn’t worth screenshotting.
I always find the standard response to troublesome staff is to wait for them to move on - HR and other managers drag their feet, kick the problem into the long grass and wait it out until the person moves on and becomes someone else's problem.

Because this is easier than addressing the problem
It's always the same, in my experience. The conscientious workers are the ones who get watched and pounced on. In some cases the 'managers' want to appear effective or something, and of course want to run a mile from any potential issues.

This is so true. I've had colleagues in the past with various problems (poor performance, being AWOL during the workday, being off sick all the time without the correct doctors notes, causing conflict with colleagues) and managers are too scared to tackle it.It's always the same, in my experience.

But the good staff get micro managed and hauled over the coals for little mistakes as the managers 'expect better' from them.
This person won’t leave, though. He has it too easy. He’s had his start time moved 3 times because he kept pushing back, he can leave the office hours early and no one addresses it, he’s openly told me he skives off rather than taking annual leave on our WFH days when the TL is on holiday. When he had his interview, our line manager suggested that their could be a chance for him to potentially be involved in something that he did in his previous job. He’s clung onto that despite nothing ever coming from it in the last 4 years. He mentioned it to our line manger when he had his appraisal a few months ago and it sounds like he’s now going to be given the opportunity.I always find the standard response to troublesome staff is to wait for them to move on - HR and other managers drag their feet, kick the problem into the long grass and wait it out until the person moves on and becomes someone else's problem.

Let’s reward the ones that take the piss the most with giving them what they want
Yep same at my workplace. We have some staff causing loads of problems but nothing gets done. It seems to be really hard to sack someone these days

This is happening at my current job and has happened in all my previous jobs. Not many bosses are prepared to deal with the flack of calling these people out.
I could count on one hand the good people managers I encountered over a long number of years. The other types seem to be far more common. Promoted beyond their abilities, and spending their time nitpicking those who are conscientious, while blatantly ignoring those who swing the lead.
I lost any shred of respect I ever might have had for managers of that ilk.
