To the tattletale at work, why must you find it so important to tell on mistakes everyone makes to the boss? You are not a supervisor, your title is the same as us. You must enjoy the power of feeling superior to everyone, even though it’s not in your job description.

Maybe do your job right instead of hoping no one notices your mistakes? Tattlers suck but you’re getting paid to do your job properly. Grow up, or quit the job and go back to mooching off your parents.
Blessed be the fruit.
Maybe your coworker is an “eye”. If the boss mentions your reported mistakes, own up to them right away, tell them how you will avoid future mistakes, let it go, and move on. Above all – nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
I’ll leave you with this:

Watch that rat for mistakes and report on them!!!
