So I have some work drama going on and I feel a little guilty about what happened but at the same time not really.

Short version: a girl I work with was going to get a small promotion but I voiced some concern about her brother-in-law becoming her lead if she were to get the promotion, because in the past he was and they abused the system, and then today we found out she wouldn't get the promotion because of the conflict of interest. Someone, I don't know who, said it started with me and my big mouth, so she's refusing to talk to me now.

Long version: I work in manufacturing and the department I work in has a "clean environment" where the product we sell is produced, and then we have a packaging area where we package up the products and then send the boxes to be shipped out. I work in quality, so I work both inside and outside, checking all processes to make sure it's all good. One of my coworkers, let's call her M, used to work inside the clean environment where her brother-in-law, G, is the lead. That was about 4 years ago, and when G was M's lead, he'd let her skip out on work on the weekdays, even though she was out of sick days. To make up the hours she'd miss, G would allow M to work on Saturdays (which we'd come in for overtime work) so he could put into the system that she worked 40 hours so that on paper HR/payroll wouldn't notice that M didn't come into work on an actual work day. We work in an incredibly huge corporation and M and G have different last names so it's not like the big bosses would take notice of this being a conflict of interest. So anyway, 4 years ago M decided to come work outside in packaging, for reasons unrelated to G being her brother-in-law. We have a different lead out in packaging, D, who is my lead. I've generally gotton along with all three of them. So last month, some positions opened up in the clean environment and instead of just working on the line the positions are for "operators", people who hold more responsibility by running the line, and M said she was interested in the position. Last week, I asked D if he would remain M's lead even though she was working inside, because G is her brother-in-law and in the past they had abused the system. D knew about their relationship but he forgot that if she went inside, G would be her lead again. He shrugged to me and said he'd talk to our supervisor about it. Our supervisor is kind of new so I don't know if he was aware that M's sister is married to G beforehand. So today I came into work and asked M a little question and she seemed really dismissive, so I felt something was off. I asked a coworker who tends to know all the dirt that goes on, and they told me that "someone told the supervisor about G and M being related" so they told her she'd have to remain out in packaging. I figured out quick that M found out that I had expressed concern, and that was why she wasn't getting the promotion. I felt bad, because if I wouldn't have opened my mouth M would have been able to become an operator, but at the same time, I feel like it's fucked up that G used to let M stay home twice as much as the rest of us. I mean, I didn't think M would lose the promotion. I just thought that D would remain her lead.

Should I feel bad or should I not?

Can you make that a bit more clear? I'll be honest, it's hard to follow with a huge chunk of text. :/

Just for future reference, it's way easier to read these sort of things if you put in fake names instead of letters.

I'm the anon above, and also true.

Really not trying to be snarky, I want to help but can't really follow.

aryt

Yeah, sorry OP if this is coming off as mean or anything.

OP: I'm sorry. I was rambling and I apologize for the confusion.

My co-worker Mork used to work under her brother-in-law, Gus. When she ran out of sick time, she'd call in and not come into work. To compensate for the loss of 8 hours Gus would let Mork come in on Saturdays so on paper it would look like she worked 40 hours, as if she came into to work Monday through Friday so HR/payroll wouldn't catch on that she actually hadn't come into work on, say for example, Tuesday.

A few years ago she moved to another area and Gus was no longer her lead. She is now working under Damien.

In Gus's area, a position opened up, a small promotion, and Mork expressed interest in it.

Last week, I asked Damien if Mork would still be filed under his group of employees (so he would review and finalize her clock in and clock out times, have access to adjust her vacation/sick time, approve her time off requests), even though she's going to be working in Gus's area. Damien knows that Mork and Gus are related, and he said he wasn't sure so he told me he'd talk to the supervisor about it, and I don't know if the supervisor was aware of their relation before Damien talked to him.

Today, the supervisor said that since Mork and Gus are related, she can't work under him so the promotion is no longer her's. I felt bad because I had expressed concern about Gus and Mork being related and having abused the system in the past. I didn't do it with any intention of her losing the promotion. But needless to say, she blames me and refuses to talk to me now.

Okay! Yeah, I wouldn't feel bad. It sounds like Mork has a history of taking advantage of familial situations - which is nepotism on Gus's part, so...

Plus, if Gus got caught, he could lose his job. So really it's for the best.

I wouldn't feel bad; after all she's the one who did something hinky, not you. Also, if she and bro-in-law were willing to game the system, why would they want to promote her? If she were promoted high enough, what other ways would she try and cheat the company? I can see that being the reason they denied her the promotion instead of letting her have a different lead because of the conflict of interest. Hopefully she'll stopped being pissed at you soon, but if she doesn't? I'd just keep being professional with her.

Don't feel bad. If she wanted the promotion, she should have shown up for work more.
