you are a coworker and have a conflict with another coworker who accuses you of being lazy, even though you started to work earlier than him. Is it your job to solve this problem? (linux.community)

I'm literally not a manager, I'm the newest employee here and this other coworker sits and talks to a female coworker that likes the attention for the first 50 minutes after clocking in. They don't work and nobody seems to care. Infuriating as it is, I think this is not my problem to solve.

I'm thinking about telling the manager about it, because this person has accused me of not being a team player, but the last time I went to her with a problem (about an aggressive coworker that kept throwing tantrums and things to the floor to then kick them), she wanted me to talk to this other guy. WTF am I supposed to tell him? don't act like a psychopath?

        It is your manager's job to keep everyone productive. It's not your job to solve, and it may or may not be useful to bring the issue to your manager; I would go with your gut on it.
If it were me, I would push back firmly if accused directly of not being a team player. It's a little hard to say how to navigate it or even whether to try, from afar, but that's my first reaction.
Sounds like maybe time for a new job

Option 3, final answer.

A coworker calls you lazy so you immediately leave without even trying to address it?
