I ratted a co worker out coming to work drunk. normal i feel no guilt?

My job requires quite a bit of teamwork, and if one person slacks off everyone else has to make up for them. I'm only 18 working as a busboy, its not exactly a complicated job, but its pretty hard work on busy nights. Like the night this happened. Everyone at my work thought me and this kid were buddies. Truthfully I was just hoping he could replace the lazy guy that got fired and he would be a hard worker. But he half assed everything. There are two rooms to the restaurant. 2 busboys in each, 1 switching between to help both rooms out. I told him I'm doing that. He agreed and said ok. When he arrived at work he said he drank blue something. And I could already tell without him telling me, that something was off about him. Many times I saw him wandering around, I went to the other room and the guy in there said hes getting no help from our drunk co worker. So I stayed in there to make up for him. This guy gets mad kinda easily, and the alchohol made it worse. A waitress asked us to do something while we were cleaning a big table, and I was about to ask him which does he want to do, when we hear the waitress yell at us and say she has it. He then stormed out, interrupted my manager while she was busy, complaining about the waitress, and threatening to quit. Me and the other guy were really annoyed and fed up with him, so I told my manager he's drunk. That pretty much ruined his chances of him keeping the job. Later that night he said "She thinks I'm fucking drunk, I'm not. I havent been drinking for the past 6 hours." Our shift lasts 4, so he drank 2 hours before he came in. I wasnt sure what to say to such stupidity, so I just said "Yeah what the fuck man" and walked away. He doesnt even understand why he was fired, he was confused about it. I really felt no guilt telling my manager, and I still dont. Two of my coworkers said I should've just minded my own business and kept working. Should I feel bad?

  • It doesn't sound like he cared about his job anyway.

      After a while it kinda felt like he thought he could get easy money working there. Me and the other guy work our asses off while he talks 70% of the time 30% working.

  • Usually the whole team gets punished for one team members misdoings. That's how to keep people accountable for each other.

      If thats how they did things, I would've quit. I'm not getting in trouble because some guy is lazy or fucks up. I already have to make up for them.

          Never really planned on it honestly. I dont have that kind of discipline.

              Lol I'm chill at work and dont really bother anyone. I just do my job. But if you're a busboy and I have to make up from you slacking off..well yeah, I'm going to hate you. But I'm not the one they should worry about. The guy the drunk guy replaced would often get picked on for being so lazy. Anytime there was an arguement going on, my manager would side against him just cause he hates him. Manager slapped him on the back of the head. Told him no one likes him.
