However, my main problem is actually talking to your boss behind someone's back. That's really dishonest.
Really? In lieu of an HR representative(which most small businesses wouldn't have), the boss is the one to go to when you have a problem with another employee. I'm not going to waste my time and effort going to another employee and telling him he sucks; that's not my job, and I don't want any of my co-workers doing the same to me.
It's the manager's job to deal with that stuff, but me letting him know what's going on helps him out immensely. Real dishonesty would be seeing a lack of workplace ethics and not telling anyone about it. That's comparable to being an accomplice.
