Narrative:
Mr X and I were working lube cards on aircraft X. The jackscrew got lube and was an inspection buy-off. Mr X said the lube was good on elevator tab and stabilizer that the plane is over lubed and he said it didn't have to be done. I immediately got off man lift and walked away from the job and I went to mr Y and told him what happened. I asked mr Y if I could stay in other hangar until mr X stamped off job cards. I felt bad and I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to confront management and mr X; that's why I talked to mr Y; a lead. I also reported to the supervisor. He talked to me and told me to talk to the manager; which I did. I talked to the supervisor to let him know what happened. Supplemental information from acn 683625: that night was assigned to complete the daily check of the aircraft and job cards. Lube l-hand and r-hand thrust reverser links; and temperature tape indicator check on the #1 and #2 engines. I also assisted the other 2 mechanics that were working the aircraft (mr X and mr Y) that were working jackscrewing and tail lube. I assisted with moving the lift truck platform to repos around the aircraft tail that night; and work the other job cards assigned to me. I assisted in closing panel on the tail. I think only 1 time that I was up on the lift truck platform. The other 2 mechanics were up and down on the lift truck for repos at the truck.
