Tired of her underperforming co-worker who only has the job due to her ‘contacts,’ she eventually makes a stand that costs the co-worker her job.
An Unpleasant Co-worker
The woman had a co-worker that she didn’t get along with. However, it wasn’t through any fault of her own; in fact, the entire office had issues with this very person and her entitled attitude.
A Corrupt Hire
Aside from her sense of superiority, what didn’t help matters was the fact that she’d gained her job through nothing more than personal connections with the CEO. It wasn’t a case of merit like the rest of them.
Underqualified for Role
That might have been acceptable had she been good at her job. Or even decent at her job! The truth of the matter was that she was hopeless at what she did and consistently made errors with her work.
Conning Co-workers
This same co-worker also had a history of taking credit for the work of her team members and frequently blaming others for her own mistakes. It made sense really; what a great way of making herself look competent!
A Specialist Knowledge
The woman’s role, however, was to manage trade shows. She would create extensive reports detailing the results of these events, usually spanning over fifteen pages. It was a lengthy process.
The Big Bosses
It was standard practice in the company for the Veeps (Vice Presidents), as they liked to be called, to request paper reports, which were hand-delivered to the staff. It was considered pretty old school, but they were Veeps. You didn’t say no to a Veep!
A Small Favor
On this particular day, the woman handed a copy of the report to her co-worker as they crossed paths in the corridor. She asked that she pass it on to the appropriate bodies with a message that the report was complete.
A False Claim
What she didn’t expect was for her co-worker to walk into the CEO’s office and present the report as her own creation. News spread about it quickly, and those who were aware of the false claim reported back to the woman.
Taking Credit
The report, ironically, focused on trade shows, a subject in which her co-worker had no involvement or expertise. She wondered how she might have attempted to pass it off as her own work when it wasn’t within her remit!
Seeking Revenge
Realizing what had just transpired, the woman decided to take revenge. It was a long time coming, and she’d seen everything at this stage. This was going to end for good!
A Swift Plan
She swiftly entered the CEO’s office and informed the co-worker that the report contained numerical errors. She offered to provide a revised version immediately!
Setting Them Straight
While doing so, the woman maintained eye contact with the CEO, conveying their message subtly but hopefully clearly! It was a case of, I’m the one that wrote this, not her!
A Rumbled Co-worker
The CEO clearly understood the message, and as she exited the room, he called after her, saying, “Would you please close the door as you leave?” She hoped that the plan had worked and that the co-worker was about to get in trouble!
Caught Red-handed
Five minutes later, the co-worker emerged from the CEO’s office, her face resembling a ripe tomato due to the awkward situation! The woman felt an instant sense of satisfaction.
An Embarrassing Encounter
Obviously, she couldn’t resist the temptation to inquire about her “tete-a-tete” with the CEO. Her co-worker simply threw her a filthy look and marched past her. She clearly wasn’t impressed at being rumbled.
The Problem Stops
Following that incident, the woman noticed that her co-worker stopped claiming other people’s work as her own. In fact, the outcome was even better than that!
Constant Errors
Shortly after, it seemed that the entire office had become aware of what she was really like, and they started to notice that she wasn’t capable of simple tasks without making mistakes. Instead, they left her to it.
A Smug Gesture
On one occasion, the co-worker was obviously stubborn enough to try and wing it with a particular task. The woman could see that she was having a few issues, so she took pleasure in asking her if she needed some help.
Lack of Gratitude
The co-worker refused her offer of help, stating that she was perfectly capable of such a trivial task. There was no ‘thank you’ or ‘appreciate the offer,’ but that was expected of someone like her.
Demoted at Last
Later that day, the CEO pulled the co-worker up on the vast number of errors that she’d made and said she should have asked for some clarity. The whole office heard, and the woman smiled to herself. Funnily enough, the co-worker wasn’t given any major tasks after that, and in time, she was demoted to a lesser position in a different office. What a huge shame, eh!
