Stabbed in the back by a coworker!!

That might make some sort of sense except that I don’t get paid for my breaks. I really need to find a new job…

Then I suggest that on your next break, tell the boss that you’re going to step out to the off-property garage to verify that the guns in your car are properly locked up.

The more of the following apply, the better this works:

  • The garage is on-property, or there is no garage.
  • You don’t own guns.
  • You don’t drive to work, and the boss knows it.

Jodi: Congratulations! What’s the new job going to be like?

I do have a review coming up in a couple weeks, and I think I will casually mention it to the boss. The fact that he has my polite reply and far superior presentation in front of him will help.

Your performance review? And you’re going to muddy it with some references to this other person and how much better you are? That just sounds sleazy.

Is it possible Asshole felt like they needed to step up and write the instructions since they heard them firsthand, and clearly worked late doing something they felt was their responsibility? Or even maybe thought they were taking the work off your list (a good thing)?

And once again we learn a fundamental Lesson of Life.

Coworkers are not your Friends.
But in the OP, we have;

Whizkid shows procedure to “Asshole”.
“Asshole” puts together bad presentation and shows to Singular1.
Singular1 decides to steal the thunder and makes a Big Dramatic Show out of producing a presentation.
“Asshole” decides to head off Singular1 at the pass and make a clean version of what he’s already done.

One wonders what Whizkid thinks about seeing two other people fighting over credit for his work.
