Employee Gets Better Job, Incompetent Nepotism Colleague Can't Pick Up The Slack

People like to think that they are undervalued at work and that if they left their job, the whole operation would fall apart. People who know they are good at their job know that the whole operation would fall apart as soon as they left, and that's exactly what happened to Redditor u/boo-how in this tale posted to r/MaliciousCompliance. This Redditor worked with the owner of her company's mean-spirited daughter for years, and it seems obvious that the daughter in question had no business being in her position: she used her status as the daughter of the owner to take a light workload and then leave. OP even wrote that they would spend their time after the colleague left for the day fixing their earlier mistakes. So, when OP finally got a new and better-paying gig, their colleague didn't respond well at all.

Rather than step up to the plate during OP's last two weeks, the colleague started insulting OP behind their back and staying longer to bookkeep, suddenly insisting that OP was the reason their department was not as strong as it could be. According to the story, by the time this Redditor finally left the company, they had fully given up on helping out a rude colleague, allowing nepotism to spread its nasty wings and likely lose the business money and clients along the way.
