‘I took no part in cleaning it up’: Boss takes employee off project, employee watches project go down in flames
Why is it so common for bosses to feel threatened by their competent employees? A competent employee means the whole team's work is stronger. A competent employee means you don't have to monitor their output every second of every day because you can count on them to get their work done and to get it done well. A competent employee does not mean that you should feel the need to take them off certain big projects because you are worried that their competent work will make your output seem incompetent.
But alas, so many managers and supervisors suffer from the same ego complex that this Redditor's new boss suffered from at work. Not only was OP taken off a big project in the name of giving OP a so-called "break," but also as OP expected, the project went downhill really fast. In fact, customers began taking their business elsewhere and OP's boss had to explain herself to the business owner. This is where following your insecurities will take you, folks!
