    r/pettyrevenge. Posted by u/Royal_Army_Of_Oz 8 hours ago Leave me to do all the work and then stand by and comment? I used to work for a small delivery company and I had to deal with the organising of the delivery runs

    It was a time based operation and I was constantly up against it We had gotten a new system that only I was trained up to use at the time and it took me a while to get everything sorted This girl had went for the same position as me but obviously never got it

    When the delivery runs were being printed she offered to check over them but any slight mistake, I mean even a typo, was loudly broadcast to the whole office. "Another mistake!". Her boyfriend worked there also and the two of them would laugh among themselves. It was all brought on from petty jealousy, she had been there longer but I got the promotion and she didn't like that

    Now, I know how hard I had to work in order to keep on top of things but she didn't. I would spend any free minute doing prep work because if you started a new day without doing any you were going to fall behind and in the transport industry this can lead to losing contracts over late deliveries

    I had a week's holiday due and she was to cover my work. She was making it seem like it was no big deal and she would breeze through it. So I offered no help and instead planned my petty revenge

    I left work on the Friday and told my work mate, who was and still is a good friend of mine, that I had done no prep whatsoever, this girl would have to come in and start afresh

    My friend called me on the Friday of my annual leave laughing, apparently my colleague had to get her boyfriend over to help her and the both of them were stressing all day and not getting the work finished until 22:00 every day. Not good at all for a small transport company

    Monday morning came and I was called into the Managing Director's office, it was a small company and his office was down the hall. I didn't know what to expect and was getting my self prepped for defending myself

    He looked over at me and said 'I owe you an apology, I had no idea the amount of work that was involved!" After our chat, I congenially asked my colleague how she got on in my absence and her face was priceless. Petty? Yes Worth It? Definitely

    blondeheartedgoddess. 7 hr. ago edited 6 hr. ago I'm sure the girl knew that OP always did prep work the day before, but thought she was smarter than OP and it would be easy, so she wasnt going to "waste" her valuable time doing the same. She didn't ask for any pointers or advice, or even things to look out for, like a hot sheet of issues. If she had, I'm reasonably sure that OP MIGHT have walked her through it on that Friday at least. Because she thought she was smarter than OP and didn't need

    CanAhJustSay 5 hr. ago What a refreshing boss. An apology and acknowledgement of your workload? Practically unheard of. I got moved into a different area at work and the person who picked up part of my previous work got overwhelmed immediately and that work then got split between two people. I was not a happy bunny, having worked my of in all my free time while asking for help...

    Faux-Foe 7 hr. ago So a person that was deemed not good enough for a specific position had to cover for said position while the job holder was on vacation? Am I reading that right?
