'If you’re going to talk a big game... be sure you can play it': Assembly line worker insists he can do the job of two workers, coworker calls his bluff

If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk. If you can't, you're in for embarrassment… and possibly even worse outcomes than that. 

This assembly line worker had an interesting story to tell about what happened to them and his coworker. This coworker, Richard, kept stealing the credit for his work, which is a surefire way to lower that employee's morale. It can be so dispiriting to work for ages on something, only to realize that no one knows you actually did it. When you see the big bosses thanking someone else for that work, you want to shout at them that you did it, not them. But since that's frowned upon in polite society, you usually just grin and bear it. 

Still, if you claim that you can do the work of two people, you should hope that your bosses don't hear. Most companies are trying to stretch their dollars as far as they can go, so if you go around volunteering to do that… well, the consequences are all on you.

After you check out this person's story of professional-level revenge, read up on these workplace red flags, like when the hiring manager says, "Oh, people like to work late." (They certainly do not!)
