'John threw you under the bus’: Lazy coworker leaves a novice colleague high and dry while he's on vacation, then faces the consequences with management upon return when everything falls apart

Being the newbie in the workplace is insanely stressful, but when your senior colleague (who's in charge of training you) leaves you with their clients for your first week on the job, the stress levels boil over beyond comprehension. This happened when the guy in our next story was onboarding for a new position…

Most employers would consider you a 'New Hire' until about a month or two with the company. You're still learning the dynamic of your role and the process of your position, so naturally, it would be foolish to assume that a newbie could handle the nuances of problematic troubleshooting without the guidance of a seasoned coworker. But when John, the training manager of the data analyst in our next story was planning his vacation, he failed to prepare his cover properly to handle the workload, expecting u/ryangosling-san to juggle the entire department in his absence without adequate instructions.

Read on for more details of how karma came back around after a new hire survives the most stressful first week ever recorded.
