Employee maliciously complies with letting her overbearing manager take credit for all her work, by intentionally sending off manager's proofreading errors, prompting the client to question the manager’s credibility: 'She no longer wanted to proofread'

This employee is fed up with her manager taking credit for all the positive feedback she and her coworker receive at work, simply because the manager insists on proofreading every outgoing email. One day, after reviewing an email, the manager "corrects" something that was never wrong to begin with. The employee tries to raise the issue, but the manager dismisses her concerns and orders the email to be sent as is. Knowing the email now contains an obvious error, the employee sends it anyway, making sure the credit still goes exactly where the manager always demands it.

Let's just say... that would be the last time the manager was so eager to attach her name to someone else's work.
