• But here is the beauty of people like this, they always overplay the role. Soon she will contradict herself in an email thread or copy the wrong manager while trying to bury someone else’s blunder. Office gossip moves faster than quarterly revenue, and eventually everyone realizes the pattern. Until then, treat her like weather, document the chaos, stay indoors when it storms, and wait for management to notice she is the one bringing the noise. In every workplace ecosystem there is always one coworker who mistakes paranoia for professionalism. Thankfully HR loves receipts.
