‘What? You don’t like me finally calling you guys out?’: Fed‑up employee calls out coworkers who keep dumping their work on her, firing back to expose their fake incompetence

Every office has a few people who treat work like a game of hot potato. The second something looks complicated, they toss it across the room and hope it lands on someone else's desk.

Usually, it's the person who actually knows what they're doing, which is exactly why they never stop being the target.

Look, I really like minding my own business. I will not concern myself with anyone’s mistreatment of their own tasks. But, and that is a massive, giant, and bold BUT, I will not concern myself with anyone’s effectiveness or lack thereof, as long as they stay incompetent in their own lane.
If you do as little as steer your laziness in my direction, if I as much as suspect your sloth is nearing my workload, it’s over, buddy, I’m not your guy, friend.

Because just ike in this story, it’s the oldest trick in the book. Weaponized incompetence at its finest. They’ll shrug, sigh dramatically, and insist they just don’t get it, even though they’ve been at the company since dial‑up internet. Then they’ll hit you with a compliment thinly disguised as manipulation, you’re just so good at this, or you’re the billing expert here, and suddenly their job becomes your job.
The best part is the double standard. The same people who claim something is too confusing for them magically become experts whenever you say you’re struggling. One moment they’re helpless, the next they’re condescending. It’s not about skill. It’s about who they can get to clean up after them.So when she finally snapped and tossed the comment right back, pointing out that billing is hard for them just like quoting is hard for her, it wasn’t impolite. It was fair. The professional equivalent of finally returning a serve after six months of being the office dumping ground. And of course, her coworker didn’t like it. Entitled people never do when someone stops cooperating with their performance.
That’s the thing about teamwork. It only works when everyone actually does the work. The second it turns into one person carrying everyone else, it stops being collaboration and starts looking like quiet exploitation. Sometimes the most professional thing you can do isn’t smiling through it, it’s giving the hot potato right back.
So I just fired back at one of my coworkers that constantly sends me stuff she “can’t figure out” and I think I got on her nerves.

$Those are not the easiest to quote up. I struggle with them myself." Coworker, overhearing my comment to new person, said "So you guys don't save the link to those in your favorites?" \I do.$

$But it's not finding the link. It's figuring out the actual quoting process. I am not good at it as I rarely do them.\ She said "They're not that complicated." (Not the first time a comment has been made like this.) So I finally had enough.$
