What I’m about to say is very petty, but very true. I never gloated, in public, but I did at home – for quite some time. terrible, I know!
She was awful, berated people – talked behind everyone’s back. She often took credit for things she never even touched. A lot of things that I did, she took credit for – it all blew up in her face, during a meeting. She tried to do something that I normally did, looks wise, sure it looked identical, but she couldn’t get it to function. (a database) She had no idea what to do, or how to explain why should couldn’t get it to work. She was completely clueless. As she finally had to ask for my help, it registered, in everyone’s mind, that she was not doing the work. I was.
I accepted a transfer into another department and enjoyed the transfer. I was finally working with adults, not a petty child.
I never once said a word. She was let go, not too long after that event. I feel bad for the people that worked under her, she had been there for quite some time, she had made many people, very miserable.
