Dear Co-Worker,

Thank you for pointing out to our boss that I did your job for you... When you were standing right there. I appreciate you showing them that I am capable of doing my job so well that I don't stop at the minimum amount of effort that you put in. Quite frankly, I was offended you, "rule follower," missed the Employee Conflict Resolution Chain Of Action page. You were supposed to come to ME first to talk the issue out and find a resolution which I happily would have done. However, I truly do not care that you complained because I love my bosses and know that they saw through your attempt to belittle me despite my abundant experience (6 years to be exact).

I am not the kind of person who just gives the minimally required effort at anything I do... It's 0 or 100 with me, nothing in between. So to the co-worker who bitched me out for doing my job and hers while she stood idly by with Dunkin in her hand and watching a needed correction happen right before her eyes. I don't understand how her job is to essentially turn herself in for not doing her simple job, funny right? You think I'd be the one complaining, but I was *surprise* doing my job while she was yet again ignoring her's.

That was my rant. And I just want to say: if you get called a "try-hard," "goody-goody," or anything else of the sort, YOU ARE A GOOD WORKER. You make the world go round while other people complain about how you did their job for them because you saw them not doing it. Your bosses value your often unthanked work. I am here to thank you and tell you the slack you pick up and the caliber your work is what allows our world to advance and evolve. No, you are not perfect and don't boast or be showy, quietly know you are doing great work and will one day be recognized for your hard work and dedication to rising above mediocrity in the workplace.

To wrap this up, it is okay that she bitched, I would turn myself in too if I didn't do the most basic parts of my job too... Oh wait, that's never me nor will it ever be. :) So cheers to you bitchy co-worker, I'll see you when my job is done well before yours is, without causing trouble. Sorry I just am a better worker than you.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sincerely,

The Hard-Worker
