Nobody enjoys seeing another person take credit for their work. Whether it’s a friend repeating the joke you just said louder so they get all the laughs or another student in your class copying answers from your test, it’s just not fair. So when one employee caught their colleague attempting to steal credit for their extensive report, they immediately shut the situation down. Below, you’ll find the full story that this employee recently shared on the Petty Revenge subreddit, as well as a conversation with the employee and some of the responses amused readers left.

    Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about three years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

    If you're interested - foo and bar are words used by programmers/coders, sometimes to generalise or hide the original code. It's the algebra of the coding world.

    One VP asked me to do a bit of research on an item, so I did it, sent out the slides and thought nothing of it. Then I get a call from the CEO, long story short, my findings became a major corporate initiative and would probably replace another as my research was concrete and the other department was more abstract and confusing. So this manager in the other department starts going around every office stating they were taking over my project (oh and she was the "pretty one"). They all knew she did this without permission, particularly when the CEO demanded I be the one to stay on this. She got chastised and a year later transferred to a new department....which was eliminated six months later.

    I can totally get behind this revenge but it was weird to say OP forgot her name because “all these hooker names sound the same”. That’s insulting a group of people just making a living for nothing, not appropriate.
