<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, Katie and Josh in Morning Nick and.
<v Speaker 2>This messages come Jessa.
<v Speaker 3>Jessa says, I have an office S show coworker for you.
<v Speaker 2>I had to edit that S show coworker.
<v Speaker 3>Massive presentation coming up at work, big bosses, big pressure,
<v Speaker 3>the whole deal. And guess who asked me to quickly
<v Speaker 3>glance at her slide show before she presents it. The
<v Speaker 3>one coworker who absolutely gets under my skin like nobody else.
<v Speaker 3>She wrote in all capitals, She's the worst. She's dramatic, loud,
<v Speaker 3>always the victim. She's thrown me under the bus a
<v Speaker 3>couple of times, taking credit for my work, twisted conversations.
<v Speaker 3>She makes my blood pressure rise.
<v Speaker 2>So Jessa says, I looked at the slide show.
<v Speaker 3>It's a mess, wrong numbers, old data, stuff that flat
<v Speaker 3>out contradicts itself. If she presents it like this, she
<v Speaker 3>is going to bomb. Here's another layer. She's already kind
<v Speaker 3>of on thin ice with the company. There's been talk
<v Speaker 3>and if this goes badly, it could seriously push things
<v Speaker 3>over the edge, like she could get fired over it.
<v Speaker 3>So she writes, I'm torn, you guys. Part of me thinks,
<v Speaker 3>not my circus, not my monkeys, let her crash and burn.
<v Speaker 3>There's a petty part of me that would really enjoy
<v Speaker 3>watching Karma smash her in the face. She really hates
<v Speaker 3>his work, But is that really who I am? I'm
<v Speaker 3>not sure if I should sabotage someone by staying quiet.
<v Speaker 3>I know if I don't say anything and she tanks,
<v Speaker 3>I'll feel guilty. And then she wrote maybe ha haha.
<v Speaker 3>Do I speak up even though I hate her?
<v Speaker 2>So?
<v Speaker 3>Do I a be the bigger person, point out the
<v Speaker 3>mistakes and save her from herself? Or be stay quiet,
<v Speaker 3>protect my own piece and let whatever happens happen happens
<v Speaker 3>to the mean biznatch.
<v Speaker 2>What she said? How do you even spell that? B?
<v Speaker 2>I z nat? That's mean business?
<v Speaker 4>She really does not like this coworker.
<v Speaker 2>Am I?
<v Speaker 3>She wraps up by saying, am I obligated to help
<v Speaker 3>somebody who's made my work life miserable?
<v Speaker 2>Or is this just consequences doing their thing? What would
<v Speaker 2>you guys? Do love the show? Use this for your show?
<v Speaker 2>Wants to know segment? This is from Jessa.
<v Speaker 3>So there's the scenario. That's what's going on in the
<v Speaker 3>world of Jessa. If you'd like to sound off. Three
<v Speaker 3>oh three six nine one mix three oh three six
<v Speaker 3>nine one sixteen forty nine.
<v Speaker 2>She's got this coworker.
<v Speaker 3>She's mean, she's rude, dramatic, loud, always the victim, and
<v Speaker 3>she's submitting this slide show for presentation.
<v Speaker 2>Jessa looked over it, and there's some errors. Should she
<v Speaker 2>pointed out.
<v Speaker 4>Some bad ones?
<v Speaker 2>Too bad one since she might get fired.
<v Speaker 3>You know, I see where she's coming from with the
<v Speaker 3>be the bigger person and point out the mistakes.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, I know.
<v Speaker 5>Like I just think like there are some people I
<v Speaker 5>know specifically who will you know, they say they don't
<v Speaker 5>like somebody or they don't care for somebody, and then
<v Speaker 5>immediately when they're face to face with that person, the
<v Speaker 5>fake comes in right and they're super nice and whatever,
<v Speaker 5>Da da da, And there are people who can do that.
<v Speaker 5>I'm not one of those people. So I just feel
<v Speaker 5>like if this was me and I was in a
<v Speaker 5>situation where somebody I didn't like needed help, it would
<v Speaker 5>be weird for me to help them.
<v Speaker 2>I can't just feel.
<v Speaker 3>But you know, the little angel on your shoulders saying,
<v Speaker 3>just be the bigger person.
<v Speaker 4>Angel, I'm just kidding.
<v Speaker 2>Angel in the face, I just.
<v Speaker 4>Don't know if that's your job.
<v Speaker 2>Debbie's been hold the longest. Hi, Debbie, good morning, Good morning.
<v Speaker 2>So what do you think Jessa should do in this situation?
<v Speaker 6>Super super easy. She can just say, hey, Karen, I
<v Speaker 6>don't have time to go through your presentation frame by frame,
<v Speaker 6>double check your numbers, double check your work, and go
<v Speaker 6>for it.
<v Speaker 5>Hey.
<v Speaker 4>I like I love that you called her karens right.
<v Speaker 2>Apologies all the Karen's out there.
<v Speaker 4>It's funny.
<v Speaker 2>So you want her to burn.
<v Speaker 6>Well, he's not let her burn.
<v Speaker 1>Go for your presentation yourself.
<v Speaker 3>Ye see, but she's already done it. I mean, the
<v Speaker 3>cat's out of the bag. She's gone through the presentation.
<v Speaker 3>She says, it's a mess.
<v Speaker 2>So now it's going to be a guilt wacket. Now
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a guilt trip on Jessa.
<v Speaker 5>No, but I like that, Like how you said, make
<v Speaker 5>sure you tell her to double check it. But then
<v Speaker 5>after that it's no longer your responsibility. You're telling her
<v Speaker 5>to make sure your work's okay, right exactly?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you wash your hands of it.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I like that, you wash my hair.
<v Speaker 2>I'm still putting you under camp burn, So I take it.
<v Speaker 6>I'll take it.
<v Speaker 2>I like you Debbie, you have a great Tuesday. Thank
<v Speaker 2>you you too. Here is Amy Amy, good morning, Good morning.
<v Speaker 2>What should Jessa do?
<v Speaker 6>I think that she should point it out, but at
<v Speaker 6>the same time, but awful as it sounds like she's
<v Speaker 6>probably just going to disregard it anyway, so then she
<v Speaker 6>doesn't have to feel guilty. But having worked in HR
<v Speaker 6>for eight years, I can tell you that if there's
<v Speaker 6>a termination meeting, she will try to throw Jessa under
<v Speaker 6>the bus for not helping, and so this way she
<v Speaker 6>can cover her own skin.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a great point. This could come back to
<v Speaker 2>bite her if she doesn't point it out.
<v Speaker 4>I think about that.
<v Speaker 2>Or can you just play dumb and be like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know about all the numbers. I don't know
<v Speaker 2>what's going on.
<v Speaker 6>It depends on if it was sent via email or
<v Speaker 6>a person or what it was like. It really depends.
<v Speaker 6>But at the end of the day, if she can
<v Speaker 6>just say, you know, these are old numbers, this is whatever.
<v Speaker 1>But then, like the.
<v Speaker 6>Last caller said, just kind of wipe her hands and
<v Speaker 6>be like, this is the information I'm giving you, but
<v Speaker 6>I'm not gonna do your group project for you.
<v Speaker 5>Well, and Amy, I guess like so so coming from
<v Speaker 5>an HR's perspective, you're telling me that they would look
<v Speaker 5>at uh jes a little bit differently because she didn't
<v Speaker 5>say something like HR would look at it different.
<v Speaker 6>It depends on the company, but it could be seen
<v Speaker 6>as not there, or it depends on if she was
<v Speaker 6>involved at all. It just it might come back to
<v Speaker 6>bite her for any promotional opportunities for management leadership things
<v Speaker 6>like that if she wasn't willing to help her teammates.
<v Speaker 2>Straight crap. I hate that. If you got this jerk
<v Speaker 2>coworker and you don't want to help them and it
<v Speaker 2>comes back and bite you, I hate that. I'm against it.
<v Speaker 6>I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying the corporations I've worked
<v Speaker 6>for in the corporate policy that would be taken into
<v Speaker 6>consideration if it came up during an exit meeting.
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I get it.
<v Speaker 3>Do you feel like you've probably seen a lot of things?
<v Speaker 3>Is there just so much just coworker conflict constantly?
<v Speaker 2>Amy?
<v Speaker 6>Oh my gosh. Yes, That's why I don't do it
<v Speaker 6>anymore because I'm like this. Nope, Nope, you like it.
<v Speaker 3>I'm a no, You're like an adult babysitter essentially, and
<v Speaker 3>I am now as an executive assistant.
<v Speaker 6>But this way I get to plant parties and I
<v Speaker 6>don't at all better plausible deniability.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So what am I putting you under? Amy?
<v Speaker 3>I'm putting you under essentially tell her save save the
<v Speaker 3>coworker and don't let her burn.
<v Speaker 6>I'm saying, save her to save herself.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, So I got.
<v Speaker 3>You under camp save a soon all right, Amy, Thank you,
<v Speaker 3>you're very wise.
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate the phone call.

<v Speaker 2>Mean Hi, JESS i good morning.
<v Speaker 3>Girl, Okay so what's your thoughts On jessa in this
<v Speaker 3>pain in the butt?
<v Speaker 2>Coworker?
<v Speaker 8>SO i THINK i think that she needs to be.
<v Speaker 8>EXPOSED i think that sometimes you have to let people
<v Speaker 8>who act and behave that way in the workplace kind
<v Speaker 8>of fall on their. Sword SO i kind OF i
<v Speaker 8>like what the first girl, said, like, hey you need
<v Speaker 8>to check your numbers and fix your. Stuff that's that's good,
<v Speaker 8>enough because if she doesn't know what she's doing or
<v Speaker 8>she's kind of a. Fraud it's really going to expose.
<v Speaker 8>Her so that's my. Preference, expose expose them and then
<v Speaker 8>manage them out and let leadership take care of.
<v Speaker 2>It and wouldn't be funny if she actually brought a
<v Speaker 2>sword to work to fall.
<v Speaker 8>On maybe they, could maybe they can provide her one while.
<v Speaker 4>They would kind of take care of everything exactly.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly you can't, BURN.
<v Speaker 8>I am can't. Burn gets a toxicity out of the
<v Speaker 8>workplace so the real team players can work.
<v Speaker 6>Together, yes, yes, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah toxic out of.
<v Speaker 3>There that's, Right say goodbye, later toxic later later, Later,
<v Speaker 3>jess have a good good, Day thank you for.
<v Speaker 8>Calling thanks you guys, too by bye bye.
<v Speaker 3>Bye final count four to. One so the listeners have, Spoken.
<v Speaker 3>Jessa if you are, listening you gotta let her. Burn
<v Speaker 3>it's time to bring, this as you, said biznatch down.
<v Speaker 5>Well and, honestly we got another text from a CURRENT hr.
<v Speaker 5>Lady she wanted to remain, anonymous but she says let her.
<v Speaker 5>Burn it's not her responsibility to do another staff member's,
<v Speaker 5>job but she can provide her general feedback like format looks,
<v Speaker 5>good but not her job to be a crutch for another,
<v Speaker 5>employee and employee needs to be responsible for their own,
<v Speaker 5>performance so it's coming from a CURRENT hr.
<v Speaker 4>Person formal looks.
<v Speaker 2>God, There.
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty stellar, There so there you.
<v Speaker 3>Go thank you everybody for sounding off and letting this
<v Speaker 3>power coworker burn
