Once got a mail asking for some report or whatever, I usually answer mails like that immediately because I worry that I will forget. So I dropped everything, found the report and mailed it off with a "Here you go!"

3 days later I get a snotty message about how I'm not giving her the reports she need, with my manager and my manager's manager CC'd.

Reply all baby and CC to her manager and her manager's manager - attaching my original response all of 5 minutes after she asked

A few minutes later she sends a "oh sorry didn't see that mail" but to me only - no bitch, we we're CC-ing everyone remember?

So I added everyone back in and said "not a problem we all make mistakes"

Got a little smiley response to me from my manager.

My wife worked with a person that did stuff like this except she really didn't have a lot of work except near year end so she would try to find mistakes in areas that really were not her responsibilities but would get everyone running in circles over the drama and make-work.

My wife had enough and got another job offer. Once they found out that she was leaving mostly because of this coworker, they offered my wife her position and temporarily laid off the offender (among others). She never came back when the other people returned.

I bet Rosie is riveted by your emails.

I hate the shotgun CC thing. Its like the person is too insecure to believe they can just email about a problem and expect their professional colleagues to cooperate without "pressure".

Well I am very professional. I do the best I can with the information I have at the time and I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and work when needed. So I'm not afraid of ever being "CC'd" because I trust my actions.

So I absolutely love it when somebody puts a shot across my bow with lots of CCs. I generally wouldn't handle problems this way, but, of course, now I have to "reply all" and tag anyone they thought to include (mwuhahah -evil laugh).

"Oh, you mean that thing that got totally screwed up with the customer? Yeah, we looked into it and turns out it was that thing we sent you instruction on how to handle it this other way. Don't worry, we already fixed it and here's another copy of the instructions".

I have a coworker who’s been around a year or two, and has learned one additional item from our basic new hire work, which is that she gets to do quality assurance on our new hire training classes. That slight level of elevation has just been a green light for her to shit talk new people every chance she gets, while simultaneously asking some rookie ass questions she should be well beyond. Like, your job is to help them get better. If you’re complaining about their lack of improvement, I see that as a failure on you, not the people in a training class.

Thankfully, she stopped coming to my cube to do it. I’ve always been pretty obvious in how much office drama annoys me.

We had a Rosie in the company. Not only will she CC the bosses (for 2 teams) the mistake she spots, but when the “mistakes” she calls out is not actually a mistake (which happens often), suddenly the CC bosses is gone 🙄.

Yeah, that is not going to happen, my co-workers will reply and CC the bosses back lol. 😂

I had an employee named Rosie that if I could clone, I'd be a successful evil unstoppable dictator with a belly full of lumpia.

I miss that Rosie even though it's been twenty years since she brightened my doorstep.

I'm only commenting because I don't want "Rosie" to be a Karen derivative.

I have a Rosie at my work too. She sends screen shots and points out your mistakes as if your mistake will derail everything and the company will end in ruin. However, if you find a mistake She made, "oh it's just a slip of the finger." 

Her future at the company is NOT rosy (ie), that’s for sure 🥀

If I were the supervisor, I’d be demanding to be left out of these emails.

You are right to cc everyone when you fix her mistakes otherwise she can accuse you of changing data without her knowledge. Always cya

I don't mind when people take issue with the quality of my work or point out my mistake, as long as you do it to my face first. If I refuse to take the appropriate steps to fix the issue then you can go to my manager. I hate people who go straight to a manager for the slightest issues not realizing they're putting other people's livelihood on the line when they do that. Or maybe that's why they're doing it.

Worked with a young woman like this. CC’d everyone in about anything that the Top Finance Manager, three levels up, didn’t need to know. It was so annoying.

But then we had this messenger chat thing, company wide. This dingbat would update her “status” to say “It’s so boring todaaaaaaaaayyyyy” or “I hate everyone”. Like it was MSN. We watched it change for a week or so before we said anything.

Dingbat got in trouble.

I had an colleague years ago that did that. Seemed to take pleasure in pointing out my mistakes while CC-ing the boss. It was my first job so naively I thought colleagues should look out for each other, like just send me a DM or something. He was eventually fired for something else and it was the best day of my life.

Your actions probably had Rosie crackling.

A lot of wasted thoughts

I’m surprised your manager didn’t stop this behaviour. One thing is reporting a serious issue and another is reporting typos and minor mistakes. I’d shut this down immediately once I saw a pattern.

Rosie doesn't sound like the kind of person that gives a shit.

This is petty, but like corporate petty. You didn’t invent the rule, you just followed the precedent she set. Love a long-game callback 😂

Heartwarming (NOT sarc)

The alternative is Beansie (given name Beansarelli) where you are a front and on the take, paying protection. Artie wasn't cut out for anything else.

I’m so tempted to copy and paste your post into Word, edit it with ‘Track Changes’ enabled, screenshot the results, and post it here, Cc’ed to other Reddits. 😁

She sounds unhappy, the poor dear.

Well, if people are supposed to do until others as they would have done until them, then Rosie wants it that way.

If you are only doing it for her and she find out she could prob have you up for bullying.

Just a thought: If your current supervisor doesn't know the backstory about why you're doing this, aren't you just making yourself look like a petty AH in your supervisor's eyes?

Bro my MMO brain was struggling to understand the title like yeah normally you want to use Crowd Control on the boss unless it's immune

Revenge is a dish best served cold. 😏
