I'm one of a group of three at work who all have the same job role. We have our own work streams but pull together on big projects, to share best practice bla bla. One of my colleagues is brilliant...the other, however, is totally and embarrassingly incompetent. Two of us have been cleaning up her messes, correcting her emails and misinformation for about two years. Totally ridiculous situation and management are aware but on it goes. But she is HIGHLY sensitive and kicks off and raises grievances at the smallest slight. We have to be very careful every time we give her feedback or correct something.
Anyway. A few months ago she was blabbering on in the department teams group - about 25 people. Answering someone's question in detail, in our area of specialty, lots of back and forth and she was totally incorrect in every sentence, telling people to take completely wrong actions.
Other colleague messages me privately 'OMG. Are you reading? What shall we do? Bit awkward!' I catch up then replied 'For goodness sake. She's making a total fool of herself. I don't understand how she can't know this by now. We'll have to say something though, can't let people do what she's saying! l'll message Bob now (big boss), will probably be better coming from him with all those people in there reading'.
Yeah. Sent it to the main department group, not privately back to my colleague. And our Teams has no edit or delete function.
It was fucking awful 😖 Yes, she raised a grievance. There were meetings and discussions. She actually came out of it much worse in the end because she totally blew her top, wanted my head on a block and would not accept an apology or let it go. But Christ I was mortified.
