This is for anyone who’s ever helped out quietly, until someone decided to get loud about it. So I used to fix my supervisor’s reports, not officially. It was just one of those unspoken things. I’d notice a missing total, clean up the formatting, swap in the right chart, stuff like that. He’d never say thanks, but he stopped double checking, so I figured he noticed. Then one day, in front of the team, he says I’m really need to stick to what I was hired for.

Next week, the report goes out with duplicate charts and outdated data. the week after? someone emails asking if the numbers are flipped. I didn’t say a word. He’s been double checking his own stuff ever since.
