Coworker claimed credit for fixing errors in the wrong spreadsheet
A colleague publicly criticized a teammate's warehouse budget work, only to reveal she had reviewed an early draft instead of the approved file.
In front of the room, a coworker publicly accused a teammate of entering the shipping estimate twice and ignoring her warning. She laughed before the teammate could finish responding. The pair were presenting a warehouse budget, and the coworker told the director she'd had to rescue everything before the meeting.
The claim for leadership
The coworker said this was why she deserved to lead the rollout, adding that her teammate couldn't handle basic arithmetic. The accused teammate asked which version she had fixed. The coworker replied it was the final one, obviously.
The mix-up revealed
The coworker had asked to review the spreadsheet, so the teammate had sent her an early draft. However, the approved version was already locked in the finance folder. The director opened that file in front of both employees.
There was no duplicate charge. The coworker had fixed the wrong spreadsheet.
