My co-worker
is a glutton for praise. She simply can't get enough of it. And whats worse she will put down her superiors and other co-workers to get it. This is something of a problem considering she, is in the job a wet week, and, to be brutally honest, has fuck all clue how to deal with troubled teens.

I've worked with everyone on the team for the past few years and every team meeting my co-worker will without fail embarrass herself unwittingly by either being over-enthusiastic or uncomprehending of simple concepts.

I decided to take advantage of her need for praise. With my managers knowledge I said in front of said co-worker that I simply had TOO MUCH paperwork to possibly get done in work and that, by-gum, I was taking it home with me to get done. On hearing this my co-worker panicked and stated she would do same. Next day she came in wrecked stating she had spent hours getting her paperwork done. When she asked how I had done I stated I wasn't paid to do work at home and that I had most of it done anyway.

Ha.
