My annoying, lazy coworker is constantly trying to force me to do his job for him.

0:04.8

And after dealing with this for long enough, I decided to get some revenge.

0:08.6

By sabotaging a project he put in my hands, resulting in him not only taking the full blame

0:13.8

for this project being messed up, but also by him being punished with temporary leave without

0:18.2

any kind of pay.

0:19.2

And I've honestly never been more satisfied

0:21.0

to get back at my slack or co-worker in my life. Here's what happened. So I work in an office with a guy

0:26.7

that I will call Seth for the sake of the story. Seth is that coworker that everybody knows. He's lazy,

0:32.4

always passing his work onto somebody else, and somehow always getting away with it. He will

0:37.0

0:57.3

I complained to my boss a couple of times, but somehow Seth always managed to weasel his way out of trouble.

1:03.0

The final straw came when he passed off a major report that was due to a client in two days and dumped it on me at the last minute.

1:10.2

One day I casually asked him if he was good

1:12.2

with Excel and he admitted that he didn't know much about it. So I thought to myself, okay, this is perfect.

1:17.8

So the next time Seth tried to dump a bunch of spreadsheets on me to organize for his next report,

1:22.8

I decided to agree. But this time, I embedded a series of hidden formulas into the documents.

1:28.3

Now these formulas didn't do anything important, just enough to mess with the numbers if

1:32.3

someone didn't know how to check for hidden cells.
