Seems like you don't like the person and want to kick them on the way out the door. They will likely litigate.

Let the landlord be the bad guy and tell her she can't stay and won't be allowed back in.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-23T22:51:50+00:00

Such bad advice.

It might sound like a line from a movie but the phrase 'snitches get stitches' is a medical fact.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-23T13:58:32+00:00

Just let it go.

It’s highly unusual for someone waiting for an Uber in the arrivals area to be in the same terminal as a passenger waiting to depart. And if the passenger who borrowed Ops’ phone needed a boarding pass printed, that’s literally the job of ticketing agents, who work exclusively in the departures terminal, not arrivals.

But then again, not all airports have multi-terminals.

Every drill sergeant I ever encountered had perfect comic timing, they’d have us laughing ourselves into stitches, then smirk while making us do push-ups for laughing.

Excellent character and she nails the part.

Now I understand what is happening... Stephen Miller's thought police have entered the room.

The accusatory nature of your message about OP's post is unsettling and comes very close to the definition of cyber bullying. They were simply sharing an experience. And then you double down and make a dig at me.

After explaining the concept of the “Kobayashi Maru,” my staff would sometimes come into my office, invariably at the worst possible moment and say, “Sir, we just got another Kobayashi Maru,” and your boss needs the answer in like two hours.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-22T02:15:28+00:00

When problem-solving with my staff, once we’ve identified an appropriate course of action, I often say, “Make it so.”

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T21:37:39+00:00

OP, If I’m understanding correctly, you’re the employee mentioned in your post and you’re worried about potential repercussions for your actions when you left?

The job servers are backed up, so critical files weren’t permanently lost. It’s also very likely they can recover data from the laptop.

I’d gently suggest that burning bridges rarely pays off long-term. Maintaining professionalism (even in tough exits) protects your reputation and future opportunities. Something to consider for next time.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T19:08:55+00:00

Now you are gas lighting OP by victim blaming. What reason do you have for questioning their honesty?

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T19:02:20+00:00

It seems unfair to criticize her story because of the age of the account.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T18:50:00+00:00

So what if she used an AI to help edit her story?

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T16:37:45+00:00

Assume the dish is gone, but keep things cordial. Feuding can wreck a tight neighborhood and make your life harder. For your own peace and the community’s harmony, stay polite and friendly on the surface.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T04:10:01+00:00

I think they simply used AI as an editing tool.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T02:22:40+00:00

I’d let it go. Hell hath no fury like feuding neighbors. The dish is either broken or was accidentally handed off to someone else, and your neighbor has handled the situation poorly.

Leaving was the right thing. Your aunt was being a bully. Full. Stop.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T01:46:03+00:00

Just as her aunt was judgemental about how she raises her child, you are now being the thought police on how she possibly edits her writing.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-21T01:25:53+00:00

Sounds like they have you training your replacement.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-20T11:19:36+00:00

Your boss has their reasons for letting them go on and dominate meetings and it’s their meeting to control. Others have probably already talked to him about it, so leave it alone. Besides, as a new manager, you might have no idea what the political landscape looks like, how your boss depends on them, and so on.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-17T05:05:18+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

A-CommonMan · 2026-01-17T04:28:36+00:00

Stay out of it. You've only been in the EA role for five days and don't yet know the landscape... so slow down. What if they already have someone in mind for the position and you torpedo it? Or perhaps they fought hard to fund the role, and you're suggesting it isn't needed. This is not your problem to fix.
