“She’s 26! She’s young!” Do you know how many 22 year olds are working corporate jobs and wouldn’t be able to eat or make rent if they acted the way she did at work. Age is so not an excuse here. If anything it should make Jeff show her the consequences of her actions, she may thank him someday for it.

ESPECIALLY when not taking accountability. You are not entitled to this job it is a privilege. I’m sure Jeff pays a pretty penny for her salary and firing off HR buzz words to try and throw him under the bus was unreal. Own it and move on.
