Competitiveness can drive productivity and can even be fun.

But when a woman urged her coworkers to work harder to tackle accumulated tasks, they basically bullied her.

So after a year of carrying the team, she put in her notice and worked extra hard to raise the bar.

Read the story and see what happened.

3 months ago I decided to quit my job, as a parting gift I worked extra hard to raise our targets

This DOES NOT take place in the United States.

A 3-month-long notice is normal and regulated by labour law.

Long story short, I’ve been transferred to a team with bad statistics, bad workflow, attitude… bad everything.

It came to the point that when I said to a colleague “please get back to work, there’s backlog,” it blew into a fight of how I’m a princess who thinks I’m better than the rest.

That’s the worst. They’re being unhelpful while making her feel bad for being productive.

I had trouble blending in with this team. I work and I don’t mind it. I hate nagging and complaining.

Don’t like your job? Ok, cool that you let me know, but you’re in here at your own wish.

Besides, one time is enough.

She has a totally different mindset, but it never rubbed off on them.

After a year and a half of arguments, attempts to tell HR how I ruined the team (for making them work) I left my notice at my manager’s desk.

For the last three months of my notice, I’ve been working extremely hard, giving my 150%.

Things changed.

Our higher-ups raised monthly targets three times already and will do it once again. But this time they will not achieve them.

They have never achieved them before I came.

Petty? Very much.

Do I care? No.

For everything they’ve done to me, they deserve it.

People aged 25-40 acting like a bunch of lazy high school bullies.

Now they’re going to have to follow her lead anyway.

Let’s see what Reddit has to say about this.

Oh, yes.

A reader shares their thoughts.

Another mischievous overachiever.

Chaos.

Another reader chimes in.

Someone shares a similar story.

They will be exposed as soon as she leaves.

They may realize just how much she achieved daily and how they should have listened to her.
