'I think I'll give my notice early': Employee sabotages her insufferable coworker's PTO, quitting just 2 weeks before she leaves for vacation

Working for a small company means that there are very few employees to cover the basics of operations. You lean on each other when your fellow workers take PTO and it's common courtesy to make yourself overly available, pulling your coworker's slack when they're unable to do their work. For some, this business model works fantastically, fulfilling every CEO's "family" fantasy, but more often than not, small companies can harbor hostile cubicle conditions, making colleagues turn on each other. Even more so when you're forced to share a small space with an insufferable coworker, some employees can turn hostile when asked to fill in for their shortcomings in the workplace.
