‘Tina always acted like the simplest parts of the job were beneath her’: Dental office assistant Tina hides supplies to avoid work, pushing her coworker to stop covering for her, leading to Tina’s dramatic departure

Welcome to the workplace dodgeball championship, where the performance never ends and the audience is always left holding the mop. The gameplay is predictable: vanish the cleaning supplies and someone else will handle the sanitizing; stash the gloves and magically avoid the restocking duty. The genius lies not in working less, but in crafting alibis so convincing that your negligence masquerades as misfortune or inventory mishaps.

Workplaces are laboratories for the fine art of professional avoidance, where the most mundane duties become elaborate disappearing acts and storage areas double as crime scenes for missing supplies. In these environments, one skilled practitioner of strategic laziness can transform routine teamwork into an endless game of treasure hunt, leaving colleagues to clean up the chaos while maintaining the fiction that everything is business as usual.

Day after day, the supporting cast is quietly recruited into the conspiracy, covering gaps and preserving the illusion that operations are humming along without a hitch.
But every show must close. The instant someone withdraws their participation from the cover-up, the performance crumbles and the star is left scrambling without a script. The workplace, freed from its resident phantom, settles back into genuine productivity, and the only thing that truly vanishes is the daily parade of manufactured excuses.
