    Entitled coworker tries to steal employee's intern to sabotage an upcoming work project: 'I’m not going to lie down and let this happen'

    Not every pair of coworkers is meant to get along, but that doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to undermine one another.

    This corporate employee recounted the story of how a difficult coworker, "Katy," tried to sabotage her before a large upcoming project was due. In this small workplace environment made up of 15 employees and a few interns, the employee managed to get two interns assigned to her after Katy only expressed interest in having one intern shadowing her. 

    Over the years, the two coworkers constantly butted heads on various disagreements regarding office politics, power dynamics, and workplace responsibilities. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the interns were roped into this conflict as well.

    Katy's intern left the company, and suddenly, she didn't have someone she could boss around, nor did she have someone whose work she could take credit for in team meetings. Now, Katy was setting her sights on a new intern, and instead of convincing human resources to list a job posting online, she wanted to take one of the author's interns instead.
