The real issue is that she tried to turn a private agreement into a public debate. Work arrangements are between the employee and the person who actually supervises them. When a coworker starts auditing someone else’s schedule, it creates this weird little courtroom where the accused is expected to defend basic facts to someone with no authority. And it only happens because the coworker thinks the last name does the supervising.

The boss’s response matters more than anything she said. He clarified, he backed the arrangement, and he told her she has no say. That’s the clean line. The only move left is choosing whether to feed the behavior. Responding to her like she’s a decision maker teaches her that she is. Ignoring her and staying direct with the boss teaches her something else.
