Everyone on here is probably aware of the notorious Brown Noser and the fact that his brown nosing and acting better than everyone has created a Bizzaro Workplace of sorts, where he is the hero and people like me are the zeros.
Until the night that the awesome weekend shift lead subbed for our shift lead so she could have off.
She had already been hearing tales about the notorious Brown Noser from one of her coworker friends, myself, and my male companion.
So that very night, while he was acting all super important and trying to tell someone how to do their job (something that our lead either doesn't notice, or doesn't care about), she walks up to him and says that we are too short staffed to be leaving machines sit idle just to stand by and watch other people work. She told him that he needed to get back to his machine.
He got a little snarky and asked "So....after I'm done working with Bill, right?"
And she of course replied, "Nooo.....Bill knows how to do his job just fine. If he has any questions, he knows to ask."
And apparently, Brown Noser got a very hurt look on his face and was generally quiet the rest of the shift.
I don't know how long this more humble attitude will last, but I'm glad SOMEONE with some sort of power finally knocked him down a peg or two. It needed to be done. He does that sort of thing all the time, and it's just to score brownie points with our lead or the boss. He doesn't care to actually help someone so that they know what to do or that it makes him feel good, the way a normal person feels good about themselves helping others. It makes him feel superior and better than everyone, and the more it's been ignored or laissez-faired, the worse it had been getting.
