So once a year there is a bonus pool at around $10.000 which everyone can apply for if you think you have the arguments to convince the bosses.

So one of my coworkers applied but instead of just emailing the boss, she emailed everyone. This was an email mentioning how much better she was than most of the department, and then throwing a few coworkers under the bus, to make her look better.

It’s been a few years. She’s still there. She actually got the bonus. πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

That is one way to assert dominance.
