Dear work colleagues, you know you could just ask me to change something small instead of telling the manager (hexbear.net)

Seriously it's often the tiniest little thing, like the margins are 2mm too small or a spreadsheet was filled in a certain method. I've had convos with teachers where I ask them "hey do you mind if I do it slightly differently", they go "OK", and then 10 minutes later a manager comes and asks me to do it the original way. Like fine, but why the fuck didn't the original teacher just ask me. I'm the most gentle and flexible person I know, I literally haven't had an loud argument at work since I before 2000. I'm not gonna have it out over this issue with you.

How the fuck is telling the manager not considered snitching with some people?

If you're new, it's an easy way for them to put themselves above you and feel more valuable to management. I've seen it at every job I've worked.

Classic shithead tactic in every day life as well. Put others down based on physical attributes to give the idea that something about their own features is superior
