Workplace Revenge

[Heraldeer]

A new colleague has been overheard sneaking and grassing on her colleagues to senior management (who themselves are sneaky).  Without revealing ones identification, anyone have any ideas how to either reveal that someone is aware what they are doing, or play an equally sneaky trick on them?  I know its sad, but its Friday......

I suggest you be extra nice to this person.... overly sugary nice.  Far nicer than you would be to any of your colleagues normally.

That will really get up his or her nose!

Set up an email account on Hotmail or something and send them a 'friendly' email telling them they are being watched...

annoy her with junk mail.... get her on EVERY available mailing list (including the ones of questionable virtues) - and get them sent to work..... get the local relgious cult to pay her a visit, get in to work early and move her desk to the carpark or clear her stuff on to someone else's desk....These are all annoying and if you do it right, she'll never suspect (especially while you're being her new best friend!!) :-)

Sorry to sound so boring... but you mention it is a new member of staff. Chances are she was very eager to please the management and may have been coerced into thinking this was part of the 'cuture' of the company and perfectly normal. We've all been guilty of having a moan about work (usually about the management!) so I don't think you shoud treat her too harshly.  Besides, you've still got to work with her.  Maybe the management are doing the whole 'divide and conquer' routine.  My old manager tried this with my colleague and I.  But we rumbled what was going on, and then she got made redundant!
