Colleague Who Tactically Diverts Their Work to You

The Situation

You have a colleague who's really good at making their work your responsibility. They phrase it as 'Can you help me with this?' or 'You're so much better at this than me!' or 'I'm swamped, can you take this one?' It seems harmless at first. But it keeps happening. They're strategic - they make you feel good about helping while they quietly offload their work. And then, they use that completed work as their own contribution later.

Do you say yes again and accept their work to avoid conflict and seem helpful?

💡 Remember

These decision trees are based on research and common patterns. Real life is more complex. Use this as a guide to think about your choices, not as absolute predictions.
