She stole one of my commission-based clients when I wasn't looking.... (Found where she had scratched it out of my report & added it to hers)... Then she lied about it. She would buy "office supplies" with petty cash, then go return the items to get the refund & pocketed it. She became "the other woman" when a client's wife was out of town; Later ended up moving in with him. She started doing drugs. We took turns working weekends, and when it was her weekend, the office was locked up all day long, so clients would call me asking why we weren't open. She would take 3 hour lunch breaks, and was often unavailable for manager-specific approvals that clients needed. She never answered her phone when she was on call. Her boyfriend would hang out in the office, (which was also open to clients), and she'd be sitting in his lap. She lied alot. Oh! And....She hired another assistant who worked for 2 weeks, and then never paid her.
How I coped: She eventually got fired, and I was already prepping for a new job anyway since I was almost done getting my degree. 4951
