    At any given moment, an ambitious snake of a coworker will ask you if you can just do the job youre currently engaged in for them please.

    Its specifically your job, and you were in the middle of it, but now you’re doing it under the direct instruction of this lazy fucker. You can say no, look petty and aggressive and he’ll get chosen for promotion over you. Or of course you can do it, and management will applaud his initiative and he’ll get chosen for promotion over you.

    Brace yourselves, itll happen to you.
