Aitj for not correcting someone who underestimated me ??
At work a new colleague assumed I was less experienced than I actually am. They explained basic things to me in detail and simplified tasks when assigning work. I noticed it but did not correct them. It made my workload lighter and expectations lower.
Over time I completed tasks quickly and without stress. Eventually they realized my actual level when I handled something complex without guidance. They looked surprised and later said I should have clarified earlier so they could have used my skills properly.
I understand their point but I also benefited from the lower pressure while it lasted. AITJ for letting someone underestimate me for convenience?
