TIFU by insulting my coworker for wanting praise.
Myself and a bunch of my other coworkers were talking after the end of the shift this morning, particularly about a bunch of extra tasks that we'd been assigned. One of the new girls on my team, Lisa, did almost all of them because she finished the rest of her work before we did.
She's always trying to work too hard, getting too much done and generally just trying to over achieve. It really makes the rest of us look worse in comparison, and she's also always asking the supervisor for more work, trying to take other peoples work, or do side training or whatever. She's like the office version of a pick-me girl.
Well today the supervisor bought her a coffee for it at the end of the day and we were giving her a little bit of flack for it. She wasn't upset, she laughed with most of it so it's not like we were actually being mean or anything.
Except Lisa said at one point, "Everything I do is in the hopes that someone will pat me on the head and tell me 'good job'." Like she's a dog or something.
At which point I said, "Wow, that's kind of pathetic."
And the whole mood shifted. Even though everyone else had also just been joking that she was working too hard and trying to much too! It wasn't just me!
Well Lisa stopped talking entirely and someone else started talking about what we were going to do for the weekend.
Normally a bunch of us go out for breakfast or something at the end of the week, or at least a few people will hang out and game on the weekends, but when I brought it up no one was very receptive and kind of just brushed me off. But I saw someone post on Instagram that almost the whole team was out for breakfast with Lisa, it was just me that was left out.
TL:DR I took a joke too far and now I think most of my coworkers know about it.
