My team lead Dan told us to “document everything,” every meeting, conversation, and issue, to keep full transparency.
So I did exactly that. At first, I documented project updates and blockers like normal. But then I started adding everything he said in meetings, including his rants, insults, and bad takes. Stuff like:
- “Dan called Sarah’s question stupid.”
- “Dan dismissed John’s idea without explanation.”
- “Dan ranted about how kids these days don’t work hard.”
I quoted him word for word and added time stamps, just like he asked. The reports were shared company wide, including his manager and HR.
After a few weeks, Dan complained that I was making him look bad. I reminded him he told us to document everything.
Soon after, HR stepped in, and Dan was moved to a non lead role.
Moral: if you ask for everything documented, be ready to hear everything.
