In defense of my coworker

taylweaverSo lots of people keep saying how horrible it was what my coworker did to me, and I just want to say, no it wasn't. She did what she was entitled to do. She had a choice of four caseloads, and did not want the one she has had for the past few years. So she chose one of the other three, and it happened to be mine. It happens.
And my other coworker, the one whose caseload is intertwined with my current one, noted that I had every right to take my friend's caseload in Chelsea. I pointed out that it was a friend, not just a coworker and she said, "oh, that's different." Or something like that. It's understood that people with more seniority can take caseloads that would otherwise go to people with less seniority.
And I also totally get why she did it. A commute of over an hour? It's not fun. Been there, done that. Half an hour? Not a problem. I will have to get used to having a commute in the first place, but not a problem.
And I really am excited about starting out fresh next year.
So please don't be angry at my coworker on my behalf. She did nothing wrong.
