Nah, Marisa shows up half an hour late to work, then gets snarky when her manager gives her a very mild talking to. I would also be like Brice in the third panel on this occasion.
There is a time and a place for snarking, relieving the person who had to cover for you because you are late is not one of them.
Thing is, Brice is a known douchebag by now, and life happens to all of us(re: Marissa). If Brice had half a brain, he’d be glad Marissa was okay and likely didn’t have a major crisis, instead of chiding her. Your first line in conversations frames both parties’ attitudes toward each other, so I’m with Marissa on this one.
This is when what you say and what you think are two different things. You say “Thanks for covering for me” while you think “It’s about time you did some actual work!”
Hey, Brick. The one who goes against the grain is the jerk 99% of the time. In this situation, that’s you. Maybe you should work on your attitude.
