Meet Our “Expert” - Need Help

Joined a new org in Feb, work’s been chill, no drama… until The Expert walked in. Designation: Expert Level (two ranks above me) Salary: ~4x mine 💰 Skills: Ctrl + C from me, Ctrl + V to his work

His superpower? Asking me questions so basic even ChatGPT would roll its eyes. Things that a 6-month fresher could answer in their sleep, he’ll ping me for them… every. single. time.

At first, I thought, “Okay, normal, let him settle in.” Months later? He’s still outsourcing his brain to me. And I’m here, doing my job + his job, all while he cashes an “Expert” paycheck.

Can’t even say NO because guilt, and now my mood swings could give Bollywood villains a run for their money.
