A Redditor has shared a workplace struggle after facing repeated interruptions from a controlling coworker during presentations.
According to the Redditor (@Zorroisblack), the coworker often says “that’s wrong” in front of the audience, even when the information is correct.
"Undermine by coworker while presenting," the caption of the post reads.
The coworker also frequently follows up with comments like “let me explain that better” after the Redditor has already explained something.

According to the Redditor, the coworker’s behaviour feels very rude and is hard to handle.
"Today she did it, and I lost my cool a bit and gave her a dirty look," the Redditor adds.
The Redditor also revealed that such interruptions by her have happened before and have affected other colleagues as well, throwing off a co-presenter.
