[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to point out mistakes to her?[/quote]

Not OP, but there are plenty of work environments where you should point out colleagues mistakes, especially if they impact the quality of the work, which it sounds like they do. Not sure why that is hard to imagine. [/quote]

I guess so.  I'm an attorney, and unless my colleagues ask to workshop their cases, I don't think I would dream of pointing out their "mistakes" to them.  Everyone handles a case differently.  Everyone spots different issues in a case.  Rarely is there an issue of malpractice or malfeasance.  "Hey Fred, don't you think you should have filed a motion for summary judgment?"

I have worked with one colleague who loves to sort of "save the day" by pointing out how her role or addition on a case found some sort of last minute critical issues that no one else saw or discerned and alerted the client to her great save.   We all sort of roll our eyes.  I would be very interested to hear what OP is actually pointing out in terms of mistakes here.  Is there really added value?  Or is she doing some intensive nitpicking and/or second-guessing?  What in fact is being accomplished?[/quote]
