cc-ebomber

Machiavellian colleague who regularly sends out passive-aggressive emails, cc-ing everyone, whose sole purposes are to: take credit for other people’s work; cast aspersions on colleagues; and give their superiors the impression that they’re taking care of business. As you might expect, cc-ebombers are much-loved by ill-informed management, and much-despised by those who actually have to work with them.
Can't stand that guy. He's such a cc-ebomber.

off the charts
