detrimental-dumbdumb

A person you work with who’s capacity for wisdom is so lacking that he or she costs the business more than the product of her work.
To get things done efficiently, avoid detrimental-dumbdumb as they make a mess of efficient work flow by taking conversations off into tangents, making irresponsible claims that halt projects until extra work is performed to prove them false, or forcing bottleneck approval processes.

Detriment of the Doubt

1) The opposite of "benefit of the doubt,"

Instead of someone assuming you have the best intentions and are a good person, or that you meant well, they instead assume the opposite; that is to say, they assume you meant them harm, you have bad intentions, are a bad person, and so on.

2) The lack of offering the benefit of the doubt.

3) assuming someone is guilty before proven innocent, instead of the other way around.
Ashley gave Johnny the detriment of the doubt when she assumed that he was an obsessed jerk rather than thinking that there was a misunderstanding on both sides due to both of their actions, which led him to believe he had hurt her and that she was better off without him, and led her to believe that he was showing his true colors after several years of good friendship. They were both wrong, and lost their friendship due to not communicating.
