[X] Do it yourself while he's still stuck
He had his chance. He had his second chance. Arsehole has demonstrated that he will not give credit to anyone but himself. This needs to be fixed but I will be damned before I offer him help.
 
Correcting him outloud is the worst move, as it looks disrespectful, spiteful, and needlessly hostile from an outside perspective. I'm not too sure on which of the other two to go for, but quietly correcting doesn't seem like much of a problem. If he get's angry that's his fault, not ours. But doing it ourselves makes us look while being directly antagonistic to Mazlo. All of these options are going to piss him off really.
 
[X] Quietly send Mazlo a message alerting him to his mistake without embarrassing him

God Mazlo is an ass and he's most likely going to take this the wrong way, steal all the credit, then be incredibly smug/antagonistic about this in our face. But it's better than doing it ourselves and pissing him off afterwards. I'd rather survive while making as few enemies as possible. Sometimes that means working with an asshole.

God knows, at this point maybe we'll able to make him get kicked upstair somewhere else.

Mazlo is after glory, but we are simply better then him in this field. We've shown that before so lets reinforce it.

In terms of credit:
1) Loudly announce
2) Do it yourself
3) Tell him

In terms of making sure its done properly in case its important:
1) Do it yourself
2) Announce loudly
3) Message him

In terms of not pissing him off:
1) Message him
2) Do it yourself
3) Announce loudly

So depends on your priorities. Messaging him can potentially lead to him doubling down on his conclusion or recognizing his mistake and following our advice.
Consider his pride. Which is more likely?
 
[X] Do it yourself while he's still stuck

I do not want to help him save face, but actively embarrassing him would probably be a case of shitting where we eat.
 
[X] Tell him about his mistake out loud, drawing attention to it

I know a lot of you guys a happy with following the chain of command, but, fuck this guy.
 
[X] Quietly send Mazlo a message alerting him to his mistake without embarrassing him

Sigh this might end up costing us, but Mazlo has proven himself capable of doing his job in the past. So I'm going to trust him to be able to do it now and to listen to us because we had been right in the past.
 
Dropped a quotation mark at the end.



J6, presumably.

Interesting update. What does 'Do it yourself' mean in this context, decoding the message just to look at it yourself, or sending it up the chain of command?
Typos fixed!

That option is meant to represent deciphering it and then sending it up the chain of command. It will possibly get done faster, but this is, like, not your job even though you've got a lot of aptitude for it.
