I never knew how to deal with them when I did work, other then try and avoid them as much as possible.<br />There were a few times I call bull shit on them. <br /><br />If she thinks her babies farts are so cute, put a fart cushion on her seat.

In all my years of working, I still haven't figured it out.<br /><br />NV's advice is good. You need to make a concerted effort to not let her get to you because in a way, this is her goal. She craves attention - good or bad. Ignoring her, remaining calm, will be best for you. It also could end up pushing her to the company's limits and they will finally fire her.<br /><br />You have my sympathy. I definitely feel you pain, I'm working with two of them right now.nitebyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-54691847688822973482011-02-17T18:44:22.892-07:002011-02-17T18:44:22.892-07:00it sucks when one person makes the whole work envi...it sucks when one person makes the whole work environment like that.<br /><br />I always wonder WHAT in their lives or life makes them that way?

Everything little thing just drives me crazier each day.

She makes everyone miserable here.<br /><br />@April- OMG..you have got to be kidding me! She counted the bathroom breaks?

I had one a few jobs ago. She was know in our office as, The Yenta.<br /><br />She was almost 70 years old and had no business working. Not because of her age, but because financially they were set. I swear she just worked so she could make our lives miserable. <br /><br />She was ALWAYS worried about what everyone else was doing. If you were on a personal call, your email account, a website, or doing anything that wasn't work, she would tell the supervisor. Never mind that we were clocked out on our lunch break and allowed to be doing those things. <br /><br />One week my IBS was acting up and I was in the bathroom more than usual. She actually COUNTED how many times I went to the bathroom and told my supervisor that I was using the bathroom excessively and that I should be written up. <br /><br />Yeah, those kind of people need to work in the same building together, away from the rest of us.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361464759647140359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-11325514520818386572011-02-17T12:40:56.435-07:002011-02-17T12:40:56.435-07:00You're getting worked up over nothing.

I&...I've seen the types and the likes of those. I've had to deal with a good share of people with attitudes and the thing is that now, I don't put up with anyone's crap. If I get an attitude from someone, I give a much worst attitude. Someone here I used to work with use to partake on that nonsense and in the end, part of the reason she quit was because of me. I had no qualms about telling her I was glad she was leaving and that I was influential enough for her to make her decision.<br /><br />Better work atmosphere around here now.PorkStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237764791827136434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-86156496359892709822011-02-17T11:15:57.229-07:002011-02-17T11:15:57.229-07:00ohhhh wow! do you hear you loud and clear!!!!

He would always be rude to me, as well as everyone else with his snotty tone and nasty comments. He thought that everyone hated him because he was gay. Umm..they knew he was gay when he was hired. It's that obvious. He just never understood the fact that it was his attitude that no one liked, not the fact that he was gay. He was nasty to the suppliers that we worked with and clients and it was not good for business. Finally he pissed off the wrong people and his position just happened to "not be needed" anymore. When in all reality they just gave his job to me so now I do both. But let me tell you the atmosphere here is so much more fun! I would much rather work in a less stress environment with twice as much work than a stressful environment with less work.The Random Blogettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189747977991245122noreply@blogger.com
