Around the Office

[Faith]

Does anyone else get tired of fake and hypocrite employees that work in your office? I'm not an easily angered person but this is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[Midtowner]

Please post their names and phone numbers. Whether they are fake and hypocritical is something that we must judge for ourselves.

-- or at least post some fun stories.

Lol! I guess I am just getting tired of working around people like this. Most of them I have worked with for 4 to 6 years now. There is one employee who gets here 2 hours before anyone else and likes to constantly brag about it and give everyone else a hard time by saying we have "banker hours". Well IMO, I don't care if this person gets here 2 hours before me their children are grown and they have the ability to do so. Besides that this particular person just sits around and talks all day to other employees and hardly works.

The other person is overly happy all the time. To the point that it is completely fake and everyone can see it. Its the type of person that will greet you with a huge smile and say really loud, " Hi how are you on this beautiful day, I am absolutely perfect." "Everything's perfect in my life".... yeah right.. I know better... I'm not a pesimistic person but I have known this person for many years and I don't see why they feel the need to paint a perfect life to everyone else. This person also likes to brag about being a Christian and then I will see them cussing, looking up or talking about porn, hearing stories about them being drunk.. etc. I know everyone sins but why proclaim to be a "Christian" if your life isn't leading and example to others.

Another person in my office likes to give me a hard time for missing work when my children are sick. This makes me very mad because I get my work completed on time and with the highest regards to quality. This person gives me a hard-time but yet they sit here and talk all day long as well and watch DVD's on their computer.....


I wonder what they all think about me... Guess I better get back to work!

[Midtowner]

Set their cubicles/desks on fire.

That should take them down a few notches.

I just get tired of the people that do nothing but complain about being there all day. Sure I would rather be home myself, but at least I have a job. I have a guy right now complaining while I am typing this, and it is getting on my nerve. I just told him to go home.

[MadMonk]

okcgoddess, I think you work in my office. It sounds all too familiar.

I can sympathize with you. I work in an office with 8 women, and I hear everything. Whether I want to hear it or not, they tell me. I can tell you when they are cramping, when they are having female problems (I get details from them), and how their sex life is/isn't.

Ok, here it comes from both barrells.

There is a 21 year old single, blonde, female that is rather attractive (and she knows it), and she sends me all of these "Christian" e-mails, tells me where she attends church, and then cusses like a sailor. She is even dating the youth minister from her church. She is a decent worker (phone clerk), although she does complain about half of the calls that she receives.

Then there is the 35ish year old female that is married (for the third time), and between her and her third husband, they have 6 kids. She claims to be a Christian also, however, I have heard here countless time cussing her kids out on the phone. Yeah, it makes me sick. She is also a clerk and she works well, however, her voice tone on the phone comes over as having a bad attitude.

There is also "big Bertha" as I like to refer to her. She is a loud, obnoxious, dispatcher. Her mom works in the same building for our superintendent, so they see each other all the time. Her mom is suppose to keep information she receives confidential, however, she tells her daughter, and it gets repeated everywhere. She is very nosey around everyone. She always wants to know what is going on so that she can spread some gossip. She laughs very loud, and when you try to get her to quiet down, she tells you off. She is in her upper 20's and is not married ( I know why, too)

Then there is Diana, our goof off queen. She is a single mother and grandmother(middle 30's) and she works harder trying to get out of work than she does when she is actually working. She is a phone-a-holic. She is on the phone constantly making personal phone calls. She doesn't get her work done, and she spends her time goofing off and visiting with her friends. The boss always looks away, so she gets by with everything.

Our office is like the reality show "Big Brother." They are always stabbing each other in the back and lying to each other. I guess that's why I don't watch Big Brother, because it reminds me of my co-workers.

Yes, if they are going to call themselves Christians, then they need to lead by example by not cussing or looking at porn. Too many people throw the "Christian" word around the office like it doesn't mean anything. To them it probably doesn't...to me, it means a great deal.

Keith, I hope none of your co-workers visit this board. YIKES!

That is exactly what I was thinking! I'm pretty confidant none of my co-workers will. But who knows?

She can get fired if she is violating the confidentailty of others. You should check into and see if that can be done, and if so make subtle hints, that could get fired for breaking that. And if she or any are bullying or imtimadating they can get in trouble for that too. I have quite a few in my job that are annoying.

One little runt that acts stupid and dumb to get attention and they give it to him.
Of course that work harder at not working then if they worked hard to get a job done would be better, and they get away with every and any thing.
One that thinks his crap don't stink and he is all that.
A boss that is a exmilitary sarg that is a complete blanky blank, and nobody can stand to be around him he throws his athourity around.
The list goes on, people like this are everywhere and at every job.

[sweetdaisy]

I'm pretty surprised by the lack of this stuff in my current office place. Usually, the places I work are filled with icky, annoying folks, but I haven't realy encountered that too much in my current job. Of course, much of that could be because I haven't really allowed myself to get very personal with anyone...I just stay in my office and work.

I can sympathize with you all though. It's so frustrating when you look around at some folks and can't believe they're still employed while they continually waste time throughout the day.

Perhaps you should do as Midtowner suggested and set their desks on fire. Hee hee! That still makes me giggle.

[Keith]

Keith, I hope none of your co-workers visit this board. YIKES!

I'll never have to worry about that. I don't share too much with them about my hobbies or personal life, so they have no idea what I do on my free time. I sometimes wish I had a closet where I could just shut a door, but they don't make doors for cubicles.

When you have a phone conversation in our office, everyone can hear...the acoustics are great (unfortunately). There is actually only one lady in my office that I talk to about my personal life...but she is like me....she doesn't share with anyone else in the office either.

This is what I would like to do to some of my co-workers...egg 'em



And....this is how I feel sometimes.....

[Keith]

Hey, sweetdaisy, is this what your desk looks like?

The first person is a nut. What sane person would show up to work 2 hours early? Has to be something wrong with that person.

The second person must have bipolar disorder and in their manic phase. Their antidepressant is keeping them flipped in that phase.

The third person needs a reality check. If they ever miss work due to an illness give them an incredibly hard time. Maybe if you ignore that person they'll get tired of messing with you.

Most people that are bullies have problems themselves. Remember that.
