Annoying people at work... - Page 5

Well, my meeting wasen't as gloom and doom as I thought. I was so nervous during it thought, I was fidgiting... and I hate when I do that. Basically, they're eliminating one of the 8 hour positions, (that's me) but they're doing it by seniority. I have seniority over the other 8 hour person, however she's the asskisser. She's the one that's being preened for the promotion job, but that won't take place for another year. We will find out how their "seniority rules" thing goes when the time comes. I was also told, that, because of my situation, they would help find a different job if it comes to pass that I'm the one who has to go. See when Jason died, they got me off of 12 hours and put me on 8 hours in a different position to help me out. From my understanding, I had lots of pull from upper management, and they took care of me. I was told they know my situation at home hasen't changed, and they are willing to help out again if needed. I don't expect them to wipe my ass everytime something happens, I just expect my seniority to mean something when it should, and that I should be able to keep my current job. So, we shall see.

That's my rant. It's the weekend... I'm leaving it at work, and I'm going out tonight!!!

Good, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you thought. It sounds like things will work out for you one way or another so try not to worry! I hope you have a good time tonight!

Hmmm. That doesn't sound too bad. I'm glad for you, Maria. Have a good time tonight!

OMG that reminds me of my dad's secretary where I work. Every day when I go in at 7am she meets me at the door with her latest story about her daughters wedding and she goes ON AND ON AND ON AND ON! Then when someone else walks in she starts talking about it again and again and she keeps saying "like i was telling jeremy before you got here...and he was laughing" I WAS NOT LAUGHING..I was going "mmhmm mmhmm yeah yeah yeah..uh huh.." Then when my dad walks in she shuts up and gets back to work. Too friggin annyoying for me. Now I am afraid to go in on Monday cause she is going to be talking my ear off about her weekend ...bridal showers, birthday parties...UGH cant wait! NOT!

I'm having such a hard time with Blurt getting that promotion. First, he is a musician and so over the past 2 1/2 years that I have been here has been part time up until about 6 mos ago. It was clear this job was his second priority. Second, he would also occasionally be out of town for weeks at a time touring. He wasn't serious about this job. Now all of a sudden he flies in and takes this promotion?

I've been looking for a more permanent position here all along. It is extremely unfair and I am so mad.

He's already annoying the hell out of people with his circuitous blabbering. Well good then, harumph. That's what they get.

I just had to listen to him call the gym and ask for a tour :barf:, employees get an incredible discount.

I hate him.

I'm sorry Suze. Maybe he will turn out to be too unreliable, and he'll get fired and then you get the position!!!

I hope so.

That sounds really, really unfair - suspiciously unfair. Is there anything you can do?

That's what I'm thinking - something about that really stinks

Sorry about the work situation Suze...he'll get what's coming to him though....and hopefully you will too (in a good way for you though

)

I was told he is more assertive and has more experience. Apparently he was a QA manager at some point in his past. He has also been working more regularly ever since my boss has been here, which hasn't been that long. Maybe she didn't even know about his part-time history. Maybe I'm just making excuses for her.

When a man is assertive in the workplace, he's called strong and "up to the job." When a woman is assertive in the workplace, she's called a bitch and people can't wait to see her fall flat on her ass.

Right.

I even stepped up and organized and conducted team meetings before my new boss came because my old boss wasn't doing it and hated it. I volunteered. That is assertive. Effers.

If it makes you feel any better, the **** got deeper today with me at work. I am one of two 8 hour people whose job is on the line. They have to get rid of one 8 hour position. I have seniority over the other person, and so I have the decision to stay or go. Supposedly. The other person is being trained in a new system that is ultimately making the one 8 hour position go away. So today, my supervisor came up to me with a job post elsewhere in the company, and told me she thought I may be interested in it. At first it kinda pissed me off, because it's obvious she wants me gone, so her little pet can stay. But the more I thought about it, I said **** it, I'll apply for it so I can be away from the bull**** once and for all. So, I may be having a new job to bitch about here soon. We'll see....

I'm an hourly employee and my paycheck comes from another company that I contract through. There is one employee here who is salaried and never puts in a full 8 hours and it drives me crazy. 7 1/2 like every day. It's just frustrating because I came in before him and I will leave after him and it isn't fair.
