Have You Ever Been Really Pissed about a Colleague?

The qualities which you said above exactly one of my colleague has and I really had tough time with her but she use to share every thing with me stating that I am her best friend but I never use to like her , I have resigned that office right now I am free from her but still she is calling me up , she use make every body's job tough and she cant see anyone growing in the company , she want her self to be top always Ihate that you just made me to remember those days...

I think each place has one of those....Where I work we do too. She also has this little way of running to the boss with every little thing. Sometimes I wonder how she can breath as her nose is so far up the bosses behinder! Ours however likes to call the shots and she is not capable of it. She just thinks she is!

That's the reason I hate office jobs. There is always that one person that does nothing but mess with anyone everyone else in the office and cause problems 24/7. I hate that.

Don't resign wondericequeen....No thats not the best way to deal with this. How about, you work hard, keep your nose to the grindstone, and find someting that will get right under her skin, she sounds like she is very self opinionated, well you could use this to your advantage, but be nice, don't give her room to come back at you, but you could make remarks (use what you have learned about her or her personality) that would make her think again about the way she acts. . Good luck

Yes - I once worked with a woman who was so SLOW ... we were in a newspaper office, and it was like drawing teeth to get her to finish things before her deadline! She was a perfectionist, which is fair enough, but we didn't have the luxury of her taking so long, and she'd fiddle around for hours and then get herself stressed. It's hard working in an office ... there are bound to be people we don't get on with somewhere in the mix!

When I was still working for a call center our team leader was such a jerk and a power tripper as well, I got so pissed I ended up resigning coz no one at the administration would do anything to have him change his attitude I'm still pretty pissed at him til now...

Well, I can relate with this one, as we had a woman that I worked with, and as long as everything was OK, she was OK. Then something happened at work, and she ended up getting upset, and talking about everyone, including me, really loud to where I could usually hear it, and then say I knew everyone's business which I would never have known if she would have not chosen to talk so loud. One day she was totally upset with me, and started talking quite loud about me with me sitting right by her. I got pissed and said I did not appreciate it, and thought she needed to grow up if she wanted to talk about others that way. She got defensive because of it, and gossiped about me even worse. Made some people believe her over me, to where some people still will not have anything to do with me. She even tried to get me Fired, which did not work, as my Boss knew the real proof would come out. I even said to her, remember "What Goes Around Comes Around". Well, she is no longer working where I work and recently got fired as she was coming into work only when she wanted too, not caring about anyone else, and even trying to fooling the boss thinking he would never notice. So I feel a lot of times, it all works out for the best in the end.

yes, because one time i was with that colleague and she kept on talking and talking bad about something/someone in other department that she worked with. i was so pissed off with her whining i told her to just let it go and stop complaining.

oh yeah wonderice. really pissed. i have started a discussion long long before, about her and what she did that made me pissed at her. she's just an annoying, loud mouth woman who loves money and free stuffs, forces people to give her favors and would argue and fight with anyone (even her friends) over some free food that isn't even intended for her. she even crossed her friend who is her son's godmother over a tuna given to the friend by an officemate. she got envious. yeah, i forgot to mention she's full of envy and greed. she would complain about work when in fact, there's little work in their department. so little that they have the liberty to leave their department anytime they want. and its annoying coz at times that we need their service, no one's there to do the work. and she have the nerve to speak ill of people as if she is smarter than them. that's what she did before that made me so mad. she spoke ill of my mother as if she was smarter than my mom. until now, we are not in good terms. i'm very civil with her and i think, i'm never going to be friends with her again.

Yep, and because people like that don't really do any work, they have more time and energy to continually disrupt and unfortunately the result of that is they usually outlast everyone else. The problem is that someone hired her and someone allegedly supervises her. So there is your real problem. Keep that resume up to date, grrrl. Knowing you have options makes every day easier to bear.

Hello wondericequeen, I have many of this type in my office. I am grateful that I don't really have to work with them. I try not to get involved with this people but sometimes it is just hard to do as we are working in the same office.

well every office has its politics and there cant be any exceptions with yours.I also have people like ur collegue in my office but i TRY not to let that bother me as i know i have my own responsiblities and work load to be completed.also...live ur live kingsize and dont let office politics bother u and u will enjoy ur work

If am not wrong why don't you look out for some other company.which field are you in.

hehehe.. i have been there. there really are people like that. those are the people who doesn't how to place their selves in a proper way in any field like at home or at work. it's such an unethical to act as like that when you're already working because it means you're professional and you have tp act like one. business is not going to grow if workers are like that.

That co worker is either threatened by your presence or is very insecure about her personality and abilities... i have encountered a lot of co worders like that in the past... and they can be a real pain... no amount of ignoring them will work... so what i do is i try to be very frank with them... and tell them to stay away from me... or else there will be consequenses... that usually works...

Yes two years ago they hired a totally unknown second in comman in our library and none of us liked her. she criticized all the time and she did not like the idea of an old lady, i overheard this, working there under her. so she commenced to work on my super until my super finally gave in, as the second in command threatened to quit and they had no one to fill her job, and let me go. she as much as said she did not want to do it, but she did it and no going back now. a woman like that is very cruel. she didnot last however but was fired all so.
