She then goes, she goes, she goes, whatevers, and I am all like in her face with, don't go there.

And she's all, Oh I'll go where I want

I hate this guy at work.

He is always complaining and criticizing every co-worker's way of working on projects.

He wants to run the office but has not talent or skills for that, so he basically sabotages everyone and everything, and then comes in as a heor to save the day and he does it in front of the manager.

Now, he has told everyone at work, except the manager, that he'll definitely get the job when they announce the opening of office director.

I hate this guy at work he is such a little jerk.

OK I come in, punch in and go down and get changed. Then I eat my breakfast. And he's all like, "You're phone is ringing."

I tell him, "Then answer it." I am not about to get indigestion for him.

Then he gets all pouty like it's my fault the phone is ringing.

So I go up and log into my computer and check my email and he's like, "You have a client waiting."

And I'm like, "Well there not going anywhere."

And well you get the idea.

But do I complain to the boss about his bitching at me. But heaven forbid, I ask him to punch out for me if I leave early.

My manager. Im not even going to start mentioning all the reasons why or I'll work myself into a rage. I just hope Im moved into another team soon. Although I suspect everybody else in my team is dying to get away from him too. Apart from my manager, I'm indifferent to everyone else. I think most of the others feel the same way about me and each other. It's one of the benefits of working in a team that doesn't have a single person under 30. We have lives, we don't want to be bffs and have drinks on Friday together. We just want to do a good job and then have nothing to do with each other until we're all back in the office again. This team is the most professional and harmonious I've ever worked with and yet our manager is so awful I have no doubt people will start jumping ship.

There's a woman at work who barely hides her contempt for me, rarely makes eye-contact and never returns my hellos. Our brief and random interactions (we don't work together closely but I have paperwork to give her every few weeks) are always awkward; she puts on a flat-affect face and monotone voice and speaks in short, clipped sentences. I've caught her giving me barely disguised eye rolls on a few occasions. I know she's not like this with everyone as I see her being chatty and friendly with others.

No idea what her deal is. I'm wondering if it's homophobia since I'm the only out gay person in the office. Just started this job a few months ago and everyone else is nice and treats me with respect.

I got in a car accident and came in the next day woozy and he accused me of being drunk. Even had HR accompany me to Cedars and wanted access to my medical records.

I work for a manager who is most likely a sociopath. All the gossip in the office is started and perpetuated by her. She continuously lies to other employees about her staff, mainly to get a reaction and to have some entertainment. Her entire life is centered around her job, but she runs her mouth more than doing any quantifiable work. Unfortunately, most of the people in my office are dumb and poor judges of character, so they believe most of her bullshit until it's too late. She's successfully fired just about anyone she perceives as a threat, since she is very cunning, at times charming, and knows how to sweet talk the boss to do her bidding. She is pure evil. I'm the only one in the office to ever confront her about her antics, and it led to an extended feud where she lied to other employees about me to get a coalition of people to hate me. When that didn't work, she made stuff up about the quality of my work. I'm wondering how common this kind of behavior is in the workplace? I'm looking for a job now and do not want to meet anyone like her again.

Plans her vacations and shops online in her office. Attends useless meetings. I hate when I see her invoices or reservations on the central printer.

I hate her assistant more though, who really serves no purpose other than doing two hours of work each day so my supervisor doesnt need to do four. Totally oversteps his boundaries as her assistant to do nothing. Selfish male cunt with an attitude problem and a Napoleon complex.

Not working now (summer college classes) but there was an old bitch that worked in my office that drove me up a fucking wall.

She sat two cubes over but I could hear her…and she just complained about everything, all day, every day, day in, day out. She was never positive, was mean to her daughter on the phone.

She chose to be short with me one day when I was helping her and I held my hand up and said, "Oh, no. You may use that tone of voice with other people, but I don't do abuse. When you're ready to have a calm discussion about this, let me know." She was cordial to me after that.

Ugh, even discussing her makes me mad. Nasty old cunt.

I posted this on the 'shit you hate' thread but feel like venting again. I have a pair of 20 something co-workers who think they are auditioning for SNL. All day long. Monday through Friday. (Think Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sans cracking themselves up for hours on end.)

They yell out the same joke of the day to each other, throughout the day. And think they are hi-larious.

They love to have nicknames for everyone in the office. And they LOVE practical jokes. (The latest one was putting every unused office chair, 20 of them, into one guys office while he was on vacation. When he returned and opened his office door, there was a mini-mountain of chairs blocking his entry. (Eye roll)

Sure, it's fun to have upbeat co-workers and do stupid things NOW AND THEN. But this is a regular occurrence off and on throughout the day. And most of the people in the office think these guys are just a hoot.

I swear if forced to pick between one extreme or the other, I'll take a co-worker who never talks any day.

I'm not going to call her misogynist names because I believe she is a nice person outside of work, but there is a lady who infuriates me with her endurance for re:re:re:re:re: emails. She will never take 'no' for an answer, never accept my explanation for why the computer system did what it did, and never makes her staff accountable for their fuck-ups. She answers every email response with another question or comment and it goes on and on. Oh, and with many CC:'s too. I give up after a while, she wears me down. The plus side is that everyone in my company realizes she's an airhead. She did one response though that lit me up so bad, within seconds after she sent it and I read it I dialed her extension. She must have seen my caller ID because I seriously called her within seconds and she had to still be in front of her computer. She didn't answer, which is good because I was going to lay into her. Thankfully, I had a few minutes to cool down. Again, I don't think she is a bad person, I just think she was promoted to a position of incompetence and doesn't know how to deal with her staff's obvious lack of work engagement.

I got laid off five weeks ago and I'm so glad. I hated my job and I really hated my coworkers.

The worse was this privileged white guy who spoke like he was from the ghetto. He used to pronounce something "suntin" and he was a total dick.

Then there was this other guy who used to pick his nose and flick his boogers. I would always look over at his desk and catch him doing this until one day he looked over and saw me looking at him. It was awkward. Without thinking, I sort of smiled and winked hoping he would laugh it off. Instead, he tormented me from that day forward.

Then there was the office "goth" chick who had never heard of Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy. She just wore black all the time and talked about her love of rats and acted like a cunt.

They think their shit doesn't stink yet don't realize how many people make accommodations for them because they do know everything.

Big lesbian Judy. Humourless, unattractive, and sour. Told somebody she thought I was rude, but I never had a conversation with her. She hates me because I'm prettier than she is.

I'm with the other posters who can't pick just one.

by Anonymousreply 88January 12, 2014 5:32 AM

I can't pick one either, so I'll do a short summary of the top three.

Office secretary: Runs hot and cold, hyper or sullen. Inappropriately loud and giddy when happy, surly when sad. Engages in serious buzz kill. Complaining and negative, refers to clients as bozos and idiots.

Office clerk: Negative, rude, complaining, unfriendly, unsympathetic to clients. Is either not talking to secretary or they are best friends. She is a tattletale and will exaggerate or lie to boss to get people in trouble. When successful she becomes elated. Sick fuck.

Idiot boss: Zero people skills, bully, oaf, self-centered, takes all credit, gives none. Stirs the pot with his staff, believes the last lie he's told, humiliates staff, and never says thank you, I'm sorry, or great job. My favorite co-worker says he will stroke out one day and we can't wait.

The rest of the crew are great but we suffer working with the idiots. As we're in another suite we have many laughs at their expense. Thank god for the laughs.

(sorry for me english, i am from a non english speaking country) We are 20 people working together, very good comunication and humorous people. but for the last year, there is this guy Tom, very problematic, lonely, game addict at home, smoking weed alone all the time. Doesn't have the courage to speak responsible, only to interupt when someone talks, and when its his turn to say something he talks bullshit. surely he is neurotic because of no friends or girlfriend, he is young thought, 27 so he may change. But now he is an annoying asshole. He tries to find the weakness of everyone so he can hurt him, at the right time when there is no people around. Apparently he was very problematic as a child. Our team once was a hell, but some old bastards left, and now our team is very good, almost perfect, and a person could really easily fit in. So it is obvious that its Toms problem. I don't know what he is going to do in his life. He only tries to be annoying, like putting loud music and all of us don't tell him anything feeling pitty for him and a little bit afraid of his reactions. I don't know how to talk to him. Well i don't need to, but sometimes it is nessesary.

Kate. Loud, pushy, favorite topic is herself, spends her entire day surfing the web and loudly announcing whatever tidbit has caught her attention. Gets things wrong, constantly ("Billie Jean King is carrying in the US flag at Sochi! Stephen Sondheim wrote 'Sunset Boulevard'!")

Made all the worse by her speech impediment that makes her sound like Sylvester the cat. Icing on the cake is that she's a dumb Republican who every other day will complain about the cost of Michelle Obama's trip to China, or some such nonsense.

Asking her to please use her "indoor cackle" hasn't gone over well.

My manager. She has the loosest lips on the planet, talks crap about my co-workers to me (I can only imagine what she says about me to others). Is wildly inappropriate, makes comments about my looks when we are in a private 1 on 1 meeting. Has driven people off our team with her bossy ways. She has little actual involvement in the work we do, but will decide to throw wrenches in everything because she thinks something other managers are doing is a "good idea", but doesn't care how much work it takes, or if it might actually NOT work (we're not like the other teams in the building). She's a complete nut. Her laugh sounds like a machine gun gone retarded.

I'm an ICU RN. Most hated is thirty something RN. Lazy, nosy, probably bipolar. Seems to have up and down swings. Has four kids, always on the verge of leaving her husband. Snappy, rude. Asked a coworker twice if her boobs are "real" (they are, I know!!) Overly friendly with anyone she thinks can do something for her--I can't imagine what. Rumors are she was a ghetto brat street fighter in her teens, made some trips thru the system. How she ever got her RN is beyond me. Thanks for listening.

[quote]I work for a manager who is most likely a sociopath. All the gossip in the office is started and perpetuated by her. She continuously lies to other employees about her staff, mainly to get a reaction and to have some entertainment.

I had a similar experience. I was an Assitant Art Director at an in-house art department, the Creative Director was a closted man and clearly a sociopath. He always seemed to hire men and women who were just like him.

One closeted guy he hired was a raging drunk and a womanizer who started so many office rumors, it was shock that it took so long for him to be fired. He'd come back from lunch reaking of alcohol. He'd leer that he'd fucked some woman at lunch. I told him,"Yeah riiight, more ike a guy!." I had his number! He hated that I outed him. Then he started to brag how men found him so hot. This guy was so messed up mentally, you almost had to feel sorry for him.

The CD was a bitchy backstabbing little queen who couldn't be more than 5'5"! He thrived on starting rumors. He rarely did an actual work. He made an enormous salary and his yearly bonus was more than two graphic designers salaries combined.

He was always talking about how 'poor' he was, he loved infuriating his staff, they all knew he wasn't poor. He was also a blowhard ReThug who adored Reagan and Bush. I left way before Obama became president, I can imagine how Obama's presidency blew his little racist mind!

This creep even went as far as pitting the freelancers against each other by telling each of them individually that they all made different hourly rates. They all did the same job and made the same amount per hour, but this creep enjoyed creating havoc. Getting his staff to despise each other was his life. He was locked into a miserable marriage to a woman who he knew was having an affair, he had a child with mental disabilities, so he took it out on his staff. If he had no control in his personal life, he micromanaged his staff.

Because this creep set the tone in the office, so many in the department followed his lead and most of the department became insufferable, talk about a trickle down theory, it always happens in these sorts of environments! The staff becomes as disgusting as their boss for fear of losing their jobs.

I've been working from home for the past few years, I LOVE it. Nothing beats not having to deal with office drama, most of which usually has NOTHING to do with the job at hand.

In retrospect, most of the drama with my last staff job had nothing to do with the actual work, everyone did their work except for the office drink.

Most of the office drama was all based on gossip and outright lies perpetuated by the CD. What was infurirating was the fact that the boss created most of the office drama, so exactly how does a person get around that? In these types of situations, workers feel like they don't have a leg to stand on.

This particular company was corrupt from the top down, going to HR proved futile, they were as disgusting at each department manager was. They hired day laborers to do major repairs, they paid them cash and thought nothing of it. How this company was never sued for millions was a miracle.

Nothing pleased me more than to recently hear that my ex-boss was finally fired along with the equally corrupt CEO! It took long enough to clean house! The CD had been there since the mid 1970s!

This neurotic bitch who is so fucking boring and goes on and on about her worries about getting heart disease even though she's still in her 30s and her waist size (she is not even obese, maybe not even overweight) and her fucking job search and worries about it multiple times a week even though it's six and a half months before she'll be unemployed (if she doesn't find work before then). I want to fucking strangle her. And she is so monotone, so boring and a horrible writer/speaker. Other people make it entertaining or inject feeling at least. She's so irritating and super ugly and unattractive as well (she does not even seem to care) which bothers me as well. SIGH. I daily feel my patience seriously tested by her and I wish I was a bigger person than this bitch getting to me.

Thanks for the opportunity to vent anyway :)

I have worked with Jane for two years, in the last year Ive been getting almost daily updates about her teen son. The first year it was that he was starting to slack off at school and was probably going to fail his drivers test because he was such a bad driver and he wasnt making curfew. The second year it's been that he is failing classes& his standardized tests, not turning in work, multiple tardies and suspensions for them, skipping school twice, lying, still not making curfew, refusing to try to get a job unless Jane does it for him and then getting fired from it after a month, and all of this is tied up in the drama that is his fat little gf who is a high school dropout with a white trash family who dont do anything but scam the government and Jane's kid for money.

Jane and her husband flat out refuse to give this kid any consequences for anything. They let his gf come over to their house everyday until 10 or 11pm without the kid getting their permission. They let the kid spend any money he made at his job on her instead of his traffic tickets or gas. They pay for him to tote her and her family everywhere, they pay for emergency vet care for the gfs animals that have never had any medical care. Etc etc you get the picture. But she WILL NOT lay down any rules that he needs like taking away his keys or banning him spending time with the gf during the week, but she comPlains everyday about him and the gf and the situation in general. I have tried making remarks about how I knew such things were forbidden because (insert punishment I would have received under the same circumstance), in hopes that this would give her the confidence to take control of her home, but it goes in one ear and out the other. I have heard her on the phone with him saying that she is so mad at him she doesnt know what to say and that theyre going to have a big talk that night and "things are going to change for you", but they never do change! I am at the end of my rope with her daily complaints because I just want to snap, "things are NOT going to change because you refuse to make changes! He has no impetus to act better because he has suffered literally ZERO consequences and retains every last privilege he has! So what do you expect??"

A couple of times I have come close to saying this and she always says "well, it could be worse, that's what I keep telling myself. It could be so much worse, at least he's not a dopehead." And to that I want to say that he is worse! Addiction can be overcome, but laziness, irresponsibility, lack of an education, chronic insubordination, legal trouble and being shackled by marriage and/or baby to an equally nonambitious welfare queen and her mother at the age of 18 cannot be overcome!

Cute intentional misspellings and all, your joke backfired, since penultimate doesn't mean second to the most condescending, but simply second to last.

Unfortunately he had a cowardly, backstabbing side to him. In the 3.5 years I worked with and around him he viciously backstabbed five of us and harassed a woman who reported him to HR (she won.) He left a trail of damaged people where ever he went.

Literally Tuesday she will happily chat with you at lunch, Wednesday she'll look at you like your crazy and walk away from you when you say "good morning!" In passing. Friday she will be in hysterics, whispering and wiping her tears over the family member or old friend or co worker who has done her wrong by not "being there for her" or "supporting her" or "saying a mean thing".

The fucked thing is, she has friends at work. People who actually listen to her, and pat her frizzy haired man-like head and say "there there, so unfair, poor Marnie. those bad people! you are a wonderful person!"

Josh (or Joshua, depending on the day/his mood). A lying, back-stabbing, plagiaristic, racist young gay 'bear' with whom I have the misfortune to work. He actually posted on FB, "I can't help but chuckle when I see a co-worker getting a dose of karma", as my father was dying in hospice care. One of my friends had to talk me down, and talk me out of bringing a baseball bat to work to 'deal' with this asshole. I think it's extremely counter-productive to hate other people, but I don't know any way not to hate Josh/Joshua.

At my old job it was the overly religious staff attorney. She had to take the bar 5+ times to pass it and what aggravated the most was she tried to call everyone else out about the smallest fucking rules. She was mostly wrong as she had a habit of convoluting issues. What bothered me more was that on appellate issues I kept telling her, on too many occasions , State Rules > Local Rules (unless State rules PERMIT Local Rules then Local Rules control). She wrote very flawed appellate briefs that I had to go behind and fix. It annoyed the shit out of me because the cunt had the audacity to be like , " oh you're forgetting Blah blah blah rule " or "this and that rule (always an inapplicable rule to the instant case) says, " or , "wait this note of decision states ( again a case dissimilar to the present one)" .

It always ate at her that a 20-something paralegal was assigned all important cases that went to the State Court of Appeal /Supreme Court. She always took the credit but everyone knew who actually wrote it. She never openly challenged me because I was the trusted researcher and also a combative person in general (even my boss feared me to a certain degree) , so she always resorted to passive-aggressive methods. That's what she did with anyone who was "smarter" than her. She took out her micro aggressions on me , the hot real estate lawyer, the passive secretary , and the two smart law students. I notice she didn't do it to the other attorneys who were boring looking introverts. The only reason the cunt kept her job was that our boss was also overly religious and wouldn't put a mother out of a job.

I still give the bitch an Xmas gift every year because I can't show up to the old office and give all persons A-F and not give person D a gift so ugh it annoys me every year to see her. Also , she protest voted this election and refused to vote Hillary despite the fact that her entire office is mostly white women who benefitted largely from affirmative action. Yet another reason to hate the bitch. She also doesn't support gay marriage , though she has never treated me unkind because of my sexuality. She's a very closed minded individual too always saying " well the Bible says" when she doesn't want to be tolerant of different ideas.
