Work Colleague Rant

My advice to you Me, is to stop being punctual and hardworking! I'm sure if woman in my old job had done that, she wouldn't have been so twisted up by rage and hate!

Stunning advice. Someone else told me exactly the same thing, this afternoon. Am going to try it next week. Just very difficult as it isn't me to not work hard (I know nobody will thank you for it when your gone - but that's just me).
 
I work with this woman and am getting very frustrated.

She is full time but because her daughter (16) sometimes has random fainting attacks she starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4.30pm so she can take her and pick her up from school. The idea is that she works through her lunch to make up the time, and that is fine except she is always late by at least 10 - 15 minutes - today she strolled in at 10am. She always leaves dead on 4.30pm and at least twice a week has a full lunch hour.

We don't have a line manager at the moment so I have no one to bring it up with IRL. It really annoys me that she is getting paid full time wages for doing a part time job - and she isn't even that good at it.

Interviews for our line manager happened this week, so hopefully soon I will have someone to vent at who can do something about it. In the meantime Urban gets it.

Anyone at your workplace who winds you up and can make me feel better?

I haven't been arsed to read the thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating what others have already said, but you seem like a cunt.
 
Thanks for the constructive criticism arseholes!!
I am not pissed off with the fact that she has an arrangement to accommodate her family situation, I am pissed off that she is getting paid for time she does not work, and when she does work she is shit.

Like i said, stasi prick.
 
Hey, s/he was the one who repeated his original post - not my fault if s/he failed to advance their orignal post one iota.

Haven't you two got doleys to snoop on or something? Someone somewhere might be getting something that you're not. The rotters.

Excuse me twat, I was the one who said I was lazy so don't you accuse me of having a work ethic. I have nothing against anyone not doing work. I just think the way you express yourself needs some work.
 
Not got a work ethic? Sounds to me like your work has invaded your personality and turned you into a finger wagger. No gold star for me.
 
No it doesn't - it means people who deal only with the manner in which a point is made and ignore the content. I happen to think this forum shouldn't be about getting fellow workers dismissed or disciplined or in trouble with the boss and so likened those seeking to do so to stasi style grasses.
 
As do you, to be fair.

That's not very grown-up, is it?

I don't particularly care for the way Geri and Butchers put their criticisms - not to mention Athos - but they said pretty much what I was thinking when I read the OP.

It's a nasty bit of petty-mindedness that's all about envy and resentment, and nothing about the milk of human kindness. I thought it was a shabby little exhibition of how narrow-minded and hateful people can get for absolutely no reason at all. I must have done: it even had me quoting Scripture!

And I'm glad to see, even if I don't usually agree with them or the somewhat brutal style they often use to post, that some people had the balls to call her nastiness as they saw it.

At the risk of sounding even more holy, I think that "there but for the grace of God go I" is a handy bit of thinking to do in these situations. I've been where that woman was - my wife (now ex) was very poorly, and my employers let me roll in at 10, 1030, and rush off at 1530 for several months. I said I'd make the time up when I could, although I rarely did, but they let me do that. I am proud to say that my colleagues were every bit as supportive as my employers were - nobody, as far as I know, went tittle-tattling to complain that I was swinging the lead, and all I ever got was concern and support. Should I ever be in a position to pass that favour forward, I shall do. And I won't thank any bitter, resentful shrews who think they're somehow being done down for pointing out my error in doing so, - far from it.

I was criticising you for being abusive. Not for your use of fucking apostrophes. And there wasn't really any content, was there? Sorry, I just think you're a bit of a knob. :)

Good point. I suppose, as I know Me76, I think she didn't really mean it like it sounded, hence being offended on her behalf, but I do see what you mean. I don't think it was nastiness from her, though. Honest.

Well, that's good to know, although I think she probably needs to sue her user ID for libel, then :)
 
I've just explained the content - which again, you fail to deal with. At least this time you didn't take it as the opportunity to tell us another story about yourself, so thanks for that at least. A short aggressive post emphasising anger and disgust at the thatcherite nonsense in the OP and in the OP's attitude. Repeated when they failed to respond except by repitition. Simple. Not much more was needed. And for the record (not that it matters), it was you who attacked me first with your sneering-teacher-post to me.

And be honest, you're just annoyed at my exceptionally well timed joke at your expense months ago now. Get the fuck over it.

What joke??? I really don't remember.

Right, now having accepted that I am a bitter and tragic fool, I've been trying to search for this joke. Do you mean you calling me pissface? I must admit to fuming about that for a bit but I can't find anything else.
