There's this one woman who has a similar role to mine and has managed to turn doing her job to the very barest minimum standard into an art form.
I have heard clients thank her profusely for the favour of her doing her actual job for them. She's amazing at making it sound like an enormous amount of work but she'll help them out of the goodness of her heart.
We now mostly work from home and I'm fairly sure she's doing bugger all, but for years we've reckoned when a new boss comes along they get a brown envelope containing some secret information which stops any kind of performance management.
It's both impressive and deeply irritating.
I have a technical role and this guy is my counterpart on the business side.
Every fucking meeting, when I answer a technical question he will answer it again but add a ton of extra bullshit. Every fucking time. Same answer always but fluffed up. What’s the fucking point?
I’m a pretty calm person but he has made me want to throw my laptop at the wall a few times.
There’s a certain women at work that’s just annoying she brings her dog in evrey single day, she also has referred to me as “the office bitch” because I do all the jobs people think there to good for, like putting up computer screens, fixing computers, taking out the bins, calling the repair people when things go wrong, sorting out anything that needs doing really, I laugh it of though as she earns nearly half I do.
I hate micro-managers, but I wish we had one at the moment. I'm part-time, and I get loads more done in a week than her.
At first, I tried to cut her some slack, but it's not lack of training/ability; when she's in the office, if there's "nothing to do", she picks up her phone, or starts online shopping (instead of offering to help our small team that are always busy). If she'll do that sat next to me then I have no doubt she's worse the 4 days a week she wfh.
Sounds similar!! If one of the rest of us finishes our workload we’re over to the others to see what we can help with.
She never finishes her work and as she’s part time ends up giving it over to us at the end of her work week.
Unfortunately she’s the daughter of a big boss so we’re stuck with her.
Trying to get transferred out, just need to be patient
It's even dumber than that.
I shit you not, he openly said he stopped watching Love Island beacue there were too many black people on it.
Of all the hills to die on...
I work with an old dear like this. She's lovely but my goodness, I've never known anyone with so much to say about so little. And God forbid she finds something funny - she will be laughing to herself about it for five straight minutes.
I hate her because she should have retired about 15 years ago. She actively hates children. And we work in a school. She is vile to all the members of staff, but gets away with it because “that’s just how she is”.
I’m actually leaving next week partly because I cannot stand to be around this woman.
Sounds a lot like the woman who worked the student side of my secondary school reception office (we had our own window separate to the front one for visitors). A few teachers as well. Loathed kids, worked in a school with kids.
Yes absolutely awful. Also awful to the caretaker, any contractors we have on site and the parents she doesn’t like (most of them).
Just a genuinely horrible woman. I don’t even speak to her anymore - I have no desire to expend any energy on her.
Wouldn’t say hate . But you know the one person who asks a question at the end of a meeting , normally just coz they just like the sound of their own voice . Yeah that one .
“So, just to make sure, I want to clarify, you said that we’re not to shit on the carpet in the middle of the office? And you mean that, going forward, from now on, or is it starting tomorrow? That we, as an organisation, allow anyone to shit on the floor in the middle of the office? Am I right?”
“Sorry I just need to ask this question that is so unbelievably specific to me, and will be completely irrelevant to anyone else, and then ask 10 follow up questions that again, will be incredibly specific to me”
In my work, its usually a training course, but its never at the end. Its always in the middle, rather than waiting until everyone else has gone to ask that person-specific thing, considering we only need to stay until the training actually ends, as opposed to a set time.
"Sorry, I know this meeting has overrun and it's already 10 minutes past most people's leaving time, but I just wanted to ask if this only applies to our own shit? Are we allowed to deposit other people's shit on the office carpet? And what's the stance on things like dogshit or catshit? Are they considered OK, or would that also be frowned upon?"
I work for a home insurer and once had an hour long meeting to debate about whether we would cover damage caused by dog shit.
Until you’ve been locked in a room where people are having heated arguments about we need to establish who owns the dog, you haven’t lived.
And right in the last few minutes, where I was desperate not to discuss the nuances of pet faeces again, some tosser asked what our stance on cat sick was…
My colleague *loves* the sound of her own voice. I endured a 45 minute conversation yesterday around her commute to and from work, and her decision on moving 25 miles away from where she originally lived and all the ins and outs about buying a new build.
She goes in to incredible detail about the most trivial things. It's conversations like that where I'd much rather just do my job.
I had someone just like that. Hour long monologues on travel timetables. I couldn't get a word in to even make up an excuse to go to the bathroom. They are Dementors sucking the very soul and our will to live.
I managed someone like this. Every meeting was a contact monologue of their viewpoints and ambitions. I'd direct questions to other team members or provide a platform to hear others talk, they'd open their mouths and her voice would come out. OR they'd start to speak and she'd interrupt...
I got so fed up of reminding her to allow others space to finish their thought.
I always make a point in the middle of a meeting but mostly our CPR training to answer an open question or ask something simple to show I've had some input and do not need to worry about showing much interest for the rest of it if my attention is waining. Many of my colleagues have cottoned on I do this so not to answer anything later and play dumb if I have to.
I've done my bit and I usually put my say in late in the first half enough to not be forgotten. I hate to be that person at the end of the meeting and will only bring up something if it's super important and the other staff are too chicken shit to bring it up (usually involving the other building and staff that often gets forgotten which I have to cover for now and again).
But yes, those who pipe up to bring nothing to the table than draw attention to themselves and prolong a meeting can shut up!
We’ve got two that have joined our clients team recently, neither listen properly and will want to discuss something 5-20 mins after we’ve already discussed it for that meeting. They act like we never spoke about it at all.
Similarly - people who cannot stick to asking one question at a time and instead launching into some preamble before asking a sequence of questions and loading them with their own answers.
Sure, it takes some skill to just ask one question directly, and simply, but there’s no way you can actually answer something like that.
The good news is, maybe not, maybe you have one of those lovely workplaces who know how to behave.
The bad news is - it won't last. Someone will join/leave the team which will upset the equilibrium, and you'll end up hating at least one of them. Probably.
He acted like the teacher's pet at school, but we were both on our mid 20s. Would CC in our manager or else make sure our manager was within earshot if he thought I'd made a mistake, no matter how small and insignificant. Had a smarmy smile every time and used to do a weird head shake thing when doing so. Twat.
Got one like that here too. Sucks up to any managers of importance to the point it’s embarrassing, then poisons them against anyone he doesn’t like by acting like Grimer Wormtongue. If he gets any jobs of importance he makes sure to LOUDLY talk about it so everyone in earshot knows how big and important he is. He’s earned the name “Mr High and Mighty”.
Loooool I had smarmy little buttkissing dickhead like this as my junior coworker. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hands down the little bastard was literally the dumbest person that I have ever worked with but my coworkers seemed to be under his spell and they, along with my ex boss, kinda encouraged him to bully me (literally the main reason why i want get the fuck out of my current company LOL).
Thank fuck the little runt and my ex boss left now to another company 🥳. LOL good riddance fuck them both 🖕🏻🖕🏻
>Would CC in our manager or else make sure our manager was within earshot if he thought I'd made a mistake, no matter how small and insignificant
Yep, I've got a few here like that and one that likes to berate folk when they make a mistake which really irritates me considering I view most mistakes and fuck-ups as teaching moments (because how else do we learn?).
They can try and suck up all they like, but their attitude alone is going to stop them from being promoted any time soon....
I absolutely loathe when people do this stupid shit! I had a woman I was working with at a school when I was training as a teacher who would always CC my manager in every email good or bad.
It's completely unnecessary to include other people when the information can easily be addressed to me. They just do these things to make themselves look good and to get me into trouble.
There are many Karens and Kevins among us. Let's remain vigilant.
She had a banging body though.
I used to hate him until I realised he isn't worth the energy. Now i just look at him blankly when we meet. He gets ignored as if he doesn't even exist. He's a closet racist. I know this because another colleague told me his views and shared content on his phone which confirms. Explains why he's really friendly with everyone except for me.
They spend all day every day complaining about having no money and then go on holiday 5 or 6 times a year. And we aren't talking about Skegness, we are talking about America, Australia or Greece as a minimum.
Let's do some maffs shall we
£3 a day, 250 work days = £750 a year
How much do you think a holiday to Australia is? £2k? £3k?
I'm so fucking sick of people vilifying eating fucking food. FOOD.
Well I don't want to hear from him moaning about he has no money then. You stop him moaning about it. Bear on mind this man is just making minimum wage.
He spends £15 day on breakfast and lunch he said. 5 days a week. £300 every month.
Maffs? Patronising.
Asks too many questions and is generally nosey about things that don't concern them.
Announces my arrival/departure and whatever time it is to everyone in the office.
Reports every little thing I do/say
Plays the radio on some crappy station
I wouldn't be surprised if we did, the funny thing is, when I ask her a question about her life, she blanks it like she didn't hear me. Yet finds it acceptable to ask me who's looking after my children while I'm at work...er actually I left them alone and they're throwing a party, swinging from the lampshades.
Sounds like the same person.
Thinks its acceptable to ask me if I'm dating anyone. If I say no, "well, why not? Does that mean you've found someone?"
She did the same with another guy. He told her he was seeing someone called Jess. End of. Every other Friday, she will ask, "what's your plans for the weekend?" And then she'll say, "are you seeing Jess this weekend?!" It's like, dude, you don't even know the person, and you speak casually about them as it's some acquaintance!"
Don't trust her whatsoever.
Yes, so nosey probably because their own lives are so boring. I feel like this woman is trying to find things out so that she can use it against me somehow in the future, I've seen her backstabbing other colleagues to know what she's like. Yours I'd probably the same.
I sypathize with crappy radio stations. My co worker used to listen to Capital or sometimes Gem, every day 8 hours a day for the best part of a year. She would always change it back if I changed it to anything else. I wanted to die.
We now listen to Greatest (definitely subjective) Hits which is more bearable but if I hear Abba outside of work I get flashbacks.
Also at Christmas she would play the Christmas station all day, repeating to e same 50 songs none stop. Apparently I don't get an opinion even though we are the only two in the room.
Yep.
She kisses ass too of the senior managers.
I just find her obnoxiously loud, and too invested in the affairs of others. Like she will look at the team calendar, see that you are on leave and demand to know what your plans are.
She will remember everything, and I mean literally everything.
He only talks about himself, has never asked me a single question about me or my life, and has a better example of everything under discussion. Been to Paris? He had a one-person guided tour of the Eiffel Tower by the chief architectural engineer. Enjoy reading? He’s had lunch with the author. And despite knowing him for five years, if he sees me in the street he doesn’t recognise me.
Today she pulled a tired health care provider out of her unpaid break !! because she loves talking and hearing her own voice. And she thinks she is gods gift to this hospital.
Also she pisses off everyone every single day.
I had a bloke who would be silent in meetings about procedure changes or tweaks to how we do things, then as soon as we got out would reel off reasons why it wouldn't work and that he wouldn't be doing it.
He would also go on and on about some IT situation I knew little about and cared even less about, I just had to make encouraging noises and pretend to listen.
He handed his notice in when a new manager came in and was younger than him. Didn't have a job to go to, lived at home with his mum and dad.
The super-manipulative sociopathic interloper who whined her way onto our team and who is the sort who would have happily forced people into gas chambers for a small pay rise.
She is still nice to me face-to-face because she doesn’t know I’m onto her, but her phone calls for urgent help are getting more perfunctory: she can’t be bothered to be polite once she’s got her answer.
She will hit real trouble very soon and I will not be there for her.
Because they forget shit that I have to pick up, they are really abrupt and talk without speaking, rubbing lots of people the wrong way.
But because of their close relationship with the head of department, nothing will come of it.
Can’t take criticism, got promoted unfairly (even tho I saved his bacon more than once) and power mad now he’s been promoted to the point he’s going after people in the warehouse who’ve been working here 30+ years, even though they’ve done nothing wrong.
My actions towards him would be inconsequential if I said anything, so just biding my time currently.
Cannot give a straight answer for the life of him.
'Have you done x yet?'
'Well, (completely unrelated task) is done and I have a call with (tangentially related person) within the next few days at some point. It's all looking on track, don't worry'
'So that's a no then?'
'I didn't say that!'
'So it has been done?'
'Well, no.'
My boss? He’s probably a nice booked, but he can’t delegate for shit. He likes to oversee and get stuck into EVERYTHING but doesn’t like to pass on the info he has. Loves micromanaging our work tasks. Often dictates word for word how we should write emails to people. Bizarrely, he starts his reply to every question with the word no. Loves to answer simple questions with long winded explanations (that are often repetitions of previous long winded explanations). It’s very tedious.
He’s away for the next two weeks so all of us on his team are looking forward to getting on with work like the experienced capable adults that we know we are.
Used to work with a lazy prick who threw me under the bus because I didn’t do his whole workload the day before. He also left whenever he wanted, never stayed till the time he was supposed to, wanted every weekend off (it was retail, so it was a pretty unlikely demand) and was super cliquey. If he couldn’t use you or you didn’t fall for his charm, you were useless to him and he’d make sure life was shit for you. Fuck you, Adam.
Working in IT. Company of 17000 end users. Every member of staff needs this specific software on their laptop to work remotely. My team at the time noticed that the company had ran out of licences for that software at the start of covid lockdown (when 90% of the work force were sent to work remotely) as we were taking support phonecalls to help people setup.
I let the team who purchase licences know that the company has ran out and that they may need to purchase more.
A member of that team contacted me and spent 3 hours just moaning at me over company messenger, acting like I personally have single handedly used up all these licences. 3 hours, many paragraphs, just moan moan moan. Told him that if he has a grievance with the process documentation we are following then he'd need to speak to his manager, or my manager, and the person who wrote the document. He told me I'm clearly not following the documentation. I advised him I use the same documentation as the rest of the team. WE have a shared area for support documentation which this person knows about. He told me to send him the documentation, so I did. Guess who was the Author of the document......him. Then he went and purchased the licences and left me alone, but years later even now I'm in a new department any time I need to contact this guy for work reasons, he's an ass.
Since joining this new team I have had the exact same situation with him regarding a separate matter, but now he's Team Leader of his team he's even harder to argue with. But hey, least my new boss covers my back.
TLDR: someone wrote a guide that the business were instructed to follow then got mad we were following the guide exactly as he wrote it.
She’s late 30s and English. About five years ago she started talking with an American valley girl accent and a vocal fry. I can’t even listen to her talk.
At risk of being downvoted, the ones who go off for long periods citing mental health, everytime they have a deadline.
At some point you just have to accept that you can't do the job. Don't just expect all your colleagues to drop everything to wipe your arse.
I used to work with someone like this, but she would openly admit she took 6 weeks off with “anxiety” so she could get her decorating done at home. She did this multiple times a year.
I have PTSD, and I've been signed off once (when I was doing a tonne of extra work on top of my work, asked not to be given any additional projects and was told I might just have to stay late - I came in early every day and worked 30-45 mins of my hour lunch - by a manager who worked less hard than me).
I totally agree with you. Some people milk it to get away with laziness. And people with mental illhealth should hate that as much as anyone because it makes legit needs look worse.
This.
My wife is a nurse and her job is a proper shit show, stresses of 'how do I stop this person dying' put things into perspective when people moan about deadlines for something irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Not so much hate, but find incredibly irritating. They claim to be always busy yet are extremely lazy and have the lightest workload, constantly complain about no-one helping them - their work isn’t as time sensitive as other work going on, and they do get help when it can be provided but they never help out others. They’re also very manipulative.
Oh I work with one very similar. Too busy for a loo break, however when we go round the team for current WIP we all have our projects but she just has a busy inbox and meetings, which the rest of us are dealing with around our WIP. She also blatantly has her faves in the team who she constantly bigs up. When others are on leave she will only offer to cover meetings, no other work. Clearly has a problem with me since she likes to disagree with much that I suggest and the rest of the team are anxious to counter her. She’s started to talk over me now, I just carry on though.
I used to work with someone who has a job that has many moving parts, but is essentially a tickbox exercise that shouldn't take up too much mental effort, or time, but they don't prioritise anything so it all goes to shit pdq.
Q: Has document been approved for X yet? What needs doing?
A: I don't know. (They don't check and come back to you, just tell you they can't find anything).
When you look into it, turns out they looked at the document, responded to X about point A, filed it as complete though they didn't look at point B, C, or D, didn't copy me in, and then when X makes an alteration, don't look at it for another ten days, because it's at the back of the queue now.
I work with someone who is the same level as everyone else but thinks when the manager isnt around they are in charge and always tells everyone "I want you to...." in a really patronising and condescending way. Its uncertain if the manager is staying at the moment an if they are made the new manager I will almost definitely leave.
B. She shows a bubbly personality, but she's a snake. She undermines other coworkers with "casual" comments, sometimes on their religion, but she does it in such an ambiguous way that, if called out, you are the bigot. She wants to climb the professional ladder, and when she perceives someone as a threat she starts spreading her venom againt that person. I've seen this happen 3 times, and she always manages to turn everyone against that person, she even has the support of senior management.
I really don't know how she does it, but I can't be the only one seeing it, right?
I'm starting in a new workplace on September, I'm not going to miss her. I have kind of learnt to recognize that kind of personality and it creeps me out.
There's a type of person like this, you often find one in every workplace. You can usually tell them apart by their bubbly personality and a creepy smile.
They joined recently, got in with the experienced folks and then started slagging off those who are recently qualified, we assume to either get the overtime instead or so he can get them fired and bring his mates in(bearing in mind they're not so experienced themselves)
Let’s see… he got away with harassment in the work place and everyone is blaming the victim for it (I’ve seen evidence, it was him causing the damage lol), acts like he knows everything, and just all round smug. Not a nice guy
She gets special treatment, and gets away with so much shit that would have the rest of us fired in an instant. she also has tantrums like a child despite being in her 20s.
Oh, so many things to be irritated by, where to begin?
- not reading things properly
- not reading thing properly, then asking me a q that they could have easily found the answer for had they bothered to scroll up a few lines.
- asking me to make PDFs. Make it yourself
- including me in meetings I have no real reason to be in
- including me in emails I have no reason to be copied in on
- claiming credit for work I did
- making meetings a thousand times longer than they needed to be because they love the sound of their own voice and are waffling on about nothing in particular
- calling a meeting to read through the PowerPoint presentation you made. Just send me the PowerPoint
- pretending to know what they are doing and being paid to do by the company and then direct messaging me to ask how to do x, y, z. These questions are usually phrased like “ silly me, but I’ve forgotten how to…” “I think this is a dig version to what I’m used to , how do you ….”
Here’s a tip - ask google, or don’t accept a job you clearly can’t do!!!
in short, I spend my days being irritated by incompetence, holding people’s hands ( I will only do this happily for interns or juniors )
*sigh*
Because she comes into work late and goes home early every time the boss isn't in that day. When the boss is there she is on time. It annoys me as I am an "on time person".
I've left now but he was the 17 year old office junior who chucked a MASSIVE tantrum because he was expected to take his turn washing the coffee cups. He had never had to clean anything at home because of his religion and at first the boss (same religion) laughed it off and was going to let him get away with it. The boss soon realised an office full of legal secretaries on a go slow was a bigger problem. I had to teach the overgrown toddler how to wash up.
What religion doesn’t allow you to wash cups? Is it to do with caffeine? If so I kinda get it even though he isn’t getting any caffeine but at the same time I’m assuming he wasn’t drinking any, and if that was the case then should he have to clean the cups? Unless he was still using them and obviously it’s only fair he do so. Such a weird thing to have a tantrum over.
He was a Muslim and he had never cleaned, or picked up after himself in his life. He actually wanted professional women 3 times his age to polish his desk.
Hates a strong word, but this woman really annoys me. She is extremely religious (christian) and I don't mind that but she judges people for living together before marriage etc. She is also extremely snobby. She's one of those that grew up poor and has made something of herself and is now a complete snob, they are the WORST lol.
As are those who demand you don't forget where you come from in some form of crab bucket mentality.
I know exactly where I came from, I know exactly what I used to be like and I know exactly how far I've come since then and no, I have no desire to remain the same as the lad I grew up with at the residential home who's only forays out of that shitheap of a town was a prison transfer (as criminals go, he's not a very good one).
I feel like she thinks "I did it, so can everyone else". Btw she's a teacher, hardly a massive high flyer... a lot of her doing decent in life is due to luck, circumstances, and so on.
Know someone the other way round. He openly says that if it was his choice he would not employ anyone who follows any kind of religion as he could not take them seriously.
I am not religious but for that statement and a multiple other personality reasons and his moral way of working he is one of the nastiest people I have worked with.
Boss’s friend used to moan constantly about another worker. When he retired, she needed a new target and I got the short straw. Went from being her friend to her worst enemy overnight for no reason, publicly berating me for years on end, and offering sweeties to everyone else in the office so they won’t argue with her.
I don’t know what’s worse… the abuse, or the silent complicity from my other colleagues so they don’t get on the wrong side of her too.
Mortgage needs paying, and my employer doesn’t give references (only a record of how long you’ve worked for them) so it’s next to impossible to get a better job.
There's a guy here, that's not actually a bad guy, he's just really irritating.
He talks non stop if you even glance at him and says, "OK?" at the end of every. fucking. sentence!
Been there 2 years, works directly across from me, and I couldn't tell you a single book he's ever read, film or TV show he's ever seen, song he's ever listened to, sport he enjoys, subject he has curiosity about, a single thing about him.
Every effort to ask about nights past or nights coming yield the same answer: He's "watching the [child's name] show", apparently from when he arrives home until he retires to his bed.
Now I'm all for keeping work and home separate. I don't begrudge him that. But in the total absence of a volunteered personality, I can only judge him by what's visible, and what's visible is that he grazes on pot noodles, crisps and pastries all day, takes 7 shits per shift and talks to his wife on the phone like she's a child.
So the person I hate at work is me, for continuing to suffer that every day, rather than facing the discomfort of change and the possibility of colleagues who are real people.
Constantly tries to undermine me or sneak around to be allocated work that would typically fall to me. Has made more than a few digs about my race, my gender, my religious background, and my ability to do my job. But the managers love him so it’ll never change until one of us leaves.
Sounds like my manager 🤣
Create a primary school report and expect me to make it nice and professional with like fck all words and non sense sentences.
Same, bruh. I have a project manager, and in every meeting, he only talks about how to make things easy for him. Like, bruh, learn how to catch your own fish.
Work in tech & engineering... Had to laugh when I went to a conference with an electronics colleague. All the buffet was beige, colleague just turned to me and said 'solid autistic catering'.
I don’t want to say hate. I work in a fast food joint. Many people who come in don’t want to work. I work a lot harder than some of the workers including the managers. They recently talked about promoting a worker of mine after they have worked less than me and not even as hard
I don't hate them, I just don't understand why they manage to be invoked in everything all the time. Even in projects that have nothing to do with them. You turn around and there is 'Steve'. Like a weird gnome sitting watching you looking for a way in
I worked with a girl close in age to me and when I began working in the same department, incoming customer service and accounts calls, she would regularly take the piss out of what I said. She never directly did it to me but would be on the phone to delivery drivers (bottled water company) and say stuff to them. She was never friendly towards me in 2years that I sat close to her. The one day she came in and she was engaged! Started acting completely different towards me, very friendly and so much nicer. The downside of that was I was supposed to feign interest in all the details of her upcoming wedding plans. I assume she was just very insecure and felt threatened by how good I was at my job and once she became engaged she felt so much better about herself. Who knows…
She doesn’t shut the fuck up. Ever. 75% of the time she’s not even talking to anyone in particular, she’s just shouting whatever stupid thought comes into her mind. She mainly complains about stuff that nobody has any control over, and every day it’s something new. Today it’s the lack of external fire exit in our 5th floor office that was built in the 80s. What is anyone supposed to do? Just bolt on a staircase to the exterior of the building? Drives me nuts
I no longer work a “proper” job because I’m backpacking at the moment but your comment reminded me of Andy in my old office job back home, who complained about the west facing windows to HR.
We had recently moved offices from a horrid old stuffy building to this huge open plan fancy office with one side of the building being ceiling to floor windows. The office move happened mid pandemic and we were key workers so we had to go into the office occasionally. It was a hot desking situation and Andy was on my team, so we were all in the office on the same day. The sun was shining onto his screen on a sunny January afternoon. Andy absolutely had the option to move his to any of the other hundreds of empty desks away from the windows, but no. He went to HR.
They told him to close the blinds. Numpty.
I was thinking we must work together until you mentioned the 5th floor! I too work with a loud complainer, luckily we are allowed headphones so I can drown out the noise. You have my sympathy.
Because he is a cocksucker, grasses up anyone who does something wrong, to the Ops Manager. He gets away with everything, usually blaming other for his fuck ups. He (58M) has developed a weird relationship with one of my FLT drivers (22M), who does not like the attention. But the 22M has serious mental health issues (not using trigger words) and he uses the cocksucker to talk to for help. The cocksucker is incompetent but does bits for the Ops Manager and one of the supervisors, who also cock sucks the Ops Manager. The Ops Manager likes to create friction between people and cock sucker like tattling back to him.
Cock sucker has to cover my job, on the morning shift and always has fuck ups, then sulks, hides in the back yard letting others sort his shit out. Cock sucker is covering this week and every day I have gone in to a nightmare shift (glad the normal cover is back next week).
Oh there's a few lol.
One isn't too bad, he's a nice guy, tries hard etc. My issue with him is that 2 years into the job he still makes very silly mistakes and forgets things he's been told multiple times.
The second one is good, knows the job, can do the work but chooses not to. Its a very relaxed job but you have to be prepared for shit hitting the fan and he tends to sleep on shift a lot and miss phone calls etc.
The third is just a snake, puts formal complaints in about people regularly and sends our boss a minimum of five emails per day complaining about something or refusing to do something because "it's not in his contract". Our boss just skims the emails to see if its anything actually important and then deletes them. Utter pain in the arse.
Guy I was doing a training course with this year, we were all learning from exactly the same materials, but the teacher would ask a question, and he would pipe up and regurgitate the material (sometimes word-for-word) but with this tone of voice like he had thought of it all himself, was gracing us all with his knowledge, and my god wasn't he clever. 😌
Some classes we would have, teacher would ask the class a question and he would answer it, straight away, one after the other without giving anybody else a chance to pipe up. Teacher didn't care enough to ask that someone else get a turn (and I don't blame her, life's too short). But my god it wound me up.
>but with this tone of voice like he had thought of it all himself, was gracing us all with his knowledge,
This is actually brilliant and I'm going to do it.
I strongly dislike a teaching assistant at school.
They basically don't believe special needs or mental health exists (they're all attention seekers and choose to misbehave).
She also doesn't use CPOMs and claims you cant use it on your phone (those who know what that means, yep. No idea how she gets away with that).
Nobhead.
Yup, you're right. I dont really know how CPOMS works, but I would assume there is some amount of interaction required, even if it's simply a "nothing to report" which makes me wonder how she gets away with not using it.
You'd use it on your laptop- you can use it on your phone but it's not a requirement.
Basically you use it to report any safeguarding concerns. The general idea on CPOMS is that you report anything, even if it seems innocuous, minor or "probably nothing".
For instance, you might do a CPOMs referral because "Kyle said he didn't get any dinner last night". When I asked why he said he just didn't". There might be any number of totally innocuous reasons why Kyle didn't eat dinner last night. In very rare cases, it indicates Kyle doesn't get dinner most nights and is neglected. Rather than make the call that it's probably nothing, this TA is expected to put this brief exchange on CPOMS for DSLs to then ask the follow up questions. It also then means that if suggestions of not eating come up again, this incident is on the chronology.
If she won't use it, then she either isn't reporting these kinds of things (gross misconduct) or she is insisting on reporting them only to a DSL verbally by email- meaning they then have to transfer what she's said to CPOMS themselves before actioning- basically making an additional pain in the arse for staff who are far more stressed and pressed for time than she will be.
I've worked with plenty of TAs who were unbelievable. I've also worked with TAs who honestly think that senior managers who have workloads and stresses they can't comprehend should stop everything they are doing to deal with their minor, very time limited question/ grievance/ gripe.
You're bang on. Using CPOMs is just...so important. I can't really explain that more. I literally submitted a CPOM report about a Year 10 lad who fainted in PE and said he didn't eat tea last night. Turned out he hadn't eaten for 4 days.
"All the loaves are the same and don't require any different treatment"
"Sir, the baguettes might need a little more..."
"All the same!"
"Sir, I think the brioche might need to spend longer proving..."
"All the same! Excuses, excuses."
I know a TA like this as well. Autism isn't real, Autistic kids just need to calm down and get over it. ADHD doesn't exist, they're just naughty and want an excuse. Baffles me why you'd work in a school with those views!
Has nobody higher up ever questioned why there are no CPOMS entries under her name? That's so bad, great example of it being way too easy to become a TA and the role being badly paid and attracting a lot of rubbish as a result.
Absolutely should not be getting away with that. That's literally putting students in danger. Is this a special needs setting? Either way, this information needs to be shared with your headteacher.
Those kind of people invent whatever narrative they need to justify cruel and abusive behaviour, then say ‘told you so’ when their victims become agitated and misbehave.
They prey on the vulnerable to distract everyone from how dysfunctional they are themselves.
They’re useless at doing the job they’re hired for, condescending (when I’ve been here longer) and dating someone almost 20 years younger than them (they’re late 30s partner is almost 20) but got with the partner before they could legally drink in a pub. So generally not the kind of person you want to be near overall.
People that don’t take responsibility for their actions. One woman I worked with (I work for a cleaning company) would have constant complaints, and she’d blame me for them.
Even if it was pointed out to her, she’d deny it. An absolute waste of space.
She's incompetent and really shouldn't pass probation, yet management are making excuses and will keep her on.
Everything she touches is wrong and I for that reason, I cannot stand her.
I like this colleague as a person but I cannot stand working with them. They are so lazy, expect to be spoon-fed everything. They practice no indioendant thinking, they constantly moan and complain. Every task you set them it ends up being done shoddily after explaining everything and having to provide all the info that they should know already and still they leave it unfinished, after taking forever. All they do is create more work for me evey day. Bane of my life. Manipulative. They book a full days time to a task that should take 1 hour. Run up the budgets for everything but always get away with it.
I wouldn’t say hate but dislike very much, I recently started a cozy office job which I like for the most part except for one thing, the office gets extremely hot and whenever someone goes to turn the AC on and leaves it on for not even 5 minutes my colleague starts complaining in a loud voice about how cold she is and goes to turn it off, I just don’t understand why 20 other people should suffer in the heat because 1 person likes to be “toasty” in their own words. I’m rather new so don’t want to be that person to call her out and be known as the office cunt but I think one day I will have to take the bullet for the team.
Not just one person but lots of people who will tolerate any amount of being treated like shit by justifying it in the same terms the people at the top use. There's even people who are unfairly paid less than me who do it.
This one guy I work with (we work remotely) does this almost daily...
Colleague:
"Hey, do you have a minute quickly?" (2:45pm)
Me:
"Sure, what's up?" (2:47pm)
Colleague:
"Nevermind, I figured it out thanks" (4:20pm)
It was funny at first, but is now just really irritating as I normally stop what I'm doing ready for a call/chat that never comes.
Oh my god, you just triggered mildly discomfiting memories of this colleague I've not seen in ages. I'll start by saying, don't hate them, just really not a fan of working with them, at all. You know that one person who talks to everyone like they're thick and they're the only one who who knows how to do things 'right' (i.e their way). Like walking on god damned eggshells when talking to them, all the time. Gets a right ball ache when you're working 12 hours with them.
My two worst colleagues where: the one who yelled all the time (angry bitter women) and the other one: always calling to give a message she forgot, wannabe leader of the whole thing, showed “our” kids pictures on how to jerk off, got reported- nothing happened- and then she got a 30k raise.
(Context our kids: migrant asylum seekers at a Senter in Norway awaiting answers from the government)
3 months later I was over and out 🤣
He is one of those people who functions as an "addition by subtraction". Everything is easier when he isn't there. Lazy, incompetent (but also confident)... completely useless.
Incompetent but confident is the worst combo. Not only can they not do the work, they also create problems that wouldn't be there if it wasn't for them, but people can't see through the vaneer of confidence to realise what's happening. I don't understand that at all.
Worked in a reasonable high risk environment (drugs/alcohol) and this one dude was constantly trying to White Knight. He often made things worse rather than better and his input was not necessary.
Bitch, I don’t need saving by your crusty self…
The lean on “learned helplessness” and never remember how to do things thus making me either trying to show them once again (futilely) or just quickly doing it myself.
I now do my admin on my laptop in a classroom that’s empty.
It’s infuriating but she’s lovely otherwise!
Our head of business unit. His background is project management and we are IT. He basically spends his time in shock that a short staffed team with a reduced budget take time to do things and seems to spend his tike asking why things take so long. The answer is nearly always resources. He promoted me but didn't give me a pay rise.
Mine is the new apprentice. He’s got an underage girlfriend, who he has a kid with who he never sees. He’s lazy as fuck, completely useless but talks like he’s billy big bollocks. Lies constantly about anything, if you’ve done something, he’s done it twice and got the t-shirt. Takes a fag break whenever he wants, stands next to his toolbox just eating all day. Constantly fucks things up then lies about it to try and avoid getting in trouble, this is particularly dangerous because mistakes in my job can (and has) kill people. Turns up 2 minutes late consistently. Sometimes up to an hour late.
And he will never get in any trouble for any of this because his parents are friends with our manager. Absolutely takes the piss.
Someone at my last work place really got on my bad side. They were *desperate* to be the managers favourite, and at the same time *desperate* to be everyone's best mate.
She would purposely create situations where she could then run to the manager to report everyone else. Once you knew what she was like, it was easier to avoid. But not long after I started, she came to me near the end of the shift and asked if I'd like to go for an extra cigarette break. I said I don't think I'm allowed to go. Her reply was "well I'm the team leader, there's only me here, I say you can go, and I'll come with you for one". So we went for a cigarette. Next day I'm in the office getting a bollocking for having an extra cigarette break!
That is only one example of the countless things she did to get others in trouble. She nearly got me and 5 other people fired for fake allocations of abuse.
I definitely don’t hate this person, they are a very nice person but they do some things that I hate… I am their team leader in a small office and can be having a conversation with someone and they have to interrupt to give their opinion. I sit in a small office within a larger office and rather then get up to come and ask me a question they will shout from the far side of the larger office to me in the small office and if I say I can’t hear them they will just shout louder! They also talk with food in their mouth, this is something that makes me feel physically sick and the whole team know I can’t stand it (look up misophonia if you don’t understand what I mean)… they will ask me a question and put food in their mouth whilst asking the question! Not only does it make me feel ill, it’s also incredibly bad manners. I have actually shouted at them once because they did it multiple times!
Wow! That feels good to get it off my chest!
Older guy, not diagnosed but very very clearly also autistic, he's a guy who likes having a system to his work but HIS SYSTEMS ARE INFERIOR, they're not too bad I can work with them but the neurotypical staff struggle, and he won't take suggestions to change his systems to the point of denying obvious problems. Part of this is he's a brick shit house so if something is physically hard and stressful to do he just goes "I'm fine with it, you're doing it wrong, watch me" then he proceeds to do exactly what I/others were doing but just brutes through it.
Still, he explains it in a super itemized and procedural way that *is* music to my ears so I don't hate him, think if he got diagnosed he might be much better at working around his issues, but trying to get an old stubborn autistic person to admit he's autistic after 5 decades of not being autistic is hard, my dads not very stubborn and it was hard enough with him, we don't like change!
Acts all matey with you while ruthlessly slagging someone else off.
Next minute they are all chummy with the said person so you know you're getting the same treatment.
Such a twat.
She is incredibly vain, borderline alcoholic and thinks she is the main character. She has three children and so blatantly favours her son, it makes me feel sad for the others. She recently got quite a big promotion and the way she talks to other staff members is insufferable. Everyone says how up her own ass she is, but nobody dare say anything lest she go off for 6 months again to “protect her peace”
Reading some comments just solidifies I am probably just overly sensitive.
Don't hate the guy, but definitely dislike him. Feel he purposely ignores my opinion, or rewords it and claims as his own. I think he has a filter where he is just choosing to not treat me the same way as he treats others. Blahhhhhhh.
She lies constantly, contradicts herself, will argue with the person she dislikes for the sake of it (see points 1 & 2) & is constantly looking for ways to make people look bad.
Brown nosers and sycophants get my goat, we have a temp with us that previously climbed so far every managers arse his toenails were barely visible, he’s doing it again, plus states he would throw anyone under a bus for a full time job. Utter prick.
My colleague talks constantly about her family, she shows everyone photos of them, even though they aren't interested. She takes photos of everything she buys, i.e furniture, curtains, pictures, and insists on showing them off too. She's an entitled attention seeker, boasts about holidays she's going on, and how much things cost. It's a long day working with her.
I don't hate anyone in with but we've a few who irritate.
One just never shuts the fuck up during a conversation, which is basically just a monologue. They must breathe out of their arse.
Fat person who smells.
Too many ignorant cunts who'll walk into the office first thing and not acknowledge you. This pisses me off more than anything else. Like how fucking hard is it to say good morning or hello. Every one of them is a millennial 🙄
>Too many ignorant cunts who'll walk into the office first thing and not acknowledge you. This pisses me off more than anything else. Like how fucking hard is it to say good morning or hello. Every one of them is a millennial
I am a millennial (birthday betwwen 1981 and 1996) and find it is the Gen Zs that don't say that.
There's a whole team of people in my office who have the loudest clicking mechanical gaming keyboards they could possibly find, and they all type really fast. Sounds like an army of demented fucking woodpeckers.
Even my noise cancelling headphones can't block it out. Wankers.
I once worked for a small company. We used to take it in turns to make the tea/coffee.
All except one. He never did. He would rather die of thirst than make drinks for everyone else.
One week I gave him decaff Monday to Thursday. Friday he got double strength Columbian.
Come the afternoon he was outside having a full on panic attack, paper bag, the whole works.
I didn't feel guilty, in fact I was quite proud.
Here to represent the 'i hate tea rounds' crowd.
Never make a round... But absolutely never accept a round. I see that the rounds are uneven and wouldn't want to seem selfish so I know I'd over compensate & make half the rounds.
Also, sometimes I'm mid problem and just want to grab a quick coffee mid thought, that's impossible if I then have 8 orders shouted my way!
Lone wolf coffee gang
He took my work and passed it off as his own. Got major praise etc. I didn’t call him out, because at the time he was a senior to me, and I was new.
He also sent an email dissing something I created and shared with the wider team. Others in the team liked what I’d done and use the model to this very day.
So, I don’t hate him, per se, but he’s a dick and I ignore him. Maybe a smidge of hate…
I got a phone call from a slightly more senior person asking a question about a piece of work that I did but he took credit for I was in a particularly grumpy mood so replied " if you had done the work like you have been telling everyone you would know the fucking answer".
I then heard lots of laughter from a group of people, he had called from a meeting in the Engineering Director's office on a squawk box. I was invited in to explain the issue and then get a bollocking for "lack of respect", followed by a "good work, keep it up" from the Director
It ended beautifully though, wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up reporting to you which would fully complete the circle of idiocy. Unless you work where I do, idiocy seems to get promoted!
Was a long long time ago early in my career and was a teaching moment for me, from the day I started managing people I decided that my job was to give the credit to my team when things went well and take responsibility when things went not so well
What a knob! Also a rollercoaster of a result!
My quiet satisfaction comes from the fact I am now senior to the dude, so he can stick his head in a sandwich and eat it.
You need to be specific. I hate everyone equally and without discrimination. That’s pretty much the end result from the recent DEI educational drive over the last few years.
Not hate just tired of.
They use to be a head teacher and every conversation ends in how hard it was when they worked at a school.
Not ragging on teachers cos it is hard but half of the stuff they come out with is dross, it's just shoehorning it in at every opportunity.
It's still all of their identity and it's doing my head in.
Not hate but I’m getting there…new guy started at a busy time for his department so I helped out as much as possible. He got time off during the busy period because he was missing his girlfriend. It’s now a month on from when they were busy and it’s me that’s neck deep now. He’s sitting going on about how he’s not done anything today (at 1pm), asking me to do things that are 100% his job and he clearly has capacity for and phoning me asking how to do something and angling for me to just say I’d do it. Nothing major but just rubs up the wrong way. He also said he doesn’t want to be here next year & wants to get a new job within 6 months. It’s like you’ve not had probation yet, why are you telling anyone that and secondly, that’s such a dick move when we’re a small company, he knows his role takes time to learn & he’d leave us high and dry for the busy time of year. He also doesn’t drive, has no intention to do so but moans about his commute and always hints for lifts. I thought this was a first full time job but he’s in his mid thirties.
There’s no need to talk that loudly to someone who is sitting right next to you, especially in an open-plan office, especially when you’re complaining that you shouldn’t have to pay tax on the shares daddy got you
Worked with a guy once - competent, great at calling bs in meetings, fair manager, everything good. Except when he was on a phone call - you could hear it on the whole floor. And no matter how much everyone went and demonstratively closed doors around him, it made no difference: "HELLO?! YES, I'M CALLING BACK ABOUT YOUR PAPER YOU JUST SENT ME..\*half an hour conversation\*".
We have a few people, typically project managers, who talk at a shouting volume whenever they’re on the phone or a teams call. It’s kinda funny to see management gradually move them further away every time we have a desk reshuffle, one has ended up in the far corner of the room. It’s less funny to be sat anywhere near them and have to wear noise cancelling headphones at all times.
Lazy, clever (in a bad way), not seeing he got a chance of his life, doing everything to do nothing, having no care about his own work, clueless, stagnetaed... There's more...
He is supremely lazy, not just in a "bare minimum for the paycheck" way...
But to the point that he half assed half of his workload and literally skipped past the hardest half. literally didn't do anything for 1 week out of 2 for fuck knows how long.
We work in Grounds maintenance (Think industrial scale gardening for entire suburb sized estates )
So each 2 man team has 1000's of square yards of grass to cut, literal miles of hedges, acres of driveways and carparks to be weeded and sprayed. If we aren't there on a REGULAR basis, shit turns to "I am Legend" levels, REAL fast.
He then moaned he was being overworked.
( he has a small solo round that is 1/8th of our volume to do. we measured on our mapping system.)
My work buddy and I have the discinction of being "Highly capable and motivated"
Management speak for : These guys can work twice as hard, and twice as fast... Lets "reward" them by sending them to un-fuck this mess.
So we got nominated as "The Clean up Crew"
Our 15 day usual turnaround on a massive cycle (the largest of our 8 teams) is now 22 days + and counting because of this cunt.
And we just got our first complaint from a regular customer that we "weren't around and now the area looks shit".
Just found out at close of work this evening our absentee team leader (Off with stress) has been covering for him.
I've been a working man waaaay too long to let this just go.
I know how "Corporate" management systems work,
I know it will be dismissed as a "Glitch" in the team format.
I know that it will be twisted so that WE are blamed and the downturn on OUR round will be held, and used against us.
I know there will be consequences if I stand firm against a spineless company.
And I dont fucking care if I end up jobless, penniless and homeless at this point.
I've survived and thrived through worse.
There may be some serious "Adjustment training" coming his way.
And there be some truth-bombs dropped on my way out.
MOAB sized.
​
Sorry rant over.
TL:DR Mick is a fat lazy cunt.
The lazy b'stard.
I don't mean the one who has lost the will to live because of monotonous work or someone who rightfully refuses to do certain jobs because they're not paid enough.
I mean the one who creates more work for their colleagues because they can't be arsed doing it themselves. They avoid jobs and pass them on to other people.
The kind of people who probably visit the toilet for an extended period of time when it's their turn to get the round in.
Throw them in the sea.
My CFO cc's in my manager to all correspondence as if I'm too stupid to understand what she's saying. despite me being a fairly high grade and have plenty of experience and qualification to back it up.
You might be right about the motive, but when I used to allocate work to people who weren't under my direct management I always copied their manager in - it was about demonstrating to the manager that they'd been asked to do it, and that it needed to take priority over their usual work.
I'd always go and talk to them first, but then the email would be "X has asked for this piece of work which I now need you to complete as a priority. I will need the work by (deadline) and will need an update if there are any delays." It was about covering them if there were questions as to why other stuff wasn't done. So it could be that the CFO is trying to do that, or maybe they're a dick.
If I say something will be difficult, he takes it to mean I don’t know how to do it, and proceeds to mansplain my own job to me. Despite him not being remotely qualified to Donny job, and me having been doing my job since he was in junior school.
Promoted to position of power based on diversity and inclusion rather than merit and skill. Promptly turned team into an uncontrollable shit show of a clown college.
Wouldn't say I've hated anyone I've ever worked with but I've worked with more than my fair share of slackers and idiots. Sort of people who simply don't learn, even after 6 months you would think it was their first day. I work in a restaurant so incompetent and lazy co workers can make the job so much harder than it should be. Im a pretty easy going guy but theres been 2 or 3 that come to mind that have caused me to lose my shit. One guy was so bad the whole kitchen staff refused to work with him.
Not hate, but find deeply frustrating.
There's a guy who frequently does half a job, he'll do the bits he doesn't mind doing but "forget" the bits he doesn't like doing and expect me / the other person in my team to do the bits he hasn't done. He has a hissy fit and gets very rude and childish when he's told he hasn't done something, despite being nearly 40.
It's the meltdowns I mind the most, I don't have kids, I shouldn't have to deal with an adult acting like one at work.
MAJOR gossip. Writes down what time I leave my desk and what time I return at all points of the day to report to management if needed. NOSEY. Does the bare minimum. Not supportive.
I could go on :)
He's a lazy bastard. Finishes with a tool and usually just leave it on the floor where he was rather than put it back in the toolbox or on the shelf. On the rare occasion he'll put something away he doesn't put it back in it's spot so I have to go searching for it. Takes about 20 minutes of smoke breaks every hour as well as regular stoppages to just was TikTok clips. Tries to half arse everything he does so he can finish a task quickly, not thinking of the ramifications down the line that will make later tasks harder. Damages shit all the time because if he has one free hand he'll walk or drive around the site with his phone in the spare hand watching TikTok.
The wobble gob that sits next to me, all I hear with my headphones on is her whomping on about utter shite. Haven’t a clue if she’s talking to me or talking to herself out loud. I presume the latter. Does my tits right in.
Becuase she’s a lying liar who lies. She will ask you for help and throw it in your face. Eg will say “how do you do this”. Will do the complete opposite of what you sha then say “well yaseuk helped me. It’s her fault”.
If you don’t help her she will cry and saying she’s being isolated (bearing in mind I don’t help Becuase of the situation above)
She’s 55
The person that says they understand, but don't understand and won't ask for help, even when it's so freaking obvious they don't get it and you ask multiple times and then when the thing should have been done you have to explain the thing again but now you're just going to do the work because I'm not waiting another 3 weeks for something that I could have done in 5 minutes but didn't because someone else needs to learn how to do it, but maybe next next next next time right...right?
I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
Started at the same time with similar experience. I’m permanent and they are temporary, they then get promoted so that they become permanent as staff retention is an issue in this place. Joys of being a nurse! They spend their days rolling around the on the floor (I wish I was joking) while I have to clear up their shoddy work. Especially when our manager tells me to work harder as she is my superior and I’m there to support her.
"That's not my job". Them. Not funny when they ask for a stapler and I send them an email with my contract and the subject is "stapler logistics isn't my job". Fucking cunt
Because no matter what we’re talking about when she arrives she just starts talking about what she wants to talk about butting in mid sentence. And it’s always the same conversations, we’ve been told about her not having curtain poles up in her new house and her getting the stairs repainted every day for the last 3 weeks. It sucks the life out of everyone to the point now I avoid her at all costs
She made a big thing when she first joined the team as my manager that she was "blunt". I can handle blunt.
She's not blunt. She's the most passive-aggressive person I have ever met. And thinks I should stay late after work (without overtime pay) even when I've got nothing that urgently needs doing so that people in other teams (teams with completely different work from ours) don't wonder why I'm not staying late. Even though our mutual boss has explicitly told us he doesn't expect us to do that.
I mean, there are so many reasons, but one wee thing that really bothers me…
Rather than saying “I agree” or “yes” or something, he’ll say “correct”.
“I think the blue formatting looks better.”
“Correct.”
YOU’RE NOT THE KING, DAVE. YOU’RE NOT THE SPINX SETTING ME A RIDDLE. THAT’S JUST YOUR OPINION, DAVE.
Avoid him as much as possible but he’s the most narcissistic, confrontational,selfish weirdo I’ve ever met. Absolutely in love with himself but he’s the most disliked person I know…
No one. They are work colleagues and mean jack shit to me. Hate implies they have an emotional effect on me. They don’t, they are tools to help me do my own job. Some are good and some are shit.
My point is one of them could eventually do something or a new colleague could. You're telling me if someone had an issue with you, and they were trying to get you fired with made up allegations or something, you'd not have any kind of emotional response to that. Don't believe it for a second.
Lazy bastard who when called up on it will tell you “well it’s because I’m fat” (she is) but why do the rest of us need to do double the work when she’s on!!
Had one guy on my shift was a coward who would never have the confrontation that was needed but would block the passageway/Road so no one else could step in, solve the problem and then criticise him for his inaction.
I also got a malicious complaint and he made up that he had witnessed me do something else just to add to my stress, fortunately was quickly told to shut the fuck up.
-Self-appointed manager. Will boss people around when she has absolutely 0 authority to do so, all while acting like she is doing “the most”.
-Takes over other peoples’ jobs, fucking up how the day flows (context - I work in a medical field where no two days are the same)
-Watchest tik tok/videos out loud at lunch time with no headphones
-Complains about her health whilst eating terribly (I’m talking about having a whole sticky toffee pudding at lunch on top of crisps and a sandwich).
-Makes impulsive purchases/financially unwise decisions while ignoring a massive debt she has built up.
-Is just very loud.
He's a bellend, he bullies his staff, he thinks he's an expert but he's actually crap at his job. He thinks he's a Slytherin but he's actually a squib (metaphorical, I don't think we're actually living in the fictional Harry Potter universe). He is extremely disparaging about people who are actually doing a very good job and he's the reason so many of our staff have left in the past two years.
I have that exact type of guy as a manager at the moment. Doesn't help that there's also allegations of him being creepy towards younger female staff in his prior workplace, something which has translated to our current teams as he plays favorites with a young female member of staff and a young guy he has a blood relation too who he's essentially lumped all managerial duties on. That and also that he sexualises customers. Truly a top bloke.
I don’t hate anybody. However, behaviour which irks me is where an influential opinionated jobsworth with a permanent “can’t do” attitude and atrocious customer service is looked up to by colleagues and is consulted as a voice of authority on things they have little or no actual knowledge on.
Over sharing illnesses they've caught, they act like it's "one of those things" and not realised they've inadvertently admitted they live in a dirty house....also calling every one bro.
Guy I’m taking over from got stuck in the role because he lost his license drunk driving, lucky to be kept on and just taken off driving. Hates the job, hates our manager, does nothing but moan about every single process and when it does go quiet he moans about the same things that pissed him off from weeks ago over and over.
Absolute cancer in the workplace who’s demoralised the rest of my team so much I’m constantly convincing them to stay because I need more staff as it is but he’s mates with the owner so our boss can’t sack him. He’s getting his license back in a month and if there’s any staff left I’m going to take us all out for a piss up to celebrate.
He'll send me a message on the chat when he sits right next to me.
"Hi x, can you..."
Then a week later when I do it back, he'll say he doesn't like using the chat and prefers to talk face to face.
This guy is my boss.
Not my current employer, but many moons ago i had a line manager who was just useless. Decent enough as a bloke to have a beer with (outside work) and technically proficient, but had zero ability in managing people. Micro-managed issues which were not relevant and was not there to offer appropriate support and feedback when presenting proposals to senior management / exec board.
I don't hate her but I can't stand to be in the same room as her as she talks so boomingly loud and her constant wittering and monologuing every last thought she has gives me a literal headache and makes my ears ring for an hour after I leave. Woman's a hazard to my sanity and health, I'd rather be anywhere than in that room when she's in. Lovely person though, just fucking talks.
This is going back quite a few years now. Probably 20, which makes me feel very old.
The office I worked in was open plan so if someone was loud and obnoxious there was no avoiding them. And, boy, was this fucker loud and obnoxious.
The first thing to say is that there was no dress code at the office. People came in wearing jeans, shirts, Tshirts, hoodies, shorts - all depending on the weather.
But this guy would sometimes come in wearing what looked like a full-blown football kit. I think he did it to prove what a ruddy, bloody bloke he was. This was at the time when people still thought Johnny Vaughan was funny and he did that Johnny Vaughan thing of speaking really loudly in a tone of voice that suggested that you found everything incredibly ironic (I hope you understand what I mean by that explanation, it used to be Vaughan's whole schtick). He seemed to really project the idea that he drank beer, liked footie probably read FHM and Maxim and was a proper lad. Yet at the same time he looked like Postman Pat.
He had a team of minions who he held court with every day. They seemed to find him hilarious.
Once they'd all been to the pub after work and he must have let himself back in afterwards with a traffic cone that he'd stolen. Always after that, every few minutes in the office he'd lift it up to his mouth and make a weird bellowing noise, followed by the tittering of his minions.
I remember this was about the time that the second season of The Office aired. I remember him loudly telling his minions (so that everyone else could hear) that "no one watches it with the same sense of irony that we do." and I just thought...you smug cunt! You're the kind of person it's mocking! How do you not get that?
I used to think that outside of the office he probably didn't have a lot going on and for him the office was life. Maybe I should have felt a bit sorry for him but he was just so fucking annoying.
Because they're transphobic as heck and will often make snide comments about gender. In front of me. To my students. I've worked with this person for 17 years or so, and they are fully aware that I am nonbinary.
My line manager made a comment “At least I’m not Gaye!” and everyone accepted it was referring to a colleague called Gaye on another team who had been overworked that week. 😂
She never, ever stops complaining. She tells everyone everything about all her ailments, including her colonoscopy results while we were having lunch. No one asked. Whatever we're eating, she tells us she can't eat that. (It's all lunches we've brought in from home.) I started eating ridiculously late in order to avoid her or going to the rubbish cafe instead. The complaining isn't just about her diet it's everything. I did a happy dance when I heard she was leaving my city.
Just anyone with a bad attitude. There's a lot of work to do, so don't be doing the bare minimum, walking around all day with your phone in your face, sneaking in lots of extra tea breaks and trying to justify it because people sometimes take an extra 5 on lunch.
Had one guy go straight to the union when he found out we were getting some extra money for an agreement with the MD, Union and HR for shift patterns. Lost us all the money. Thousands amongst the 8 of us. He hates the company and its managers so much, but lost his colleagues so much money from that one incident, which the company then got to keep
Because doesn't matter how UTTETLY FUXKING USLESS AND LAZY they are... they get promoted/ great end of year review / best pay increase
Because they are an arse licking horrible little scoat
Like all the decision makers in business.
He lies to everyone, he's got a split personality and a huge ego. I don't understand him. He told me other lads in work didn't like me and I should be careful around them, which really shocked me so I talked to them and befriended them to make my work life easier.
After a year 2 of these guys quit, and asked me for a drink to say goodbye. I obliged and there was a photo of the group on instagram, the next day this bloody monster of a man sent for me to come to meet him in a cafe (he is a manager and I am a supervisor).
He sat me down and asked 'how would you feel, if you were me and you saw you in a picture on instagram with people who are negative towards this company'.
I was totally shocked and he's basically the whole reason I befriended these guys and he proceeded to tell me that he would overlook me for future opportunities if he thought I was in cahoots with these guys and it was only because he respected me so much that he wanted to have this conversation.
I was pretty furious and proceeded to give him a piece of my mind and it ended up being a bit of a shouting match across the table of us both being like 'DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?' NO DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME NO NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME. And I don't understand him, and he doesn't understand me. And I never will. This is just one example of us butting heads, but it's happened a few times and we NEVER EVER understand each other.
I find his presence so uncomfortable, I feel on edge around him and there's this weird thing where he like laughs and jokes but it's really uncomfortable and everyone's like harhar I'm scared of you, and then it can flip just like that.
I hate him.
I wouldn’t use hate, but can irritate me to the point of rage. We do exactly the same job, employed for the exact same thing.
He makes everything 100x more difficult. He doesn’t listen, I’ll say “we’re doing a, b & c today, that’s it.” And he’ll then do d-z. On the plus side I’ve learnt to be more more forceful and say “no, we are NOT doing that.”
He’s also one of those “don’t worry little miss, the man is here to help!” kind of men. It seems to infuriate him when I do something a man should be doing. He won’t actually say anything to me though!
Two things. When they first started I offered a lift to work until they got their own car. One day at a traffic light, I stalled the car. Not wanting to be honked at for being a dunce, or have the light change back to red, I restarted and got off the line a little fast. I wasn't cross, it barely registered as an event in my mind. A little oops.
This turd said "calm down" as we drove off. Reader, I have never been more instantly incensed. Strike 1
Some weeks later perhaps, I was helping the boss with a model send by a client. They'd sent an incredibly detailed object that needed only be a rectangular cube. I had explained this to the boss and was about to produce said cube instantaneously. When this turd walks over and offers to help me. Sure, in retrospect it was probably just him trying too hard to help and integrate with the team, but it came across so rude to suggest that I need help making a cube. It's 2 buttons in my software. I studied for 3 years to get a 1st in my degree doing *this* job. Strike 2.
At this point I've already decided I don't like this person, but work is work and I'm trying my neurodivergent hardest to conceal my disdain. They come across know-it-all and "well actually" and truthfully, they did some things I realise I do and it made me sick to see how annoying it is from the outside. So I extra tried to be polite since I knew I was a hypocrite lol.
My final strike was when I got sick with covid and desperately needed pain killers dropped off, and they were my only option. I opened the front door to find them peering round the side of the building like they were looking for something. This is mad sus to me and I was done making excuses on their behalf. What were you looking for eh??? Strike 3 don't even talk to me man
1. In his 30s but acts like a petulant 14 year old when asked to do anything in his job role or asked not to do something that he shouldn’t be doing.
2. Wastes time explaining to everyone why he’s doing something a certain way rather than actually doing the thing in a fairly time sensitive job role.
3. Tries to explain to people how to do their job despite them working their longer and already knowing what they’re doing.
4. Inappropriately touched a 19 year old colleague and tried to flirt with her despite it being inappropriate at work, the big age gap, and the fact he has a partner and children.
He's cocky, has a big mouth and thinks he's hard as fuck. Every team night out he says something thar pisses someone off and i can't wait to the night it's me. I'm going to rattle the head of thon boy lol 😆
Don’t really hate anyone in my current job. Guy in my last job had been a kp for like a year and a half, finally persuaded the manager to let him bar tend then instantly started acting like he was the boss of everyone. Woulda given him shit in return, but he was ginger so his life was already hard enough.
Decided to include me and a coworker in a coversation where he was comparing two candidates for a position and told me "X is great, too bad he's a colored."
Yeah, needless to say I don't respect or do anything for him beyond bare minimum anymore.
No matter what you could be saying she will one up you... Be it positive or negative... when my sis was losing her fight to cancer I was given a graphic description of how when her brother was in hospital... Yeah .. no filter and no sensitivity
There’s a lady I work with who is absolutely miserable and has made loud complaints about an autistic child and a breastfeeding mother. I don’t sit with her at lunch anymore…
He is mildly disabled and is unable to pull his weight and deliberately avoids physical tasks, but berates others for laziness and bad work ethic. My job is 95% physical.
He was a disorganized, lazy, unhygienic, greedy pig. I was tired of covering his ass because we shared classes and he never did anything properly. No one likes him. He was a burden.
I was SO HAPPY the day I found out he'd failed his support plan and was leaving.
Because they tell terrible jokes that no one can ever find funny, walk around all the time distracting people with boring conversation and apparently has an ungodly amount of saliva that he sucks up with the force of a professional blowjober who's trying to keep their job.
New manager started a few months ago he instantly tried to get rid of our hot water machine so no one would be able to have a cuppa everyone flipped so he kept it in
The company has a fridge for everyone to keep drinks in and company purchased drinks that are for staff to share he tried to claim the fridge and put it in his office
Even though the manager has no knowledge whatsoever in the role he's doing or about the products we produce he refuses to acknowledge advice from people with 30+ years experience in the company and has actually caused us to lose work because of his mistakes
Not hate, but their inability to plan puts me under a lot of stress I cannot really deal with at the moment and that pisses me off. Good person otherwise
I work in engineering and was assigned a new technician to mentor. I helped with her first 6 month training program and mentored her for 2 years before she stopped talking to me because I got promoted. She then started to bad mouth me and said that "He's not that good an engineer but every now and then he gets lucky and hits on something spectacular".
She never spoke to me again but since then, she's done the same thing with 2 other colleagues - stopped talking to them for one reason or another - so I don't feel so bad about it.
What makes me sad is that I only ever tried to help her and I only ever wanted her to succeed. I didn't want thanking but I didn't want to be shit on, either.
Oh I hate him. Would love to see the back of him.
Farts right next to people by forcing the farts out. Sneezes loudly and obnoxiously. Slags everyone off and seems to think an assistant manager should behave this way. Conspiracy theorist, arrogant, selfish and a fucking liar. I'm onto him big time.
My old boss was such a twat he's such a Billy bulshitter that had to one up whatever you said.
He was boasting about his level of clearance and how he has access to "Top Secret" docs. We checked on the system he has the same clearance as the rest of us.
Kept banging on about how he has a new hybrid car in his drive, someone found out it was his dad's Honda CRZ.
Anything you say, he's done better. We all received an email about an older colleague (50+) from another office who was going to do a 5k run for charity. He stands up and exclaims how 5k is nothing and he can do 10k for breakfast.
Worst of all, when I asked for a promotion, he made me believe I wasn't experienced enough to move up, so I didn't apply. I later found out he was in the process of boarding to get a promotion, and he didn't put me through on the off chance it would affect his due to budgeting.
When I left, HR asked me why I was never put through boarding as the salary I was leaving for was the salary I would've been on if I was put through by my manager.
Such a fucking dick.
She literally only refers to the highest level person in the university on the hierarchy as her boss. She’s literally on the lowest rung of the ladder - there’s not one person below her and 3 layers of manager above her before she gets to this person (the DVC) and she still throws around her name like they work at the same desk.
Lady, get over yourself, her secretary has more power than you.
For the first time since I don't know when, I don't hate anyone at work. I don't love anyone either, mind you. But no one irritates me at least. That's a win.
Not anymore as I changed jobs but the last person I hated made my life hell, gossiped behind my back, made it so I couldn’t share anything positive without eye rolling and negative comments coming my way.
The final straw was they actually made such a fuss during our restructure about my post being regraded higher (just one grade to reflect the work I was already doing and ensure I was being fairly paid) that the regrade didn’t happen. Management lacked the courage to challenge it sadly….
I don’t care if you don’t like me but if I haven’t actually done anything wrong, you don’t get to mess with my career prospects just because you think you deserve it more.
But I won in the end because I changed teams to a much higher post and have progressed and they are still stuck there in the same role all these years later.
I worked with someone who thought they were better than everyone at everything. If anyone did anything faster or different to how they did, they would lose their shit and get into a huff for the rest of the day. Oh, and nobody could say a bad word cos he married the bosses daughter...
I've since left, but when I was pregnant I kept getting unhelpful advice from a colleague. I'd politely explain how I had low blood pressure and sodium so my doc was actively encouraging me to have a little more salt in my food/electrolytes as I had severe morning sickness and couldn't keep any food down. She went around telling everyone how much of a terrible mother I'd be and how I was poisoning my child. Didn't like her much after that...
Fortunately she resigned but it was at the point where I hated working with her and was thinking of leaving. She undermined me, she reframed my words to mean something else then threw that thing back at me. She was rude, selfish, talked endlessly about herself, expected to start every meeting by having a check in which was her talking about herself for 20 mins then no one saying much and nothing getting done. Her resigning made me so incredibly happy. So much toxicity in one human being.
She acts like she has high seniority in the team when she is mid at best, leaves her actual duties on the side, and our manager is completely hands-off so she doesn't care.
I wouldn’t say hate… but the one that resists change when someone proposes it and then complains about the issues said change would address. I worked three years in a place like this and moved on because of it. It’s exhausting.
Not hate, but there are 2 people at work who just cannot say ‘sorry’.
They’re bad at what they do so they make a lot of mistakes which then other people have to clean up.
Instead of saying sorry and let everyone move on, they spend time of theirs and everyone else’s defending themselves from “attacks” that no one is giving them.
These people are classic (bad) example of ‘what’s important is how you recover and learn from mistakes, not to avoid making ones.’
They applied for the same job my friend and old manager did and got the job so my friend left. Really pissed me off as he had been there over five years and had more experience than she does.
That one guy that is slightly deaf but refuses to believe it or get anything done about it, and also loves the sound of their own voice. Has to stand in your own personal space to tell you all about it. Has an option on everything and knows everything and everyone. Has done it all before. Good forbid you know something about the thing they are talking about.
My ex boss (I still work for the same place, but in a different team) used to refuse to train me and then would gaslight me in front of government employees (we worked for gov’t) telling me it was really bad that I didn’t know how to do basic shit.
She learned that I sang in clubs on the weekend and asked me to show her my setlists on Spotify, I asked if it would get flagged with ICT if I was using gov’t systems to access non-work related stuff and she said it wouldn’t be a problem, and then later down the line she sacked me. One reason she gave was that I was using government property to access personal/non-work-related things “like Spotify”.
There are many more examples I could give. This was 4 years ago and I *thoroughly* enjoy my current job in a different department so I never have to speak to her but I still fucking despise her. Her treatment led to me having a breakdown and I’ll never forgive her for it.
Worked in a fairly niche sales environment for a number of years, only to have a new sales manager come in and try and tell everyone that anyone could sell what we do.
His team tanked hard within about 4 months, and at our annual sales conference doodad, when presenting about how to position our products in the market he died on his arse. Cut short by the owner of the business, he was binned within a fortnight of the event.
Useless f*cker with stupid sales lingo.
I was once the supervisor for a small team but had no input in the selection and interviewing process.
There was this one guy they hired once to work under me that I absolutely despised. He white, from Durban, South Africa, but before that from Zimbabwe though he still referred to it as Rhodesia. He came out with the most obnoxious comments degrading black people as inferior but everybody seemed to just keep quiet about it.
I tried to keep everything professional, only commenting on work matters.
I remember my manager asked at my interview if I had a problem with this guy and I wanted to say something along the lines of "Yes, the racist comments he keeps coming out with" but I chickened out and said "I haven't got any problem with the work he does."
By the way, we had another guy in the office, also a white South African from Cape Town, and both he and his wife were the nicest people you could meet and I remember this guy looked very uncomfortable after meeting the racist one the first time and tried to avoid him whenever he could.
So I hated him because he tried, badly, to fire me.
He joined as a new manager, I was the supervisor, been there for 10 years. Basically he didn't like me because I knew everything, everyone, knew the place, the client like the back of my hand.
I fucked one day and he had me on a disciplinary. I'd shown him up several times and he didn't like it! So he was going to get me.
Funny thing is, we TUPE'd to a new company, *they* didn't like *him* and after two weeks they fired him 😂😂
The disciplinary vanished, and so did he.
Suck that you wanker 👌🏻
One guy does this thing where he will message me on teams 'I am about to call' then immediately call me, within 5 seconds of sending it. He's not asking in case I can't take a call because he doesn't leave enough time to respond. It's like he's pre-ringing the phone.
Utterly pointless.
Officious little man, walks like his underpants have ridden up, stands bouncing his leg so it looks like he's quivering, nasal whiny voice.
Plus he stole my stapler
Can I despite an entire department? If so, then it’s sales.
Any bid documentation they attempt to fill out is an absolute minefield of dreadful spelling, grammar and formatting. Entirely incompetent, they get “us” to fix it (not our job), insist on having the draft word files returned instead of PDFs for mark-up, and sure enough they’ll be sent back again absolutely fucked to smithereens. The amount of time we waste when we have our own shit to do is unfathomable at times (I’m currently getting paid OT to fix their shit, along with another colleague). I’d hazard a guess they’re better paid than us, even though we’d never win a bid if tenders weren’t sorted by us, especially when they’re sending out a Quality Plan (which ironically, as you guessed, is fucked before we fix it).
We usually get this stuff lumped on us last second too, which says something about their planning on top of it all.
Fucking useless.
Had this women who used to breath very heavily and whilst a on the phone. I mean #SHOUT
She always had her nose in my work business too despite having nothing to do with me.
Got to the stage I couldn’t even look at her.
She was sick in a flower pot during a work party…from that moment I thought being a “team player” wasn’t that necessary.
She prides herself on being ocd. I sent out a document for her to check yesterday, she ghosted me. Only after submission she screenshot every of my mistake and pastes it into a group chat for the bosses to see.
I had a colleague at a previous job who used to bully everyone, especially the younger women.
He was totally insecure as they were younger, cleverer and nicer than him.
I don't hate people, nobody is worthy of the effort, but he was a total cunt.
Hate is a very strong word but I can’t stand the guy who makes really sexist remarks all the time to myself and the other female coworkers. When called out on it, he claims its due to cultural differences. He is one of many Muslim members of the organisation and has lived in the UK since he was a child and he is now in his 40s.
Because he's an absolute narcissist and a sociopathic douche bag.
\- When I and others need something done, he takes his sweet time. Often has already f\*\*ked off home or f\*\*ked off to somewhere. Can't be reached. Often causes hours worth of delay. When he needs shit from others, he'll send an email. 5 seconds later, a text. 30 seconds later a phone call asking "Is it done?"
\- He's an absolute amateur. If this was university and I were his professor/tutor, he ain't passing the course. But, he somehow managed to wiggle himself into the highly professional work setting. Doesn't have the basic grasp of what needs to be done.
\- When he f\*\*ks up his computer due to his very poor computer literacy, he blames everything and everyone else. Poor me. IT guys are f\*\*ked . Machines are f\*\*ked . I can't get my work done. When my computer plays up maybe once a year and causes delay in work, he tells me I'm making excuses and blaming my tools for lack of professionalism.
\- Everything he does is about 60% completed. A complete mess. We aren't in the building industry. But, if we were, he thinks he's finished building the house. There are 10cm gap between the window frame and the wall. The door won't close. Roof is 30cm shorter than the outer wall. Bathroom isn't waterproofed. Then he expects me, a painter, to fix his problems.
\- Or just forgets to do shit. Like putting the door knob on. Insert the skirting boards. Shit missing all the time. And expects others to fix his f\*\*K ups.
\- Yet, he believes he is an absolute consummate professional and boasts others about how meticulous and super-detailed he is with his work. And will often go on a power trip to correct some issues in other people's work that is technically absolutely negligible.
\- He is slow. Yeah, we see it. We see him spending entire two days on "fine tuning" the timing of 2 frames worth of music. Then run around like a headless chicken for the last 3 days trying to finish things. And says he's got too much work.
\- Not to mention he's super lazy. Often will just copy and paste other people's work, tweak a few things here and there and claims it as his own. Yet, that still takes him full 5 days.
Overall, about the most incompetent, unprofessional, unskilled and unqualified individual who thinks he is the smartest, most meticulous, dedicated, professional and highly skilled person to ever walk the planet.
The company run a bunch of campaigns to boost our digital platform. A girl, who is no longer with us, initiated that and had grown our digital platform from nothing to multi-million subscribers. He came well after she had already established that. He goes around telling everyone that he pioneered and lead the build up of our digital platform.
It is a miracle how he still even has his job after the management receiving so many complaints.
He is paid more than me for the same role just because he has been there longer, he hasn't contributed anything towards meeting the team goals for the past 2 years. Turns up late for meetings if at all, no idea where he is half the time and in any other company he would have been out ages ago... I just try to make sure he doesn't touch my projects because the last time he did it had a negative impact
This guy will NOT shut the fuck up.
He has an opinion on *everything*.
Despite the fact that he has literally just qualified, he is the expert.
He tried to explain to me, a 20 year veteran teacher with a decade or more of special ed experience, plus a Master's degree in special ed, that my approach to teaching a particular class was wrong.
I listened, then tactfully explained why *he* was wrong and offered to let him watch me teach so he could see why I'm doing what I do, but he refused because *clearly I don't want to use peer feedback to improve my classroom practice*.
Fucker got his teaching certificate 2 months ago.
It's going to be a loooong school year...
The person who loudly complains for a huge part of the day. Yet that person never provides or suggests any solution. Also an excuse after an excuse for not getting work done Everything suddenly becomes a drama when it either should be or is not.
Not hate , but a guy used to drag his fingernails across my desk as he walked past.
No idea why, couldn't tell if it was absent minded or not.
That or the guy who would spend 5 minuites eating his breakfast and 12 minutes scraping the container.
Oh how I don't miss the office.
Thankfully there are only a couple of people I don’t really like in work, and only two that I actively dislike - not sure I’d go so far as hate but I remain open minded!
The two people share a lot of traits such as their work ethic being absolutely through the floor, regularly doing half as much work as anyone else but still having an arrogant know-it-all attitude whilst making all the mistakes under the sun and denying that they’ve made the mistake when pulled on for it.
One of them behaves very erratically, to the point it makes other members of staff uncomfortable, and often comes in with weird and wonderful tales that I never know if they’re lying or if they actually believe it.
Starting arguments over petty things that can be worked out like adults.
Oh, and smelling bad!
Not one particular person, but three (2 team leaders and a manager), mainly because they don't want to train more people on specific critical roles, since we have the bare minimum number of people... Every time one of us 5 people trained in those roles is missing (absent, holiday, or emergency), everything goes to shit 🤣 but they always play it down as "it happened just that one time". But that "one time" happens at least once every two weeks. Happened twice this week alone 😅
Don't think they've realized yet that one of us is gonna take the whole September off, and another is gonna reduce his hours (personal reasons). That's gonna be fun 🫢
Because he's a dirty bastard.
Constantly chomping on his fingers, leaves used straws all over the chopping boards? Uses the ice that's been used to chill wine for drinks and never puts bottles away after using them so he slows me down because I can't find them when I need them.
Pint anyone?
He sees me as been over the top but the reality is that he's terribley unhygienic 🤢 and to make matters worse, he's the manager!
They're loud, arrogant, obnoxious and inconsiderate, and their self-diagnosed adhd is not a fucking excuse. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if they used to be a bully in school.
I don't hate them but I wish they were somewhere else.
Wouldn’t say hate, but she’s an arrogant, lazy loudmouth, who always has to have the last word, and tries to tell me what to do, and how to do it. Every time I see her, she’s got her phone in her hand, and is pissing about online. I’m sick of complaining about her, and being ignored.
Because he's so selfish I cannot stand him. When he's telling a story it's "look at me everyone" but when I talk to him he pulls his phone out and pretends to listen.
When we're learning something he'll always try and dominate the area so he's in the job and I am just spectating while he doesn't even tell me what he's done during testing. When I chip in he goes deaf.
Mr center of the universe control freak. Try tell him to give you a spanner and it's "why? What for?" While he gets used when you say the same exact thing back at him.
He's 10 years younger so it pisses me off even more. Brat.
I don't hate anyone but we have had some bad apples and some really annoying to shitty ones in the past.
One I've mentioned before on Reddit always had to one-up on anything anyone said, usually about something bad, she will have to out-bad them and hated anyone commenting on it like she didn't want to draw attention to herself. She did it it almost a boasting way and she could be very cruel. One lady was upset her dog was ill and needed some expensive treatment and this woman was very pushy saying she was selfish not putting the dog down because it was cheaper and dogs were useless anyway and should spend more time and attention on herself/ her kids if she had any. I couldn't be in the same room as her if she started shit like this. She indeed had her own problems at home but she was nice when she wanted, she just gave off the airs of a shit stirrer.
Worked with 2 dentists (as a dental nurse) who were just bad at their jobs, one I just couldn't understand how she got through dental school and the other was a terrible time keeper, not that great in what he did and frankly a bit of a crook. Luckily they don't work with us anymore. Had another who was so far up his own arse and rude everyone struggled to work with the guy be it reception or nurse. Anyone he considered 'lower' than him that he actually depended on getting the job done. Publicly made 2 nurses have meltdowns and screaming matches with him because he was so fucking nasty even Infront of some patients.
Bad personal hygiene and coming into my bubble knowing this. Makes me gag and hold my breath.
I avoid changing in the same time. It's disgusting view and smell.
That guy at work talked to me like I am out of university with zero experience...while my CV would say otherwise and better than his in many ways.
I complained to my manager about it. He said: "not sure what you are complaining about, he talks to me like a 10 years old"...OK, worse than me then.
Whatever is important to him should be an instant priority, very condescending and never says please or thank you. Worse offence recently is knocking on the door to my office whilst i have my headset on (in a meeting) saying 'are you in a meeting?' , I nod and mouth 'yes' he then continues to talk or stands with his arms folded. This man is a peer not a superior.
​
Woman who makes her panic everyone else's panic. Leaves things to the last minute then stresses out everyone around her with her craziness, made multiple folk from different areas cry.
No hate, just think he’s pretty useless.
In a team meeting he every minute you hear a hmm come from him. He has to be told multiple times and in various different ways how to do the basic parts of his job. He’ll tattle to the boss if you take a longer break but not when he does it.
Just a lot of little things that make him altogether annoying to work with
I don't hate them, but some of the things they frustrate me. He coughs a lot, no issue with that on it's own as he may not be able to help it, but it's the fact if someone else makes a bit a bit more noise or sneezes, coughs etc... he's the first person to complain. Just completely unaware lol.
Because he’s a fucking snake that doesn’t do half the work that other people in the same job do and he’s always the person running to the manager to tell tales on people.
Manager who wants to be pally with all the staff but then not-so-secretly dobs them in to her boss.
You can be friendly, of course. But at least have some separation or the decency to let them get away with the stuff you're doing.
The newly promoted manager that was ‘one of us’; that now won’t having anything to do with their former colleagues, has changed their mannerisms and demeanour to match with the higher ups, backs every single thing the directors says without any push back and generally brown noses the management.
You we’re slagging them off and frustrated as hell two weeks ago! Now you’re their attack dog! Give me a break.
Not hate that’s to strong as we do get along quite well, more like irritates me. Everything is black and white, they have no people skills when it comes to motivating the staff and will literally run to the manager over everything. They are also extremely stubborn, even though I’ve done the job longer and no the path of least resistance. It’s either their way or the high way. But as a person we get along quite well and have a laugh.
Probably the most bigoted person I’ve met, genuinely have no idea how she’s made it to 50, the result of reading the sun for like 25 years. Just an all round awful person, I don’t understand how she has friends.
I don't hate them, we're actually quite friendly. But their presence in the office is absolutely draining for everyone else around. When they're in a bad mood, so is everyone else. It's like being in trouble with your mum when you're younger and Everyone is on eggshells.
It's incredibly draining and makes lunchtime feel like it's an eternity away.
Have previously bought it up, and it was taken as a personal attack. So it's just dropped and now it's a given that if they're in a bad mood, everyone else will suffer.
It's great...
It was more like dislike at one of the places , just because I was on placement did not mean I had to run all the errands , just cause two of my colleagues dislike the post office staff, the boss had no problems with them.
Also running to get their sandwich orders, the boss told my colleagues to get their own sandwiches instead of me having to do it
Also one of my colleagues used to have pull my finger gag
Because as their supervisor I could trace back virtually everything that went wrong to that twat. We had to do root cause analysis on all unforseen events and could be seven steps away but it always stopped with him. He'd been moved out of a previous department for similar problems.
Was also a skiver who worked the sick policy to the max so had at least 2.5 years off in every 5 year period. Would come in, fuck something up, go sick and it might be months before we could catch up with him.
Only ever hated one guy at work when I was about 17.
Bloke was just genuinely rude to everyone he met. He'd ask you to do things by saying "do dis". I suspect he was a bit mentally impaired, but it became unbearable to work with someone who struggled to follow basic instructions and commanded you around like he was your boss.
Boss gave him preferential treatment because they shared the same religion. He knew very little about what he was doing but would say things with confidence so could fool a lot of people. Did very little work himself but palmed it off onto everyone else. Just generally a twat. None of us work there any more, but he left before I did. Was glad when he pissed off.
I don't hate or even dislike anyone at my place of work. There are people that I have disagreements with from time to time but that is just because we are all doing our jobs and sometimes responsibilities clash.
I don't hate anyone at work, but there's one person I find increasingly annoying as a colleague (off the clock they're perfectly fine). They just have a way of making parts of the job awkward.
The job I just left...quite a few but to name 2
One is just lazy which is a massive pain as a teacher because there in action then makes it a problem I have to solve
The other never apologises for a mistake. This wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't so good dam useless.i have never seen someone on SLT be so ineffective and visionless
My comment was a bit underspecified and over generalised.....
There are a good umber of people out there who get their energy from hatred, and that negative energy transfers to others around them, resulting in that person who is disliked.
