Anyone ever had that one co-worker that is just a bad apple ?
Edited on Tue Oct-10-06 12:53 AM by CarolinaPeridot
I unfortunately have that one person (I refuse to call co-worker because she is just a bitch) in the department that I work in who just comes to work to make everyone's life miserable. For the past 4 weeks this girl has made it her purpose to try to make my night and my trainer's night a living hell. She is the leader of the group of girls (I refuse to say women) that are always gossing about someone, spreading rumours and just no respect for themselves what so ever. There is always something - ALWAYS. This one person who is the main stupid head went into a senior manager's office and told him the reason why I fell out one particular night at work was because I was pregnant. So not true - even if it was, its my business. I fell out because I was overwhelmed, and it was hot. If she told him I don't know how many people she told. I don't have many friends - the friends that I thought I had are not who I thought they were. So now I feel even more alone and tomorrow I am going to my senior manager and human resources because this mess has to end. I am only 26 years old - she is 36 - I am the mature one. I hold it all in because I have a job to do. She is low on the totem pole. I am the person right under the trainer on my floor - I worked hard to get to where I am. Last week I vented my frustrations to my trainer - she could look at me and tell that I had some things that I was holding in. Every trainer in my department knows , even one of the managers knows how bad she is because she tried to turn him for nothing - whenever she does'nt like what someone is doing , she turns them in. She is nothing but trouble. I am sick of dealing with this. I come to work to do my job. I don't bother anybody. I am happy in my life but I refuse to let this bitch bring me to the point of knocking her out. I feel so bad that I want to cry and when I cry you hurt. She intimidated another co-worker to the point of the co-worker wanted to commit suicide when someone found her in the bathroom. I want to do this in confidentiality because I just want my peace. In a couple of weeks I am going to a new department , something that I worked hard for - I want her to suffer the way she made me suffer - she needs to be stopped. I am not losing my job for her. I need any advice that I can get. This has to end. It makes no sense. I don't bother anyone. I just do my job. The things that she does is so obvious that she is trying me - I am about to flip out and before I flip out I am going to human resources.

My saving grace is that in a week or two I will no longer have to deal with her or my department. Some people are there to work , some are there to play - I am just like WTH - so I decided to get out and I did. The hardest thing is trying to keep my cool and not choking someone.

But if I ever see her outside of work , I will knock that bitch out. And that's for real.

Thanks for listening to me vent but I hate this bitch.

4. Its always the one who does the crappiest work.
But the company I work for won't fire people because they need all the people they can get , not matter how pollutant they are.

6. And that's the best satisfaction of all...
the sure knowledge that somewhere, some time...someONE is going to make sure that she gets what's due her.

And it ain't gonna be the kudos she's doubtlessly expecting.

Sometimes things really do work out for the best, y'know?

:hug:

8. Yes - I am leaving because I got a position in another department.
I got a job in a department that you normally have to be there 5 years to get into but I have only been there for a year and 7 months. I work hard, I stay out of the BS but that shit has been coming to me and I hate it because I don't deserve. Its all about jealous and I should be happy that I have some haters - that means that I am doing good. But still, I want to see that b---- go down.

Sorry mods for all the curse words but its how I feel.

7. yes there is one on every job.
at least. and women do get together in groups and make your life hell sometimes. I hate it. One reason I am not working full time right now...my insides can't take that for some reason just now. I don't have the coping skills for it because my brain is apparently fucked up. Right now the part-time job I do have I work by myself. The fewer humans I interface with on the job the happier I am.

I do have to say, though, no one I've ever worked with has been worth going to jail over or having a simple assault on my record. If they threw the first punch that would be a different story...but folks like that never do. There's only been one co-worker I was seriously scared for myself around and that's because she was after my girlfriend and tried to mess with me at work...there were a couple of times I felt I couldn't control myself around her and I'm lucky that I didn't get in trouble or lose my job. It certainly isn't worth the loss of a job. Frankly it's not worth much of anything.

9. They are miserable and they have no lives.
I am not miserable and I am just a good in everything that I do. She is just sick minded.

10. Maybe you could write an anonymous letter, detailing some of
her hateful ways and send it to someone in management?

Making sure nobody can trace it.

I was going to say, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT everything hateful she does or says, and keep it at home, but since you are transferring to another dept., that's kind of a moot point.

12. Use the system to get her and her cronies...
but what ever you do...don't sink to her level and don't do anything that will get you fired or a trip to jail.

I have found that once you let them know you are on to them...they run away to find another company to work their evil ways.

15. I used to work with two of them. They're gone now.
Both of them fucked up so badly that one was fired and the other quit just ahead of getting fired.

I outlasted both of them, and I really like the people that were hired to replace them. Sometimes good things really do happen. :)

18. My favorite Uncle once told me:
If you stick it out long enough, they will either leave or die.

It may not console you now, but that advice has gotten me through many a rough day at work. Call it karma, divine retribution, or just fate...whatever it is, people usually get what's coming to them in the end.

Hang in there, and please try not to let this harm your well-being. Remember, when you let the bitch get to you, she wins. :hug:
