Just Told Off a Pain in the Ass Coworker, How About You?
- Thread starter Papa Satanás
- Start date
But you are, because you did. Myself and an overwhelming majority of people have never snapped at a coworker and never will.
This entire contraption seems like it would be so damn uncomfortable to use.
No. I did get my own little revenge on a particularly rubbish co-worker. Standard useless team leader. Senior status because of just being there the longest. Couldn't/didn't do their job, bad with staff/customers. Leaving early, unfunny, racist, nosey, bad breath - the works. Also part time DJ and wouldn't shut up about it.
A former employee had a one point gifted him a basic digital Casio watch. She hated him, we all did but she just gave it him. The strap broke and he kept bringing it in. Placing it next to him where ever he was stationed and telling everyone (all of us who already knew) how he got it. For a month.
So I pinched it. Had it mounted and framed with a little brass plaque, explaining how he got it and gave it to one of my co-workers as a leaving present. He moped for a day and bought a new one. She still has it displayed as a trophy. He doesn't know.

HR's job is to protect the company. If getting rid of the "complainer" is easier, they will do it (or try). Always be cautious going to HR and bring the receipts and witnesses.
HR is not your friend.
Snap at someone for telling a story they've already told but do nothing about literal shit they leave behind. That's not a "good call out". Being a medical office I really hope this is a work of fiction.

Our office is actually mostly paperless, aside from her. I hate to say but she may be balancing it out heh
If she'd at least stop giving copies to people who expressly don't want it, that would be nice. "Oh, just throw it out then!" is getting to be a bitch.

I will say never. Because I work in an office and unless I was in the mood to get terminated, I would never flip out on any coworker.

Yeah, that was my plan. Write a story for era, but start without deets because I love getting dogpiled. Makes sense.
I don't think any of us want this lady fired. One way or another, she does her work. This poo thing would probably get her canned.

If you equate "you just told this story, I don't want to hear it again, I don't care", no yelling or expletives, with someone flipping out, I can't believe you've ever seen a flip out
I once got into a fistfight with a coworker with a penchant for saying racist shit. I washed him, they covered it up, and transferred him to another department, where he eventually got fired.
It is nice, isn't it? I get in that place sometimes, but have to reset expectations and reputation every couple years when we have big management changes. Unfortunately, my health has taken a bit of a nose dive coinciding with the most recent change, so I've been that guy that calls off all the time.
