Never-nudes?
That's a great idea.
There's nothing professional about this man. He's a moody whimsical unhappy man who takes pleasure in controlling people.
If anyone is looking to hire a project management type person, I'm on the market for a new job and have 10 years of experience in the nuclear field, been a lead technician for 5 years, have a bachelors degree in english so I can write, generally good guy unless you ask my boss
I worked for a place that did business between 7am and 3pm (3pm is when the majority of the staff left and most work has come to a complete stop) My boss would come in between oh I don't know...10...10:30 then start gossiping about her day until about 11:30 in which case most people are now sitting down for lunch, so she will eat lunch with the staff until about 12:15ish. So now its nearly 12:30 she just opened her email and is reading the days agenda and everyone else is literally wrapping the day up.
With all that being said she would always complain that people didn't want to stay until 5pm or later when they got to work on time between 6:30-7am when they were supposed to and want to leave at the time they are scheduled. She said that they had no work ethic b/c of this. She also would say how much better her work ethic is compared to everyone else and would continue to rub it in every ones face how late she stays at night to get things done and no one else does the same.
However, I could probably over look some of this except that she needs everyone to stay late with her b/c shes a complete idiot and rely's solely on her staff to get anything done so she can take credit for it. I dislike her and when the time came I quit in the middle of a very important project knowing good and well she couldn't do it without me. Why? Because she made me work 60hrs a week on work I can finish in 35 hour weeks b/c she couldn't come in on time and constantly reminded me that I needed to stay late until the works is done on a salary pay and if I didn't do that then I had no ethics.
I hope this is how you let her know you quit:
Supervisor just walked into a conversation about pecan pie while we were working. Called us into his office and told us to cut the useless chatter. He doesn't want to hear talking unless it's about work. I hate this man.
a bowl of dicks
Tell him to eat a bowl of dicks. Wtf. Screw this guy.
...I was cranky.
OK, White People Problems but this one got me today.
Today was closing day. I handle about $16M in accruals on closing day. Closing day is stressful.
Every time closing is coming up I do a pre-closing activity to help out my division and as a courtesy allow all the other divisions access to the data. I also includes a warning "Tomorrow will be the closing runs so please exit the database this evening before leaving and to not open it until the email that it is updated is sent."
Today, someone from one of those "courtesy" divisions contacted me that data in the database was inaccurate. "When did you pull it?" "About 1 minute ago". So I resent the email from yesterday and politely asked that he exit the database as the update takes HOURS longer if someone is in it. He proceeds to inform me that the way he accesses it does not affect my update. I send him the screenshot showing that he has "locked" the database.
This jerkwad then schedules a meeting with me and his boss (but he did finally exit) for Monday morning at 8. He did not invite my boss. He ignored my blocked out hours of 5 AM to 9 AM for reporting updates.
I declined his meeting, proposed a new time and added an agenda item of their division paying their fair share of the cost of the weekly, pre-accrual and closing updates to the database...and I invited my boss. My boss laughed and told me to block all outside access to the database...and when people asked why, refer them to the jerkwad in question. There will be 40 angry folks on Monday...and the Monday after...and Year end might be really tense.
All because he could not wait an additional hour. Might I add I show up at 4 AM on closing to make sure everyone has what they need by 10 AM...I was cranky.
My (temporary) new boss has taken a "no tolerance" policy to other division riding on the coattails of what the Capital Projects Group has accomplished. He is a 32 year veteran of the refinery. I have a feeling this meeting will be very different than originally intended.No, you were pretty laid back. I have a zero tolerance policy for imbeciles.

This morning peer feedback sent to an unknown agent in my company :
Please refrain to send an all caps message this is not needed, nor any unnecessary additional comments you made.
Everyone makes mistakes and while it is important to correct these mistakes and ensure that whoever made the mistake understand where the error was made and how it could have been avoided we do need to keep a professional tone while communicating about it.
And please be mindful that anyone can make a mistake, you are receiving this peer feedback after escalating this issue to the wrong team and inappropriately blaming them for the error you made 2 weeks ago and created this lengthy issue for your customer. Do not worry about it anymore I have ensured that this issue is resolved and that proper communication about it is provided to your customer ( well ours really at that point as he already came back to us for his next order as he was happy with the swift resolution provided.
Kind regards
PS : please pardon my digression concerning the new account I won today, but I wanted to make sure you did not heard about it from your ex customer on the 1st day of the next quarter, having a heads up on a lost account is always nice as it help us to be prepared to explain why we lost the account to our manager.
PPS : I forgot your manager will provide the peer feedback as per company policy, no need for you to explain why you lost the account he already read about it.
Same guy I mentioned 100x already also smells worse than any human being I've ever experienced. It's like B.O. plus sweat socks plus something growing in the skin-folds that don't get clean. It's so bad that you can walk down an empty hallway and smell that he must've passed-by not long ago. If he leaves a room, it smells like him for a good 5 minutes afterwards. I've mentioned it to my boss...I mean, hygiene is something they can demand as employers, right? Someone help me here. I can't stand to be 10' from the guy but I don't want to come off like the "complainer"
Now you sound like my kinda guy! I would be very interested in your businessI found co-workers so annoying that I haven't had a job in 35 years........ My work ethic was "The company needs to make a profit for me to have a job" .......... Nothing more and nothing less. I "flew the flag", and everything I did was productivity / profit oriented, and my tolerance for those who didn't was zero or less. I always documented everything in terms of operations from my late teens onward..... What worked and why it worked, what didn't and why it didn't.. and that included "human liabilities, and every week a write up of my notes went to management...... and I'm sure many of them went into "file 13".......... Many didn't as I saw changes instituted........... I was the "co-worker from hell"........... You throw a monkey wrench into the works..........literal or figurative, and I'd jump in the middle of your "s__t", and you know for a fact that management will know. I regard business as a team, and the goal is to win..........I've never worked for a publicly traded company without owning stock in the company....... even if it's just a few shares..............
Unfortunately it's a losing battle........the world is full of idiots and ********........ I want to make it work...... it seems sometimes like everybody else wants to make it fail. I had a series of employees over the years since I quit working for other people......... until I got tired of dealing with the very same stupidity........ I learned that being a big shot with numerous people working for you generated more cash flow, and more problems, and sometimes more profit..... sometimes not. That "quality of life" deteriorates with complexity and complications.
I have many less customers these days, but the bond between us is far stronger, and the trust 100%.......... I don't promise what I can't deliver, and I deliver it with my own hands. My income is far less, but my freedom is far more. Customers know that if they have a crisis, I will put other plans on hold and leave no stone unturned in dealing with it....... And they pay well and willingly for what I offer. Self employment is not cake walk... it's a 24 / 7 commitment. If I'm hundreds or thousands of miles away when I get the call, I know what resources are available and deploy those resources relentlessly until the problem is solved......... People know that when they call me, the problem WILL be handled one way or another, wherever I am.......... And that's the foundation of my business.
I would not go back to a situation where I had "co-workers" for all the tea in China....I'm not a hard person to get along with.... If you are a team player. I will back you up every inch of he way ..........If you are NOT, I will destroy you without mercy, and never look back....... You will find me to be the co-worker from hell!! If you cheat, steal, sabatoge, etc........ Look out..... I'll get you! You may not work for or with me, but I am utterly relentless!! I've literally "fired" people who work for customers. "You are through here... You'd just as well "pack your bags", and in each of the several cases, it was "sound advice".............My relationship of trust with management was such that they were done. My tolerance for BS is zero!! I can be an absolute ******* when I need to be.
I'm not the "co-worker from hell"...........I'm far worse..........

Dude, I will HAPPILY trade you. My coworkers aren't happy at 72°. They'd set it at 75-77° if I'd let them.The people I work with are apparently reptiles, they keep turning the heat up to what I consider outrageous levels. 72*F is just too damned hot people, especially in winter. I keep turning it down to 65*F, it's a neverending battle. Even in summer these morons are turning the heat up...
Go figure.
Regards, GF.

My last job had this lady there that'd flip out if you ever turned the heat down from 'Blazing'. We got into some verbal arguments many a time. Ridiculous. This one is actually bearable, but still too warm for me. Some days I don't even feel like drinking my coffee it's too warm. A real First World Problem, I know.
A simple reminder that they can put more clothes on, while you can only remove so much before things start getting awkward can help.
So even though I don't complain about the temp for me (I still deal with crap from people)
I want to know the post meeting update and fallout!
The constant whining from my coworkers.
"Good god why does it smell like **** in here?"
"Omg you're right I thought it was just me... wtf is that?"
"That's disgusting, I can't work like this."
*look down to see i hit a puppy landmine this morning*
"Yeah that's gross, must be the bathroom again."
*slink outside to the lawn*
Fwiw... I would complain if it smelled like dog **** at work.
Fwiw... I would complain if it smelled like dog **** at work.
Unfortunately my coworker who carries around a non k9 version of that smell was complained about by me and I was told that smell is not complain-worthy because it may be a health issue. Doesnt stop me from complaining, I just use less official channels for it.
Well, it seems the pool of raises went to all the new people, as I got the lowest amount in some years. That kind of annoys me, that people with seniority and THE DAMN KNOWLEDGE are penalized for the time they have in...
Well, at least I got the rest of the money I was gathering for the Zymatic I've been wanting.
Wages have been drastically cut for entry level positions since the beginning and ending of the recession (didn't it end more than 5 years ago?) Since then increases have ranged from underwhelming to nonexistent (I understand this is also the case for experienced workers.)
Now that the economy is picking up, those who have been penalized for the mere timing of their entry to the work force need to a) catch up a little and b) be given incentive to stay because others will finally give them a salary bump for going elsewhere while the 'senior staff' may not be able to get the same. If giving you 5% is equivalent to giving 2 (or more) newer minions the same- they probably roll the dice that you'll settle for less.
