This isn't Survivor...
I filed a complaint with HR about one of my co-workers on Wednesday. This is the bimbette who can't even do a simple spreadsheet. We were in a meeting Weds, and she was screaming at a loan officer "I done TOLD you we couldn't do it that way. I'm not frickin RETARDED or something." and wagging her head and pointing her finger, which I found inappropriate. Then she started pointing her finger at me and demanding I go get a book off my desk. I said it wasn't relevant to the issue, and that she needed to calm down. She got that head thing going again and said "Don't you tell me to calm down" and then went and grabbed the book off my desk. I told the other people in the room that I needed to take care of something and left. When bimbette got done with the meeting, she walked past my desk and threw the book at me, and then went over to her friend and said "Between this place and my home life, I should just kill myself."
I lost it. This, in addition to her kissing her boyfriend in the bank, lifting her shirt to show her gallbladder scars, etc, it's just too much. She needs to be told how to behave at work.
So today I got called in to the Bank President's office. He was there, along with my boss, and the HR lady. He wanted my side of things. I told him. He asked me to explain in detail what the meeting was about, since I "didn't stick around long enough to find out" and I told him exactly what I needed to learn from the meeting.
He then went on to say that I have no people skills whatsoever, and that he knew that from talking to a former employer, but hired me anyway. That I had really good qualities, too, but I needed to work on my "really bad qualities." Then he said "This isn't Survivor, where we try to outlast each other, or one-up someone. You need to learn to play on a team."
I almost told him to eff off. They have had multiple complaints about this girl, she is STONED off her @ss more often than not, and one of my coworkers filed a sexual harassment claim against her in the past. But somehow this is MY problem? I was asked not to talk to any of my coworkers until they had a chance to talk to this girl, which will probably be Wednesday, because she was out sick AGAIN today, and the Pres is out of the bank Monday and Tuesday. Ugh. I need a new job. And a drink.
Re: This isn't Survivor...
THAT is just friggin' crazy, Wendi!? OMG-I feel so grateful for my job and my coworkers now... Wow! No one deserves to have anything thrown at them or near them. I had someone go to throw a stapler-not necessarily AT me, but when he brought his arm back to begin his swing forward, he almost hit me. I did file a complaint and told him he needed to calm down. Ranting on the floor is NOT appropriate...
Wow.. and the fact that this bank President actually reacted that way?!? OMG. I would have asked him why this was about you... vs. her. If there was something against you, that would be a whole other issue...
Crazy... I truly hope all is well on the homefront, in the new place, with the mom and dog... and soon---health, for you cause this just takes the cake!
Umm....that sh!t is nuts Wendi! I am sorry that you have to deal with it.
E-martini + E-hugs + E-xanax.
Ditto.
And, I have to agree with Aria...
I think I would have lost it in that meeting with the boss. I'm so sorry you have to deal with these crazy people. I agree that something is brewing, like Aria mentioned. Hugs and
to you, sweetie, this is such BS!
I should just learn to follow my gut. I didn't want to accept the job when it was offered, because I got a funky vibe from this guy. The day I started, I got a call to go interview for the dispatch job, which I turned down because of this one.
For the most part, the people are wonderful, my immediate boss is the sweetest woman on the earth, and I've made a friend or two (people I would associate with outside of work). The thing is, I *know* that other people have problems with this girl, and I don't understand why they're making it me vs her, instead of "ok, this is one more complaint about Twinkie..."
