WTF...!!!

I am more disappointed than pissed right now...I just found out via an innocent conversation with another co-worker, that someone that I thought was a "work buddy" is actually a conniving, weasely...well, you get the idea!

Thing is, I knew this person had that tendency, as she and I had a brief run-in where she wanted to bulldoze something through in the office without following protocol a couple of months ago -  and as it involved my department, I stood firm and said no, and the bosses stood by me and she was called on the carpet. She apologized profusely, and I thought that she had learned her lesson, and I continued to befriend her and didn't hold that disagreement against her.

So, I found out today that everyday things that we chat about, she has been twisting and gossiping about to others in a malicious way. Nothing personal - as, thank goodness, I don't share personal stuff at work (learned that lesson years ago the hard way), but just stupid, little stuff. And everytime I turn around she is in my office door smiling and acting like she is my best friend in the world...grrr...WTF didn't I just cut her off after our first run in? My Mom always said that when you "put a snake in your pocket, you shouldn't be surprised when it bites you..." So snake, get the eff outta my pocket!!!

Rant over...sorry gals!

  • UGH why do people act so low like that?  What purpose does it serve?  I'm sorry she did this to you!  It's unfortunately a good learning experience - you don't know who to trust sometimes....I like that snake quote too - so true!
  • I have a coworker that is EXACTLY like that.  I would say something like, "I miss my husband!  He's outta town" or something along those lines and she will be like, ohhh hunny, i'm sorry.  Next thing I know I walk in on her telling someone, "can you believe barb misses her husband?  she doesn't even have kids to worry about!"

     And that is what it is like for EVERYTHING.  I can't even tell her I liked lunch because she'd go tell somebody.

  • Right? It is so maddening and disappointing...I hate to have to be on guard all the time around her now...but I will...but you girls are so right...it is low and serves no purpose. I feel foolish for thinking that she had stopped being a b**ch...apparently she just stopped being one to my face!

  • jenif kicks bad evil hearted woman in shins!
  • I can't stand people like that!!

    Sounds like she has her own issues and has to make things up about you to feel better about herself...

  • Boo!  What a jerk!  We have someone exactly like this at my work too, and I make sure not to talk to her.  The ONE time I did, it landed in my face, bah!  I hate being mean or cold, but it's necessary sometimes.  Stay strong!

  • Wow.  Isn't it amazing how people we thought were the bigger person in a situation could throw us under the bus?  Cut her off and don't tell her anything anymore.  Time for some new workout buddies!  :)  If I lived closer I would go with you!!!

  • I heart all of you!!!  I really needed your encouragement :-)) I have decided to only speak with her on work related issues only, and then only when it involves our working directly together. It'll be different at first, because her office is right next to mine, and we used to chat everyday, but I won't miss wondering what little innocent comment has been turned into the latest office gossip...
