co-worker/work related rants and raves
Re: co-worker/work related rants and raves
Rave: I love one coworker of mine. She's just always positive and awesome and has a good sense of humor.
Rant: the coworker that pretends to be my boss and gives me all of her work to do.
Rant: I have no idea how the hell these partners have kept this business going for 10 years. Yes, I'm leaving. Yes, I'll do my best to convey as much info over to my replacement as possible, but remember, I started this job with a 5 year out dated job description manual and no one to train me. Was it ideal, no, did I manage, yes.
And you wonder why you have turnover in this position? really?
Rave: The first email I received from my new boss was this years vacation schedule. I don't even officially start there until Feb.15.
Rant: one of my coworkers (who's a friend of mine) really likes talking about the minutae of what he's working on at lunch. It's lunch! I'm trying to either get away from work or gripe about it these days.
Rave: I may be getting new coworkers
1st year anniversary in Victoria with a killer whale topiary!
rant: there are really too many.
rave: i'm happy that i have a job.
there are too many rants but i can't think of any right now really.. any that wouldn't severly hurt their feelings if they found out i wrote it online..
Rave: I love most of my coworkers. Two in particular could be me older sisters. I love them dearly.
Rant: I work with two complete idiots. They are SO incompetent, and I swear they are SO annoying. UGH.

I have one of these. You're preaching to the choir, honey! LOL

Good timing on this one...
Rant: My coworker makes me want to punch her in the face. When I ask questions about the data she sends me to analyze she gets super defensive. I just want to make sure she downloaded the right file. She's in her 70's and miserable that she can't retire yet. Claims she needs more money and the health insurance. People go out of their way to avoid her and tell me how sorry they are for me that I got put in her office when I started here this summer. Why they decided it was a good idea for the new girl to share an office with the person everyone hates is beyond me. I pray that she retires next year. /vent over, that felt amazing!
Rave: I love my job so much! So grateful to be working again after my 3rd layoff in 5 years. Great group of people to work with and what I'm doing actually matters. My boss is incredibly supportive and I'm learning a ton.
Rave outweighs Rant but oh how I wish it was socially acceptable to punch people!
rant: they're all boys, and very buddy-buddy, and don't ever include me. not like i *want* to be part of their chicken mcnugget eating contest, but when you invite EVERYBODY including the boss, it'd be nice if you at least extended the invitation to me.
rave: i'm leaving soon. can't wait.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
Rant: I think I suck as a coworker right now so I bet people could rant about me! The girl who is covering me while I am part time sucks. I cannot do anything about it, I can't be there full time and it makes me crazy!!!
Rave: I have a job. I have a job that is being so wonderful about me being part time...
This made me lol. They probably don't invite you because they totally know you and the baby would totally kick their ass.
Rant: Ignorant coworkers. I don't claim to be Einstein, but man do I feel like him when I leave work. A lot of the people there have no outside life so work is their life. So playing 20 questions with every person there about my life gets really boring.
Rave: There are a few diamonds in the rough at work that make it so fun at times. And I love money. That's about it.
