Stupid Coworkers

I worked as a secretary and medical courier dispatcher for a number of years. The doctors (like most doctors) had a superiority complex that could really get on our nerves. But for the most part we just smiled and nodded when they treated us like morons for not having a MD behind our name. However, there were some just beautiful moments when they revealed just how human they were.

Once one of the doctors was at the lab and wanted to step outside for a smoke. He’d forgotten his lighter so I lent him one. He went outside and came back in about five minutes later.

Doctor: L, this lighter is broken.

Me: What do you mean? What’s wrong with it?

Doctor: It won’t work. See?

*The doctor proceeds to try and use it*

Me: Uh, it’s a child safe lighter…

*I take the lighter, flip off the safety and it works*

Doctor: Oh…

Another time I got this angry and frantic call from one of the doctors. His pager quit working and it was imperative that we send a courier to pick it up and take it to be repaired or replaced ASAP. We sent a courier over stat to get it but before I took someone off their route to get it fixed/replaced I told them to bring me the pager so I could look at it. After confirming that it did not turn on I opened up the battery compartment on the off chance the batteries just needed to be replaced. It was empty. The man had freaked out because he’d removed the batteries to his pager and surprisingly it no longer worked. New batteries fixed the problem and I had the courier bring it back to him.

Stupid Bosses

What do you think about a boss (newly hired) who spends the day coloring, cutting, pasting, etc., instead of attending to the major amount of paperwork required to run a child care business. All the staff have complained to the executive in charge and not a thing is accomplished – we are stuck with a crazy woman who is dragging the company down. When asked a question, she talks in circles and runs around the subject until you just say forget it.

Stupid CoWorkers

I am a middle-aged woman but nevertheless pursued my college education while raising a child and working temp when needed. I recently received my BA in an Asian language, but due to illness right after graduation and the sucky economy all I could get was a temp job at a bank. Due to the “confidential” nature of the position (an admin in commercial loans) it had to be filled by a regular bank employee and not a temp. Well, my stupidvisor, “Yvette”, encouraged me to apply, buttered me up at every opportunity by telling me she perceived me as an intelligent, competent woman and urged me to “take ownership” of the job, (which I did, I absolutely kicked ass and the whole department knew it,) put me through not one but two rigorous panel interviews and during the process, would tell me things to encourage my hope of being hired, like “it’s looking good” and “believe in yourself” (visualize conspiratorial wink here) she even coached me for the 2nd interview. This is a woman who goes to every smoke break with the office creep, a guy I’ll call “Bob” with a mullet and tattooed forearms, whose idea of “teasing” is to throw things at me and he whines if I put daily reports in his inbox instead of on his keyboard(what the f*ck does he have an inbox for then?) and if I have the audacity to leave my desk to use the restroom (“I called your desk twice and you weren’t there!”) It’s called voice mail, butthead. I almost asked him if he needed me to follow him to the men’s room and wipe his widdle bum for him. When Yvette was out sick I was subjected to daily abuse from Bob, and knew that since those two are practically doing the nasty I didn’t dare report him, I would just have to put up with his crap or risk not getting a badly needed full time job. But I am digressing from this toxic woman who is best described by every synonym for “vagina” you’ve ever heard. Because yesterday, she told me the hiring decision that she made me wait 3 weeks for: she did not choose me, (there were 2 or 3 other managers involved in the decision but somehow, her being lowest rank gave her the deciding vote) but an internal candidate, (of course,) a “stellar” young man and she went on at some length singing his praises and revealed that the decision had been made several days before I was told (obviously so she could get as much work out of me as possible.) Well since there had been so much buildup and she’d made me feel that my being hired would be a sure thing, I couldn’t conceal my disappointment. She then became thoroughly smarmy, assumed I would stay two more weeks to help her with a project but she understood if I chose not to stay two weeks beyond that to train Mr. Stellar. This all happened Friday afternoon, I said nothing but do not plan to return except to gather the rest of my personal belongings which I was too distraught to collect before I left for the day, and to gladly surrender the temp badge I was compelled to wear. I’m perfectly happy to let Bright Boy figure out everything on that desk that no one else but me knows how to do. That is, after he serves out his 2 week notice from his current position, in the meantime, lying sack of shit, douchebag Yvette can certainly handle it! (cackle)”

Stupid Bosses

I was consulting with my supervisor regarding an error in our printed information that goes out to all of our membership. It was a pricing error – the company that prints our handbook was responsible for this error. I had proof that we did not change things on our end.

While I was trying to explain to my lovely supervisor why I thought we should NOT charge people more than what was printed – though it was a financial isuse – it would effect budget – I was SCOLDED (IN FRONT OF COLLEAGUES – AGAIN) like a 6 year old child. She has reprimanded me before – as if I’m her daughter and I’m out of line – in front of my Professional Cohorts.

Next time – I’m outta here!!! Why does she think it’s acceptable to degrage her subordinates and treat us as though we’re “naughty children?”

She is STUPID!!!!!!!!!!
