Things you want to say (but shouldn't) outloud at work - Page 41

You've been here less than a month. In that span of time you've either called off and not show up or stroll in 10 minutes late or more at least a dozen times. Then you raise your voice to me and challenge on every assignment I give you because it's not what you want to hear. Don't get ticked at the messenger. The direction comes from our boss. Then tonight you had a temper tantrum because you couldn't do what you want. Thank God there was another co-worker who was a witness to this. As well, it was confirmed by the witness co-worker that she has smelled liquor on your breath on more than one occassion. She wasn't the only one and confirmed my suspicions because I've smelled it on you every time you've worked with me.

You are a lovely person and I truly hope that your confidence continues to improve and that you do well...

But GIRL, if you think that this is too much work, you would be eaten alive if you tried a week at my old job.

If this gets blamed on me, I'm going to scream.

Also - I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW TONIGHT! NENER-NENER-NENER!

Good luck, AF! I hope it works out for the best because turning in your resignation letter at a job that drives you crazy is very freeing.

Now I feel like a jerk because the girl I referenced in my last post sent me a really nice compliment...

Thanks! The interview went well - he ended by saying "I like what I heard" and he didn't even blink at my current salary. On top of just NOT.BEING.HERE. (my current job), this one is LESS than 3 miles from my house, a much bigger company with room for growth, and a much more focused position. While I do like the variety of my current job, it sucks that because of the variety, my boss expects me to have my nose in everything. She's such a busybody noseypants.

I think it's adorable that you think you're being healthy - but Vegan Chocolate Cake is still cake.

And so, no thank you.

I GOT A SECOND INTERVIEW!!!

I'm excited since he told me in the last interview that he had just started the process, so I can't imagine he's seen many other people. But I'm also a bit scared, and not about the interview...as much as I loathe my current employment (and I do), I've been here over 8 years, and this would be my first ever "adult" job change. It's going from safe and steady (I'd pretty much have to commit a felony against my company to get fired) to the unknown.

Congrats!

What I want to say...

You realize that newspaper is a dying medium, yes? And in a small town, I'm sure you're hurting for revenue, right?

Talk to me like that again when I ask you a simple question (politely) and we'll see if you make the plan next year.

Let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly....you've passed me over for a promotion, not once, not twice, but three times...and now that these people have screwed up royally and the partners are screaming, you want me to wave my magic wand and magically fix things?!? Oh, and the screw ups are so epically critical you call me on a day off to beg me to come in early the rest of the week and work this weekend?! Go pound sand; as soon as my background check comes back, I'm giving notice and taking a new job. Cannot wait.

GET OFF YOUR PHONE AND CONDUCT BUSINESS!!!!!

Sadfly · #**613** 08-09-2013, 07:46 PM

I gave you the draft memo months ago. You even wanted me to double check info so I am assuming you were reading the memo at the time?

So months later, you give me permission to send out the memo...and then bitch to me that there is something wrong!

WELL EXCUSE ME! I gave you the documentation, not my fault you and your boss didn't read it like I though you would

chitownxo · #**614** 08-12-2013, 09:21 PM

Holy counter-offer, Batman! Now what do I do?

Customer: Where are these lobsters from?

Me a department away: The ocean!
