To thank my lucky stars this woman moved on

[NC4THISandTHAT]

Can't say too much as I'll be outed! But a management level ex colleague left last year after a year's mat leave just a couple of months after I joined. By the sounds of it even though she was well liked, I'm glad she's gone as I don't think we'd have got on as she sounded very self important (especially after hearing her massively elongated leaving speech!) and quite up herself in terms of not taking jokes, even ice breaking ones, and requiring brown nosing/ego massaging!(Had to ask her advice at one point and I did not like the way she replied, quite curt, quite patronising, and there was no need for it).
Maybe we were both lucky how things turned out!

Do these people sit there and think to themselves

"What has happened in my life, that i can start a thread about"

Then come up with this shit...

So random !!!!

I;m with you op - bravo that she moved on.

sometimes - often - we have to work with unbearable people and it can be a real downer. You knew you'd clash big time and she'd be a pain in your daily life.

I certainly would like some of my colleagues to move on!

YABU

Riveting.

Are you sure you’re not the self important woman?

why was my message deleted when most of the posts are saying exactly the same as I was, or even worst?

It's a bit of an odd thread it sounds like she was someone who rubbed you up the wrong way and now she's left so you never had to get to know her? It seems odd you're dwelling on this.

YA not only BVU, YA also B completely bleeding weird. HTH.

ummmm ok.....

Not very clever or funny.

Why pick on MM and let H off the hook?

Also, I hate when women are described as ‘self-important’ for qualities for which men would be described as ‘assertive’.
