I'm still feeling resentful - thank god I'm off work next week. This woman at work who's only been there for a year but same position as me asked me last week if I would update a matrix instead of sending her the information to add. I do this on a weekly basis and she was on about 'streamlining' the process. I told her no - that it was easier for me just to email her the info but she said again it would make it easier and avoid mistakes transporting the information. I disagreed and left it at that - next thing is I'm called into my managers office and told I've to follow the new procedure! I'm really pissed off about this. I'm off next week but plan to speak to her when I get back for going behind my back. She went to her own boss who is the Head of the Department and must have spoke to her about it. She brought up other stuff about my leaving/arrival times - yep - I do sneak off early sometime but I get the job done. Livid.

That is an old post and not the same person. She's moved on now.

Like others, I thought your victim in the previous thread was the same person you have posted about in this thread. The fact that it is not, suggests to me that you are a serial bully. You know that what you are doing is wrong, but rather than look at your own behaviour, you somehow manage to convince yourself that your Victims are wrong for highlighting your poor behaviours.
You may think you're popular at work, because there will be some colleagues who join in with the 'banter.' Trust me, they don't join in because they like and respect you - it's because they've seen how you operate and don't want to become your next victim.
Inost jobs, leaving early in a regular basis, without express permission, would be regarded as misconduct and at the least, would open you up to disciplinary proceedings. I would be surprised if you are not now on managements radar and if they choose to take it further, you may find your unpleasant bullying is also brought up. The consequences may surprise you, but sadly, I think you need to feel those consequences before you begin to look at your behaviour.

Flapperjack - Urban dictionary:. An old or older woman who has lost her good looks or is fat, chunky, has a big butt and/or sagging breasts. Shock. What a vile thing to call someone.

Bloody hell shes not a mass murderer people.

Not at all. She sounds delightful.

How the hell do you still have a job after calling a colleague that, OP?

Do your job and work your paid hours.

I’d be pissed off with you didn’t.

Scrump21 · 10/02/2020 13:42

@AndThenThereWereSeven that is vile... But also glad I know now haha

I know this thread has moved on but I just wanted to say op that you sounded just like a woman I worked with. She was a stubborn bloody minded nightmare to work with. It had to be done her way, she wouldn't consider streamlining processes if it meant she had to do a minuscule amount of extra/new work.

She's rather sit on Facebook and leave early than actually be part of any improvement at work.

In the end I left. I was swamped while she sat and kept her own little pile of work perfectly in order.

People like this are the Bain of any employer, bad attitudes cause good staff to leave. They need weeding out.

I'm glad you've seen the error of your ways but your attitude and how it needed pointing out to you like a child is a little worrying Confused

What a nightmare. You, not her.

Gonetoget · 10/02/2020 18:58

She hasn’t seen the error of her ways. ‘It seems like everyone on here thinks I’m in the wrong’.
She’s not admitting blame, she’s just acknowledging most of the posters on here seem to think she’s in the wrong.
This thread serves as a Fabulous insight into the world of someone completely lacking any self awareness. .
