Say it here, see if it helps.

I'll start: you dramatic entitled cow. I am sick to death of your bullshit. Stop threatening to quit, make my year and actually do it.

Fuck you Michelle

@MoonWoman69 now reading this is exactly why I don't like people so much 😆 😉 x

MoonWoman69 · 24/03/2024 19:10

@Malo05 Me too!!! 🤣😉

You were on a diet and telling everyone about it when we first worked together 15 years ago. Clearly that strategy isn’t working.

Other colleague- stop saying “may you”. It makes you and our employers look stupid.

One of our lawyers always says this "may you" It makes me laugh rather than think she is stupid but it is weird I agree

@benid I’m a solicitor at a conveyancing firm. It’s grammatically incorrect and blatantly so. Drives me potty when I see it.

It does sound very odd! I assume it is a misguided attempt at super-politeness Grin

To my former manager,

I feel pity for those working for you now. I knew you were awful when I first saw you strutting around the place with your lunch box.

Your Harry Potter wedding was forced on everyone at the workplace - I did not need my one to ones with you to be an update on you making wands…

You forced me to serve leftover stale wedding cake at the office… I only knew this when you sent an email to 500 people in the place, and I was copied in and a rush of people came to the office demanding cake and ingredients listed. I threw my slice in the bin that you wanted to watch me eat as it smelt like urine.

You are a narcissist and really embarrassing, you wanted a paid farewell for only being at the place for 2 years (the oldest was there for 35 years) you are no important and greater than anyone else. You were upset that the 100 people you wanted invited did not attend as it was during the summer holidays. I was so glad I wasn’t there, would have pissed in your tea and watched you drink it.

I hate you and your husband that you claim looks like Professor Snape but he looks more like Nessa from Gavin and Stacey. I hate your grown ass son that sat at reception glaring, waiting for his mummy to get him a stale scone as he is lazy. Urgh I hate you so much why do you exist!?!? You are annoying, you look like a mummified Malfoy and I hope when you die, your cute little dog eats your remains.

Best wishes you goblin.

MoonWoman69 · 31/03/2024 11:10

@DarnItWhy

I think you covered all that pretty well there! Christ she sounded like an absolute nightmare!!! Goblin indeed!

Runki · 31/03/2024 11:25

I secretly fancy you and sometimes pretend to photocopy something just so that I can have an excuse to admire the back of your head at your desk where you sit near the photocopier. (Going against the grain here ha ha).

Stressedoutforever · 31/03/2024 12:03

Sorry I work 2 days a week and recently got your dream job.. not my fault you're the breadwinner in your house whereas I work to pay for our luxuries.. the sly comments don't bother me and I enjoy winding you up

JMSA · 31/03/2024 12:04

Don't take me for granted.

JMSA · 31/03/2024 12:07

Reading these, many of you must be so sorely tempted to simply blurt it out!

I should add that I do like my colleagues though.

JMSA · 31/03/2024 12:11

I'm loving reading these. This thread is actually pure gold Grin

You might want to report your own post @Inchimoocha and get it split into a separate thread. Then you might get some useful answers and this one won't be derailed 👍

Thethruththewholetruth · 31/03/2024 21:41

If I hear you say “let’s see what that looks like” one more time I swear I’m gonna cave your head in. I don’t care about your son and the drama, I don’t care about your stupid dog. Stop making decisions about my job when you have no idea what I actually do. We know you lied about not knowing who was getting made redundant, we don’t trust you so just fuck right off!!!

SomethingFun · 31/03/2024 21:53

Just do some fucking work. I am going insane working hard whilst watching you do fuck all and everyone knowing and yet there seems to be no consequence for you at all. Millions of people in this country would kill for your pay and conditions you snidy, lazy, unpleasant individual so either buck up or fuck off.

MiamiWindMachine · 31/03/2024 22:01

If I haven’t responded to three emails asking if I want to give to Esme’s maternity leave collection, I’m not going to respond to the fourth. She can buy her own damn buggy.

Tisforptarmigan · 02/04/2024 17:26

Jw ugh uhuu
Hah

Astariel · 02/04/2024 18:04

Micromanaging the buggery out of everything will not ensure things run smoothly. Mostly all you’re doing is creating more work for everyone, irritating them and generally impeding the whole team’s ability to achieve anything. You will just need to trust people to do their jobs. We are professionals and we do know what we are doing.

I have a programme manager who manages their anxiety through meddling micromanagement - and generally speaking to people in ways that undermines them professionally. It’s not fun.

namechangingismygame · 05/05/2024 00:16

I just wanted to say since I wrote my post they had their comeuppance, they let the mask slip, suddenly everyone started seeing through their bullshit, they no longer work there so there’s hope for all of us on this thread!

useitorlose · 05/05/2024 05:18

That's great @namechangingismygame

Since I wrote mine, I have started my new job, and unfortunately have one particularly prickly and unwelcoming character in the team I am leading, so I may be back here soon letting off steam!

NeverEnoughPants · 05/05/2024 06:05

Could you maybe once - just once - say something positive about something or someone? I'm sure when you get back from your holiday you will tell us all how awful the food was, it how the sea was too salty, or the sun was too warm.... maybe once, just once, choose happiness instead of misery.

Talkamongstyourselves · 05/05/2024 09:13

I don't give a fuck how long you've been working here Sandra you are not my supervisor, manager or mother so stop ordering me about and piss off back to your own work station. If you spent as much time concentrating on doing your own job as you do telling me how to do mine you wouldn't have to have spent 2 hours putting right the mistake (that you tried to blame me for), you made. Trust me you're not the only one counting down the days until you leave.
