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.

Stop using "all women" as a phrase constantly, no not all women are emotional and are obsessed with shopping and nag. Saying it as a joke doesn't make it any better. Stop saying sexual innuendos and jokes they aren't funny and it's inappropriate even if it's not directed at anyone. If my job weren't dependant on yours I would have spoken up or reported you a million times by now and I can't wait until I'm in a position I can leave! Also no our colleague is not unreasonable to have had a week off work when her aunt died, even if you think she "would never have done it before".

You're a manipulative liar and one day I'll have enough evidence to get you fired!

G5000 · 19/03/2024 13:20

You have an actual narcissistic personality disorder and you're making everybody else's life miserable. You're a rude, deeply unpleasant person to work with. You're a micromanager and whenever you get a new hire, it takes you just a few months to turn a competent specialist into a shaking scared mouse who doesn't even know what their own name is. I've been trying to 'sell' to you competitors so someone makes you a better offer, but your reputation precedes you and nobody else will hire you.

FutureFeelsBleak · 19/03/2024 13:36

No, I don't want to hear you mansplain AI to me. AGAIN.

DramaAlpaca · 19/03/2024 13:38

You are a lazy mare. The only reason you take three weeks off sick every time you have a minor sniffle is because you have been in the same public sector job for thirty years and you get away with it, every time. It wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else. Oh, and when you are in the office you're lazy, and when you say you are working from home we all know you're not.

CrushingOnRubies · 19/03/2024 13:40

You are the most self entitled, materialistic manipulative cow I've ever met. And that's coming from me and I can have my moments . A mutal acquaintance was right about you.

meatyryvita · 19/03/2024 13:40

I have NO idea why you were given the core values project when EVERYONE knows that you don't follow them, you self-important twat. I have no idea why you are seemingly Teflon and you are right, they will never fire you, regardless of what you do or say.

theothercatpurred · 19/03/2024 13:41

Please, for crying out loud, stop sending me instructions on how to do things that have been written by fucking Chat GPT, most especially when it's for tasks where I have literally decades of experience and you have none.

Do you have any idea how insulting and demoralising this is?

If you want guidance on how to do XYZ, or how to instruct people to do XYZ, why not ask the people on your team with experience instead of a fucking bot that has zero idea what it's churning out? It's OK to say you don't know, or don't have the time, I won't lose respect for you for asking, quite the contrary.

Chat GPT has its uses, but this really isn't it. I want to be managed by a person, not a fucking mindless robot, please.

UraniumArthur · 19/03/2024 13:43

You are a slimy little shit. You know that snivelling little character in Lord of the Rings, Wormtongue. That's you that is.

Tracker1234 · 19/03/2024 13:50

I worked as a supplier to public sector. The slacking and people off sick taking the piss was out of this world. No one senior used to do anything to address. After all it was only the good old taxpayers who were funding this!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/03/2024 13:54

Why couldn't you see how workshy and useless your favourite was? I had to pick up so much because "she just doesn't have time". Two years later you were giving her credit for the work I did, forgetting she simply opened the file before I had to take over.

And no she didn't work extra for her notice to help us out. She used the Christmas shutdown as half her month's notice period and actually only "worked" 2 weeks of it.

You dared to sign her leaving card on my behalf because it was done on my day off. You knew we couldn't stand each other & I had no intention of signing it.

Her replacement was brilliant and had to sort out loads of stuff that should have been done months before. Yet you were still singing your favourite's praises.

So blinkered it's untrue.

TroysMammy · 19/03/2024 13:57

You do realise that all those Monday bank holidays you've had paid should have been pro rata and you shouldn't have had them off in addition to your holiday entitlement for the last 3 years?

PTSDBarbiegirl · 19/03/2024 13:59

I am not interested in the job you covet. Just because you are intensely threatened by me and behave like a 12 yr old does not mean I need to appear less capable, talented and knowledgeable to appease you. I literally cannot walk behind you on a staircase you insufferable cunt.

I have a situation like this as well. I've made it clear that I do not want to go full time and do not want the promotion that was offered to me but the person who did get it is clearly unable to cope that i was offered it first. I'm not a threat to them in any way.

CaramelMac · 19/03/2024 14:05

You’re a weak manager and you only got the job over me because you’re friends with the boss and she told you what questions would be in the interview and what answers to give, I know I could’ve done the best interview in the world and I wouldn’t have got it, but you wanted the job so stop trying to get me to do it for you. You cannot effectively manage a team of new starters who’ve never worked in an office before when you are working from home, you need to actually come in to the office and be present to do your job.

Notcms · 19/03/2024 14:07

Move your cars from blocking my driveway.
It's not my problem you have 5 cars and 2 spaces 🤬

Peckhampalace · 19/03/2024 14:28

An old one but it still rankles.
You are not being bullied or picked on, your work is not up to standard and people are trying to help you improve not criticise you (2 informal allegations, 1 informal but involved HR, 1 full on HR investigation - all against different people, formal HR found against her). Long hours do not merit an outstanding review, quality work does, and finally, being a "nice person" doesn't make you good at your job...you are not nice, have poor time management, don't understand basic things about your role and I wish I had at least extended your probation (probably would have resulted in another bullying allegation though).

knittingball · 19/03/2024 14:32

Stop going on about wanting to be an older mum like its a bloody trend.
Why are you trying for a baby at 46 when you have grown up children.
No one in the office cares ffs.
Every day on and on on how your gonna be an older mum we all nod and smile but really we dont give a toss.

NeonHalo · 19/03/2024 14:37

Stop doing the school run during working hours and then claiming to “work from home” for rest of the day (we all know you aren’t actually working and are clearly not willing to pay for wrap around care)

This and having a phone on you making you 'contactable' IS NOT the same as working.

SherrieElmer · 19/03/2024 14:40

Fix your BO, you bastard.

juniorspesh · 19/03/2024 14:40

You were so vile that when I left my friend's sister who worked in the same large company 10 years ago and had no idea what department I was in said "oh, I hope for your sake you didn't ever cross paths with E M**".

Ginnnny · 19/03/2024 14:44

Stop trying to bully me all the time you useless piece of shit. We both know I'm better at my job than you, but there's no need to be an absolute twat about it. Oh and brush your teeth, your mouth fucking stinks.

You're not sick. If you were genuinely sick you wouldn't get ill the same week each year and make a miraculous recovery just in time for your sick pay to drop.

If you were sick you would engage with your colleagues when you are here and do some bloody work. You certainly wouldn't pick and choose which tasks you do based on what you can be bothered to do. It's all computer based so there's no excuse for doing some stuff and not others.

You only get away with this nonsense because it's the public sector. You wouldn't last five minutes in the private sector. We're all fed up of picking up your slack and wish you would fuck off.

I've worked with this one too

Never seen the like of it

Zero guilt
