New employee annoying

[Catchuptv]

There's a woman started in our office 4 months ago. She is such a suck up it's unbearable. She works extra hours to 'keep on top' and hardly joins in conversation at work because she is really busy.

She does have a heavier workload than the other 2 women and myself - but boy does she know it.

When she first started we could have a bit of a laugh with her and she'd join in the banter. We take the mick out of each other. However she's started to say things like -'why are you calling me that' - (we call her pussy or flapperjack - just stuff like that).

She also pulled me up the other day - she was going on about some stuff she had to do when I told her to chill out. She said she was chilled and had she done something to offend me because I'd been off with her earlier. She HAD asked a stupid question earlier and tbh I'd been a bit obtuse when I didn't really answer her question.

I'm now getting worried that she's going to go to HR because we swear a lot in our office and I don't know if she's getting fed up with it.

How can I find out and what should I do.

This has to be a reverse surely ? You really can't believe what you're saying is remotely reasonable?

Maybe lay off the name calling. She's asking you to stop it, so stop it.

If you're concerned about being reported, maybe you should take a look at the behaviour you display as well as your colleagues and decide if you like what you see.

why dont you start to behave a little more professionally? in your made up job

Stop calling her pussy or flapperjack whatever that is.

I thought reverse straight away too.

1/10

Well, either this is a reverse, or you are utterly thick.

Have you ever heard of acting like a professional?

I'd give it a whirl.

I'm just sick of people taking things so personally - seriously. I think she's a bit of a wimp and I'm not too impressed with her working extra hours - I don't get it. OK it sounds like we're being mean but it's a bit of banter.

Because bullying in the workplace is so cool.

God, you and your colleagues sound awful. It must be grim for her working there.

You sound a right twat. It honestly sounds like you're being an arsehole to her because you don't like that she shows you up by being so productive and professional when you're clearly not.

I have banter in my office but theres no way anyone would think calling someone Pussy is acceptable.

You make yourself sound like a complete bitch. You will meet your match one day. I hope this woman takes your metaphorical head off.

The banter sounds awful, I'm glad I don't work with you.
Are you worried that as she works extra hours she'll make you look bad?

You sound like a bully and she has to work with you all day

I hate today's "banter" culture. It's usually an excuse for people behaving in a rude and obnoxious way then using the exuse of "bantz" to get away with it. Leave her alone. This sounds like workplace bullying -troll.

You bully a new colleague then ask for advice , okayyyyyyyyy

Actually - no I'm not worried about the extra hours - IMO it shows she can't prioritise.

Calling someone pussy is not bullying! I use it when someone asks a stupid question has no-one ever done that. It's just a joke.

It's only banter if the person it is directed at is up for it and gives it back in return. If not then it's bullying.

Suck it up, you pussy.

You know reverses aren't allowed.

It's not a joke, it's nasty, bullying behaviour. Hth

You are either totally stupid or a troll if you don't see anything wrong with calling someone names.

Have you considered no one ever said anything before because they were afraid of making it worse?

WTf, is this for real? So they got an employee who actually does her job conscientiously, and does not call people names or swear and you don't like her for it? Why? Think it shows up how bad an employee you are?

I'd love to think no one could be this ignorant 😂
