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.

You're a nasty bully OP. An I'm sure you'll enjoy your job centre trips as you will be sacked very soon for your vile behaviour

Reported. This has to be a troll. Nobody with an ounce of self awareness could think that this type of behaviour is remotely acceptable.

Sadly I have checked and OP appears legit

You're vile OP. What a nasty piece of work.

Jokes are funny. Bullying is not.

My 11 year old says the word 'banter' though I suspect he has a far better grasp of the juvenile concept than you!

There is something inherently wrong with a group of women who choose to single out and victimise a fellow colleague.

I think you're vile.

This can't be real.

Unless of course this is a reverse. If so then I'm sorry that you have to work with such sad examples of human beings.

If this is real, I suggest you re think your behaviour because your colleague is likely to be your boss one day.

You are really rude about her OP. She sounds like she is much more consciencous in her job than you. Is this bothering you? You also sound very young, or maybe just extremely immature?

A reverse is where person A is upset by behaviour of person B, but instead of posting their own POV they write as if they were person B to see if everyone shouts them down for being unreasonable.
I don't know that it's not allowed but it does lead to half the posts being "this must be a reverse"

Reverse - where a poster posts from the opposite person's perspective then reveals they are the other person.

OP if you are serious, you need to rethink your behaviour! I hope she does go to HR! I'd be careful of any 'banter' in the workplace, it can be misunderstood so easily. This poor woman is doing more work than you and you're name calling and taking the piss?! I'd go in tomorrow and apologise and try to be nice if I were you (and if you value your job).

If you worked for me I'd have sacked you by now OP...truly vile behaviour on the part of you and your other colleagues

I am so not jealous of her - she's older than me, quite chubby and she ain't no oil painting

WTAF, what are you talking about. Jealousy over her work ethic and the fact the bosses might like her more than you. What the hell has her looks got to do with it?

Honestly. This is quite shocking, you are behaving horribly if you're for real , calling her a suck up, think she tries to hard at her job, resent her working late, swear in the office, call her offensive names and now to top it all off slag off her looks too.

And you've never considered yourself a bully? I think you should.

Are you worried she's showing you up?

And

And more

Wow! You're quite the charmer OP. Calling her a pussy, slagging off her looks, getting mad that she's putting extra hours in... you sound really nasty.

If you're worried about her going to HR (and I'd be very worried if I were you) here's an idea, don't behave in a completely inappropriate way in the workplace and you can't be reprimanded. Simple.

I think I can fairly confidently say that no, none of us ever have called someone a pussy for asking a question.

Are you a real grown up orofessional or are you one of the boys from inbetweeners? That type of "banter" is not appropriate in the workplace and you deserve to get in trouble with hr!

Sounds like she works hard and the rest of you are lazy bullies. She must hate working with you all.

So she does extra hours that have absolutely no impact on you, and she doesn't like you calling her stupid names. Surely you can see that she's not the problem here?

Also - I don't get calling someone a Pussy for asking a question. Where I'm from 'pussy' means wimp or coward.

Are you worried that she's recorded all the times she's asked you for information and you've (and I quote) been a bit obtuse when I didn't really answer her question

You are a bully. Are you going to be a 'pussy' about someone else 'saying it as it is'?

It's not banter it's being a nasty bitch. She's doing her job and I feel incredibly sorry for her. Hope she reports you to HR.

The main reason I will never work in an office again, bitching little back stabbing bullies, and I bet you are the leader of all the 'banter' , and if you are a mother hope you do not encourage this behaviour in them, beggars belief !! no better than a child, your post has struck a chord with many because you have no idea what you are possibly doing to the other lady's life, can just see you now in your little possy... the last laugh is on you .

Wtf was the point in posting this bollocks?

Twattish behaviour OP. Pussy - really? Your colleague is obviously nicer than me, because I would have handed you your arse on a plate.

Maybe she values her job and wants to ensure she adds value and is kept on.

Arrrrrr some who "says it like is" is normally some insensitive plonker who doesn't care about anyone else's feelings.

Someone who says "it is only a joke" is normally a PA bully.
You make up your mind.
