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.

On the very small off chance this is real - you sound awful, thick and I hope you get fired.

Are you 5? Still at school?

Absolutely twattish behaviour.

What the hell is a flapperjack??

You should get together with the poster from the other day who thought letting her sons bully girls by shouting "boobs!" was OK.
You'd be a riot together.

According to Urban Dictionary:

Flapperjack

An old or older woman who haslosther good looks or isfat, chunky, has a big butt and/or saggingbreasts.

Not doing yourself many favours are you OP!

Oops... don't know where the spaces disappeared to

An old or older woman who haslosther good looks or isfat, chunky, has a big butt and/or saggingbreasts.
Omg, do you really think that is acceptable op?
You are bullying your colleague.
If she reports you then it will be your own fault.
If she doesn't thank your lucky stars and start being nicer and more professional.

RoseOfSharyn love your name

What a fucking horrible girl. I'm a manager at work and if you were on my team, you would be out on your arse.

I had a manager like this.. Boy, am I glad I changed departments. I get the occasional "you buffoon" off my current boss, but I also get told I'm "a God".

To be fair, last time I got "buffoon", I'd just blown up a bit of equipment, and we both fell over laughing afterwards.

My old manager has since gone through 4 assistants.. They all leave for some reason..

You need to take a good long look at yourself OP. Your behaviour is vile and reprehensible. And trying to justify it is even more so.

This has to be a wind up because there no way you can be that thick as to think she is the problem....

If its not the case then you and your work mates are a disgrace. Like a PP said, if yours in my team id have you disciplined and removed .

I imagine you and your cronies bandy the phrase 'I'm just being honest' about indignantly whenever you get called on your frankly reprehensible behaviour as well.

Count yourself lucky that you've gone four months without that poor woman reporting you before now.

Hideous behaviour. You should be ashamed, not outraged.

This can't be really. No adult woman would do this to a colleague.

If you worked with me I'd report the lot of you and tell you about it too. I've never heard of anyone being this unprofessional.
You practically bully someone for doing their actual job, you are a bunch of slackers by the sounds of it and you call people names they are not happy with it, if she's not happy use her christian name.
Be thankful I'm not your boss or you would be frogmarched up to HR and on a warning.

You call your work mate a pussy and you're confused that she finds this highly offensive

I think there's an awful lot of growing up to do in your office OP.

You shouldn't have to take a joke at work. She is there to do a job, so what if she wants to do well and progress. She shouldn't get called pathetic names for it. She is obviously fed up of it now, most people would be able to relalise this and not do it...
You all sound awful. We have jokes and tease each at work a bit but nothing like the names you use and only do it with people we know fairly well who are ok with it.

This MUST be fake...

On the off-chance that it's not - OP you are dreadful. Your new colleague works hard so you bully her??

Agree you are probably 15 - although no decent 15-yr-old would act this way. Grow up.

Flapperjack - is because she sometimes panics about getting stuff done. As in Flapper - interesting I didn't realise it was an actual word and won't use it anymore.

What do you think about everyone's responses op?

Cantdenyit - I think that maybe I should tone it down at work.

She was OK with me today and I'm going to stop the name calling. The banter is harder though we've always been like that, taking the mick and all that.

OMG you sound disgusting 😧 she wants to work hard and so what if she works extra hours? How is that affecting you in any way? How about just don't bully others and call them horrible names especially when they've asked you to stop. Grow up!
