Work colleagues you can do without 🤪

I have a coworker who I would like to bitch slap. Can anyone relate??🤣

She works part-time, is the same age as me and does the same job. She confesses that, as an only child, she was put on a pedestal by her father and was reminded that she was special and worthy of all the good on Gods green earth. Great 👍She doesn't just live in a nice house, she lives in a cottage with an larger than average frontage, double garage and room for a pony or two. She makes videos of herself (trying) to sing opera in a high pitched wheeze and miming to popular music whilst dressed in some mock 80's disaster and sends them to a friend who's husband is clinging to the edges of life (to cheer them all up!). She insists that I watch them with great enthusiasm. She constantly sends me long, drawn out emails offering help and telling me "it's okay, you are supported" but never actually does the work and is never asked to help as, hey, I got this covered. She loves to let the whole office know just how supportive and consciousous a team player she is but uses this as a way of never having to make a decision or be proactive. We can all offer but it takes real balls to just take on a job and not talk about it. She switches from being over friendly in her emails to addressing you with frosty disregard to make sure you jolly well know that she is pissed off with you 🤣

Arsehole colleagues!!! No matter where you go, every workplace has to have at least one. I have decided that a petition is in order and I will ask the Government to start sending them to jail and only be up for parole when they pass a stringent exam on how not to be a workplace arsehole.

Are you all with me!!!😁😁😁

That's quite a character assassination.

No I'm not 'with you'. I have one or two colleagues who make me roll my eyes but no-one's perfect are they?

@WorraLiberty well it is supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek, but she is a pain😆

I have a colleague who is a lovely guy but does very little at work, yet brags about his work on facebook and seems to need constant recognition for every little thing he does. So for example if he applies for a something and it's awarded, he will boast about it as if he's done something really special despite the rest of the team having done the same thing numerous times over and just kept quiet about it because it's our job and what we are paid to do. I reckon it's a result of low self confidence but irritating all the same. The boss just goes along with it and says " Great job Bob " whilst ignoring the fact that the rest of us do ten times the work he does.
