A note to my coworker ... (2 Viewers)

[Sack-Religious]

Dear new girl;

You're not cute enough to make up for your irritating qualities.

Your high-pitched and shrill voice is grating. Especially when it goes up an octave or two when you're trying to be cute talking to guys in the office.

You yawn. Loud.

You chew and smack your food. Loud.

I could almost look past these until I heard you sneeze, which you do 3+ times a day. It's not so much that you sneeze, it's that everytime you sneeze out comes "Ahh-chooo-ey." There's no way this is natural. You probably started putting the "ey" on the end of your sneezes when you were much younger in an effort to be "cute" and it has now become a habit. See, the thing is, you're in your early 20s and it's no longer cute, kinda like the rest of you.

I really hope your six-month contract isn't renewed.

Hugs,

SR

To the new guy....your phone conversations are way too ####ing loud. The whole floor can hear you. Buried somewhere you must surely possess an indoor voice. Must also spend so many hours on the phone?

Dear co-worker,

I don't like you. I never have. I didn't like you the first week I worked here and you came into my office drunk from the holiday party and told me my wedding ring was smaller than yours, even though you were wrong. I didn't like you when you told people I wear fake handbags (it's a girl thing).

I've tried to be nice and play nice since we work in a very small department. That stopped when you yelled at me in the hall in front of people for something that was YOUR responisibility.

You don't know everything. You don't have more work than everyone else. Your are too damn old to be wearing miniskirts at all, much less for work. Your clothes are starting to looking like sausage casing and your shoes are trashy.

Please for my sanity, stop coming by my cube and trying to talk to me. I don't care.

Some people don't like fake funbags. As long as they are not too big, I don't see the problem. ETA: I now see you said handbags, not funbags... my bad

 

[kentric]

you're a useless pos that gets paid 90+ to sit and do absolutely nothing. either retire now or die please choose quickly b/c i want your cubenobody likes you. stop staring at me, stop getting into all of my converstations. you are nobodys friend you are just annoying old weird guy that carrys a bottle oflotion with you arond the office. the women are afarid of you and your pathietc

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

 

[kentric]

Dear coworker. The person you replaced was no rocket scientist but he also wasn't totally out of it. The client indicated there were two wire xfers in his email but you send me one wire. When I point this out you say you will contact the client and then you forward me the same exact wire xfer instructions. It isn't difficult to see that there's something wrong here. If this was the first time something like this happened I'd write it off, but does it have to be a semi-monthly affair?

 

[Underachievers]

Never would have guessed that there were some many office people at FBG's.

 

[bakes]

Dear Blue Meanie

It's not your dour demeanor that makes the office wonder why you come to work if you're so miserable...

it's not your incessant clockwatching...

it's not your need to have a scapegoat on your staff so you feel better about yourself and, when they leave, find someone else to micromanage...

it's not how you need to remind us of proper office attire while wearing pants that stay up by a belt and a miracle around your 400 pound girth...

that makes me write this letter. No...

It's the fact that despite your mountainous proportions you head straight from the stalls and out the bathroom door without washing your hands. :X

Sincerely,

one staff person who won't be shaking your hand anytime soon.

Listen up lady,

We hire a lot of people for our projects. I know this means you have to deal with a lot of new-hire paperwork. I9s. W2s. That's fine. But what drives me bat#### is that you have to have the same conversation with every. person. who comes in to fill out paperwork.

"I just need to verify your ID. Oooooh, you're a Gemini. That's goooood. We like Geminis here. You know, your supervisor is also a Gemini. That means you're both smart but quietly hardworking."

"Can I see your ID? Ah, a Taurus. Hmm. That could be a problem. Billy in accounting is an Aries and if he's managing your project, that could be an issue because you guys won't get along. Let me call over there and check. (picks up phone) Danny? Who's managing the new project? Is it Billy? Oh, it's Wendy. OK, thanks. She's a Virgo, right? Thanks. (hangs up) Well, it's not Billy, but it's Wendy, who's a Virgo, so maybe it'll be OK but I'll have to keep an eye on it because sometimes you're both so headstrong things get tense."

"Nice to meet you. Can I see your ID? Oh, Pisces. Oh dear. We had a problem with a Pisces last year. Sometimes you can be too overconfident and then you don't check with us before doing stuff. Make sure that doesn't happen, OK?"

100% serious. And she's made friends with all the like-minded middle-aged hairdos in the other departments so she can consult them if anything comes up she's not sure about when dealing with a new hire. "Tiffany? We just hired a Scorpio. I think he'll work out well. But do you remember if Jim in legal is a Sagittarius? We should see if maybe someone else can sign the deal memo."

To Mr. Loudly Moaning While Taking a Leak Man:

Seriously dude go get yourself checked out at the urologist. Nobody should sound like they are in mid-orgasm while at the stall draining the snake.

Also, standing there with both hands on your hips makes it even more weird.

Is this in itself weird, or is it the combination of the moaning that sends it over the line?

Dear Admin Lady that comes to work at 10am:Yes, I am leaving at 3:30pm. That doesn't make it early. I got here at 7am and already put in my 8 hours.Please, kindly go f### yourself.Much appreciated, The rest of the officeAnd she has that high pitched whiny voice and tries to sound all innocent yet inquisitive.

Hey there Juraj, Matus, Michal, Andrej, or whatever the #### your name is...how's the weather over there in Eastern Europe? Oh, you can't complain? No, I wouldn't guess so, after taking the job of a US worker who actually had a ####### clue. I've got to hand it to you, somehow you make ends meet on 16 grand per year. But do you snicker just a little bit when people refer to you as a project manager? Say, could I ask a favor? Do you think maybe you could learn just a little bit about the job, and maybe just pretend to give a flying ####? No? Okay, don't worry, when you sign off promptly at 11:01AM EST regardless of any crises taking place, I'll be here to pick up the slack. See you tomorrow. No? It's the anniversary of the Queen's hysterectomy and the whole country is off work for the month-long festival? No problem! Drink one for me! And I ####### hate your lazy ### and I hope you ####### die!

Deb - What the hell... Dude (yes, dude's name is Deb) is in the bathroom EVERY TIME I go in there. I walk past the bathroom and he's either on his way in or way out. Never pissing, always preening. Looks in the mirror and fixes his hair or shirt collar or something. You have an arranged wife at home, what are you doing? She isn't going anywhere.

[Hilarity Ensues]

Dear Adam,You do some things really well. We have promoted you and given you a nice raise this year. You don't need to feel threatened by the 21 year old who's barely through his first month. He has some unique skills and we are going to rely on him to handle certain projects. When we are in the weekly meeting, do me a favor and let him finish two sentences before you interrupt him and start arguing with everything he says. Do you not see the rest of us rolling our eyes every time you do this? Also, why is every single time a questions is asked it takes you about 10x the amount of words to answer it than it would the average person? Can you just get to the ####### point please? And another thing, you don't need to jump into every single conversation taking place within ear shot. Couple more notes: We have a small office and it would be really cool if you could wait for everyone to get their first cup of before you fill your 52oz "Bubba" coffee tumbler leaving half the office to wait for the second pot to brew.Note 2: It would be sweet if you could wait the two ####### seconds it takes me to take the trash bag out to the dumpster, come back inside and replace the bag before you throw your box of KFC in the bagless trash can?Note 3: It's so weird making eye contact with you. Try looking away every once in a while. The death stare thing you do to everybody is strange.

 

[Cunk]

Dear "boss", please take the extra 2 seconds it would take to type a clear, understandable email as opposed to the cryptic messages you send me because you are rushing so much. Also, it will save everybody time if you actually attached documents to your email. Those hours spent between me responding to your email that there was no attachment to when you say "sorry" and actually attached it could be used getting work done. And if I reply with "you forgot to send the attachment" don't reply with "I'll re-send". That makes it seem like you did send it before and I just missed it, which isn't the case.Also, if you are asking questions about a certain project don't hit reply to an unrelated thread and and then ask the question. That makes me think you are asking the question about the thread you replied to. This causes much confusion until we finally realize you were actually asking a question about something else.Basically I'm pleading with you to take a tiny bit of extra time to stop rushing so much so the communication between us is clear. In the end you'll actually be saving time by not going back and forth with needless emails and I'll get more work done. Win-win.

 

[shadyridr]

No Im not gonna change the format of the template to 3 decimal places to save you time. It took you longer to write out that whole email asking me to do so then it did to change a # from 2 to 3 decimal places in Excel.

[Sarnoff]

1) please stop putting an entire message in the subject line, then sending the email with the body blank. I know you're doing it from your phone, but you can still move to the other text box.2) We're working on 50 projects with 50 different project heads in charge. When forwarding an email requesting a change be made to one of them, please make sure the name of the project being discussed is somehow present. Right now I get emails with no reference to which one it is, and I have to dig through the entire message chain looking for clues. Often the project head making the request doesn't have his name or the project name on the original email, either (since it started as an internal chain within his own project, so obviously everyone inside knew what he was talking about), so then all I have to go by is an email address. Which means I have to go through all our employment info to find out who uses 'zenith1111@aol.com' and then figure out which project we hired him on. How about when you forward the message, write more than "please make this change," like maybe "please make this change to the Denver project." TIA.

[Jayrod]

Dear Mr. President/Owner,I know you are a salesmen first, but you don't have to try and explain to me how "great" the company is doing. I'm the accountant and I know how deep in debt we are. If you really were concerned about your wife and six kids, then you'd stop buying motorcycles with company money and driving rental cars while your company car sits in your driveway.You should be a millionaire if you had even one shred of business sense, but instead you owe more than the company is worth. And, no, another loan to fix our cashflow crunch isn't the answer. Maybe you could just pay back the hundreds of thousands of dollars you took out of the company for personal expenses to live like you are a millionaire. And yes, you are going to have to work your ### off to fix things. I'm sorry, but owning a company doesn't always mean you get to work just 20 hours a week. Especially when you've ran off all of your best salesmen and pissed off most of our vendors. If you weren't paying for my school, I'd be looking for another job right now. But since I'd have to pay you back, I'm stuck for another year. Please don't take down the company with any more idiotic deals with no profit margin before I am no longer under your thumb.Thanks for your time.Your humble servant,JayrodPS - Try actually showing up to appointments on time, it does wonders for customer and vendor relations.

Forgot how many signs of his lunacy were in place while I worked there.

 

[Kal El]

Dear 58-year-old lead lifeguard,Where do I begin? Perhaps with the fact that you were a career lifeguard, and despite a degree you got from TCU, proceeded to do jack with your life. You were incompetent in every sense of the word, and this didn't start when you got the lead guard position. We couldn't tell you how to do anything, because you'd go off on a tirade and practically challenge the person to a fight. When you tried that with me, part of me hoped you'd take a swing, so I could see just how good your "black belt" skills were, employment consequences or not. You thought every girl working here had a crush on you, despite the fact that you could have been their grandfather, and IIRC, this idea cost you a few marriages before I had the unfortunacy to meet you. This also resulted in a few sexual harassment complaints, but you always hid behind the union, and never got fired for it.Then you became the lead guard (only at the behest of the manager's boss, whereas the manager recommended me based on my performance), and despite having little real power, you went on what can only be described as the king of all power trips, attempting to command everyone to do your bidding or face termination, which you couldn't do. You called yourself the manager whenever the real manager wasn't here, and even the most basic jobs you had to do required several walkthroughs for you, just so you could do even the most basic of tasks. You lied constantly, and when caught in it, called everyone else a liar, and pretty much made yourself the target of everyone's ire. It got so bad that there was a petition circulated to get you removed from the position, which was presented to the county's director of aquatics, who at least started an investigation, but nothing came of it.Eventually, it got a little bit better, but whenever you entered a room, those of us who didn't immediately leave just stopped talking altogether, because we didn't want to talk to you. You told us you wanted to buy property in Colorado and adopt kids when you retired, and everyone here immediately felt bad for any potential orphans you managed to ensnare. You got a CCW for a supposed security guard job, and frightened all of us further when you started reading a book on Florida gun laws at work.

Dear 58-year-old lead lifeguard,Where do I begin? Perhaps with the fact that you were a career lifeguard, and despite a degree you got from TCU, proceeded to do jack with your life. You were incompetent in every sense of the word, and this didn't start when you got the lead guard position. We couldn't tell you how to do anything, because you'd go off on a tirade and practically challenge the person to a fight. When you tried that with me, part of me hoped you'd take a swing, so I could see just how good your "black belt" skills were, employment consequences or not. You thought every girl working here had a crush on you, despite the fact that you could have been their grandfather, and IIRC, this idea cost you a few marriages before I had the unfortunacy to meet you. This also resulted in a few sexual harassment complaints, but you always hid behind the union, and never got fired for it.Then you became the lead guard (only at the behest of the manager's boss, whereas the manager recommended me based on my performance), and despite having little real power, you went on what can only be described as the king of all power trips, attempting to command everyone to do your bidding or face termination, which you couldn't do. You called yourself the manager whenever the real manager wasn't here, and even the most basic jobs you had to do required several walkthroughs for you, just so you could do even the most basic of tasks. You lied constantly, and when caught in it, called everyone else a liar, and pretty much made yourself the target of everyone's ire. It got so bad that there was a petition circulated to get you removed from the position, which was presented to the county's director of aquatics, who at least started an investigation, but nothing came of it.Eventually, it got a little bit better, but whenever you entered a room, those of us who didn't immediately leave just stopped talking altogether, because we didn't want to talk to you. You told us you wanted to buy property in Colorado and adopt kids when you retired, and everyone here immediately felt bad for any potential orphans you managed to ensnare. You got a CCW for a supposed security guard job, and frightened all of us further when you started reading a book on Florida gun laws at work. We're still scared that you're going to come in and try and kill all of us.But joy of all joys, you retired this past September! It was as though a dark cloud lifted, and what we used to feel whenever you called out for a myriad of stupid reasons, we now felt all the time, because we were free of you!

There's a lifeguard union?

I have no idea what else he said.

There's a lifeguard union?

As full-time workers for a county government, we can join the local CWA union.

I will say that at times, his stupidity/delusions were pretty funny. He saw a picture of a rhinoceros once, and said, out loud, "That's a rhino-saurus, you know, a dinosaur." We didn't correct him, because that would mean talking to him. He also thought he created a new breed of dog by mating his lab with his pit bull. We looked, and there are dog pounds crammed full of dogs with that exact background.He also swam with a swim cap on, despite being completely bald. The only hair on his head was his ugly goatee, which he used Just for Men on once it got too grey. I guess he thought it made him look more attractive. It just made him look stupid.He was also legendary for his inability to keep a wife. Reports vary, but when he retired, I think he was on #7. Oh well, his leaving means that this easy job is less annoying.

No Im not gonna change the format of the template to 3 decimal places to save you time. It took you longer to write out that whole email asking me to do so then it did to change a # from 2 to 3 decimal places in Excel.

This has to be a joke, right?

To Mr. Loudly Moaning While Taking a Leak Man:Seriously dude go get yourself checked out at the urologist. Nobody should sound like they are in mid-orgasm while at the stall draining the snake. Also, standing there with both hands on your hips makes it even more weird.

Probably not. I had a customer call and ask me if I could give her the same spreadsheet but sorted on Name rather than Social. I told her she could just sort it herself, tried to walk her though it. In the end, I sorted the spreadsheet by name and sent it to her again. It was just that much less painful than talking to her anymore.

I get the same types of requests. I had a client email me asking to remove 5 rows in a spreadsheet because it didn't go with her presentation. I offered the same advice of walking her through how to manage a spreadsheet, but she wasn't getting it.
