I think we must all three work for the same woman. She has two moods nasty and angry. Everyone was standing around talking about what a nice holiday we had. She's the only one who not only complained about her holiday, but bad mouthed her family at length. She makes judgment calls based on zero knowledge and when it blows up, she throws people under the bus. In fact, she flat out lies about the things she has tasked us with and claims that we "just didn't do it". I've called her on it several times, but it doesn't matter and it makes me a target for every task that she doesn't know how to do. I don't think I've ever worked with anyone that I don't like working with as much as her. Ever. I could handle her ugly attitude if she were just fair and/or honest.

Ok let me bust it out for ya'll ok.  She didn't even know her own brother was ill. Nobody in her family told her. Then they didn't tell her he was in the hospital. She found out from someone that knows her sister-in-law. She shows up at the hospital. The rest of the family has security run her off!  :eek: So then he passes away like a month later. Somehow she got the info of his funeral. *Break for a second* Isn't it messed up how the fun is in funeral???

Anyhow she showed up to it and they had hired 2 policeman to stand guard. Why? They didn't want her there and those guards made her leave. Now what's up with that broad her own family would shun her so bad?

She pulls this crap telling us to do something then she doesn't know anything. We do it,then when her boss didn't want it done she claims she doesn't know why it was done. WTF???

None of us like her. When I first got there I felt bad for her 'cause everyone was so blah around her,but I quickly seen WHY they were p*ssy people.

Not everyone should be supervisors.

Not to brag, but in all seriousness managing our office could be similar to a coach of a pro sports team. She has an excellent staff. Even the new people are SO bright and have SO much ingenuity that even learning they are an asset. She doesn't see it, respect it or utilize it. She micromanages everything to the point that the problems we do have, are created by her. The time we waste is spent cleaning up a mess that she caused. If someone makes a mistake, they're an idiot. If she makes one she pouts and whines (if she can't find someone to blame it on) until we all feel the need to soothe her feelings by telling her that "everyone makes mistakes, it's no big deal".

I'm looking for another opportunity. I like my job, love my coworkers and I even love where I work, but I can't deal w/the emotional roller coaster created by this psycho.

I told her one day that I was sick of how she talks to me and it wasn't going to keep happening. She just stood there like OMG you got nerve bioootch. Then I said so if you want to go ahead and fire me that's fine but I'm going to report everything you've ever said or done on my way out. She said oh no no no I was just having a bad day. Sorry about that. I walked off.
You got her goat, didn't ya? LMAO!!!  :biggrin:

Perhaps it's time to ban together and get rid of her? We've been talking about doing that ourselves.

The PTA president's husband and I are in charge of the spaghetti dinner night at our school Jan. 30th.  They are also parents in my classroom.  I went to a meeting today and my understanding was the PTA was going to prep everything, they just didn't want to have to put it on and the teachers and staff would do that part.  I thought that was my part - organizing who is working this thing.  Nope!  As Mr. first man sat on his ass at the meeting, I ran our portion and am basically running the whole show now. 

I shouldn't complain too much.  I'm the one that wanted to bring this back.  I loved it when we used to do this several years ago and we made a ton of money.  The PTA just got slack and didn't want to do it anymore. 
Take time to smell the roses.

Don't you just love it when somebody comes up with a big idea, and does nothing to follow through on it. I hate that.  :rolleyes:

Well, I only got 2 hours at work today. I'm sure I will be joining the unemployed before too long. Our area has the highest unemployment rate in Illinois. GOOD TIMES ahead!!!  :rolleyes:

I don't look to be a my job much longer. The guy that owns our stores told the management team today, that they won't be getting their six month raises anymore, because he's broke. Corporate made a mandatory remodel rule two years ago. All stores had to be remodeled by January of this year, or they would be closed. Well, the price to remodel the stores ate up all the profits, and with the slow down in business in the past year, there hasn't been a chance to recover. It doesn't look good.  :no:
