The air con being constantly on so it's sub zero all year round
And when that person has a day off the dynamic in the office is so much nicerIt may sound harsh, but sometimes, the sole fact that the person even exists and is in your team is enough to annoy you.
Just so we're clear, I don't want anyone to die, but I wish said person worked in a different company / team. Not being able to stand turns into a physical reaction.
OMG. Exactly. In my case, said person was OOO for three weeks in July and the team dynamic shifted entirely. There was only 3 of us including this person. The problematic person was getting on everyone's nerve to the point where the third person was becoming mean / rude as well. The moment the problematic person went OOO, all returned to normal and everyone was more relaxed! Some people just drag a team down without realizing. They generally think a) everyone else is the problem or b) they're so great, other people think they're so great too.And when that person has a day off the dynamic in the office is so much nicer
Oh my goodness, I would be so furious. I'd have it out with this person - politely but firmly emphasise that they are not to move things around. If they keep doing it, report them to HR! I can't stand all this passive aggressive BS ... it happens everywhere of course, but a lot of people are so truly hideous. It's always the people that ruin a job.I have to share a room with someone we hired during covid.
He keeps moving stuff around in the room. I move it back and then when I come back in the next week its back again.
Today I find he has pushed his desk further into the room narrowing my way out from my desk even more. I shoved it back.
He keeps bringing a horrible kitchen bin into the room and putting it near me. I take it out each time.we each have waste paper bins so no need for it.
So this morning I put it in the corner right beside him and put the boxes of crap in the correct place.
I have decided that if he moves it back again when I come in on Monday I am hiding it all in one of the many rooms he knows nothing about.
We try to keep the room tidy since we got rid of a former team mate who would just leave boxes in the middle of the room and walk away.
Another new hire is sneaky and jumps all over queries he has no clue about and then when it gets messy he palms it off but with no context of what has gone on.
He has done it a couple of times to me and each time I ask him to send on the full thread so I know what Im dealing with. He really doesnt like being asked that, but I have been here long enough to know that someone like him will not give a chance of glory on a query away unless it has gone seriously tits up. Its the fact he is happy to throw you under the bus that I dont like, dont take a query if its not in your skill set you only makes things worse by delaying the process.
I have a chat booked with our manager tomorrow and am going to tell her that he cant keep doing that its a shared space and at the moment we work in office different days but from January we are in there at same time and he needs to know its not his office.Oh my goodness, I would be so furious.

I experienced similar a few years ago. After talking about work stuff for two days - showing her the ropes etc, I thought she was shy so on the third day I said ' did you watch great British bake off last night'? and she replied 'I'm here to work, not make friends'When colleagues have time off so they send in a temp and the temp has no social skills awks
I believe that’s the reason she isn’t in a permenant job. What the hellI experienced similar a few years ago.

She never spoke for the remainder two weeks unless it was work related.
People like her don't realize that being friendly at work goes beyond the sole purpose of "making friends". Generally, if you're a friendly enough person and you're stuck with something / need guidance, people will have no issues helping you. If you're a rude person thinking you're better than everyone else, no one will be there to help you if you're stuck. You should even keep your enemies at arm's length. I swear, there's people I seriously want zero interaction with, but I know they could be of help someday, so I act friendly but set stronger boundaries. No matter the amount of knowledge / competence you have, someone will always know something you don't know.I experienced similar a few years ago.
