We had this too. They were in the role for literally weeks and they were already talking about a raiseThis one colleague who joined the team 4 months ago and has been obsessed with getting a promotion.
OMG don't get lumbered. Just say 'neither do I fuckwad' and hand it back. How dare he.My colleague pushing a shared responsibility on me because he 'just doesn't like doing that'. I don't know who told you it was my favourite pastime activity but they were lying I just said 'mm-hmm' and didn't continue discussing it, I don't know if I should have clapped back with some sort of response but I was too surprised at the nerve. Audacity of some people never fail to amaze me. And when I ask him to do something, it's a series of instructions for me about how I can do it myself. duck off...
At the time of the task he conveniently disappeared and because I couldn't let it linger until he decided to come back, I had to take it on. Fuming.OMG don't get lumbered. Just say 'neither do I fuckwad' and hand it back. How dare he.
I had a coworker who would literally hold out a piece of paper toward me without even turning his head. He was too busy shopping for shoes and looking at houses he couldn't afford online to bother to do any work. The last time he tried that I just ignored him. Eventually his arm ran out of blood and he had to put it back down. Lazy bum. He ended up getting a week long retrain on how to do his job (although he'd been in the role for well over a year) and ended up quitting after getting three disciplinary writeups.My colleague pushing a shared responsibility on me because he 'just doesn't like doing that'.

OMG. Someone I directly work with does this all the time! Iām like āI have a question on point dā. This person doesnāt let me finish and starts going through a,b,c which I didnāt ask anything about.Interrupting and trying to answer my question before I even give them full context and recommending things I've already done because they didn't actually wait to let me say what my question about a particular issue is.
Well done.I'm meant to be on holidays until the end of January as I have oodles of leave owed.
Today, I awoke to a series of texts asking if I could come in because someone has walked out without giving notice and everyone else is under the pump. Why is this my problem? I'm always the one called on to go in and check if someone's reset the alarm on the weekend (because I live closest to work), and I always pick up the slack when needed. But when we finished up at Christmas, I made it clear that I would not be available until I return to work.
Anyway, I missed the texts by four hours as I was busy last night doing things and didn't get in until 3am. When I read the messages I texted back to say I already have plans and am not available. Bugger them!
My previous workplace asked me and others to "volunteer" to come help out at the makeshift company party they held in the parking lot of the warehouse. I told them I couldn't because I was going out of town. Well, I only went to the next town over which was about 5 miles away, but technically I did not lie!I'm meant to be on holidays until the end of January as I have oodles of leave owed.

My worst colleague and my own manager do this and one day my screaming in response is going to get me the sack.Interrupting and trying to answer my question before I even give them full context and recommending things I've already done because they didn't actually wait to let me say what my question about a particular issue is.
Ugh a supervisor does this, drives me insane. If she let me speak and actually paid attention to what I'm asking, the whole thing would be done in 2 minutes but because she keeps interrupting and guessing what I'm trying to ask and answering the wrong questions, we get stuck on the same issue for 15 minutes, each second more frustrating than the last. How hard is it to just listen??Interrupting and trying to answer my question before I even give them full context and recommending things I've already done because they didn't actually wait to let me say what my question about a particular issue is.
That's exactly how it goes and then they go on to explain things that I know. I find it quite patronising as my questions would generally be about something more complex or higher level, I don't really ask about basics of my job, don't need that explained to me or it goes something like that:Ugh a supervisor does this, drives me insane.
