This pretty much happens everyday at my work. I use bcc alot now as I can't deal with pointless answersMight have been said already but this happened to me today,
when someone sends an email asking a question to the whole company/building. And instead of replying to the sender, when dozey fuckers “reply all”, so EVERYONE is included in a pointless email thread all day.
Omg my old manager was like this. Had her mobile phone on loud on her desk. Would always take calls from her husband and chat about what they were going to have for tea that night and any only shite. Whereas I’d get tutted at and side-eyed if I used my phone for 5 seconds to send a quick text.Different shop different work colleague 5 mins in to her shift oooooo my boyfriends calling me I need to take this over she goes comes back 10 mins later oooo he wanted to chat .
This is one of my biggest pet peeves!! Now I'm working from home indefinitely (thanks, covid) it happens more and more and my boss adds me to every bloody meeting, even when I'm really not needed.why do people meet for meeting sake?
my boss is the worst for meetings that just drag ON and on, a conversation that could be a quick 15 minute chat will drag on (and I am not joking 3 hours) , on one occasion I meeting I was (thankfully) not part of lasted 6 hours, apparently the majority of it was just chit chat and small talk with everyone else looking at their watches thinking about the work they had to do while he just rambled onMy colleague wanted to arrange a meeting so we can talk through improving a process that doesn't need improving, just so she can act like it is she's more engaged than me and might get offered a perm role when both our contracts come to an end. She is a genuine snakeshe also went behind my back to tattle on me about stuff that wasn't her business and my manager didn't care about.
Anyway, I told her no as it's a waste of time (deadass don't care) and that the process is fine and I'm super busy with actual work. Then when she insisted, I obliged and then booked it for 2:30pm on a Friday as she'll need to scuttle off and collect her child shortly after, so the meeting won't drag.
I sound like such a cunt but why do people meet for meeting sake?
Also had an interview invite for an internal job (basically one-step up and perm) and the lady who sent it works in the same office as me and called me by some random name in the interview invite. I declined because I don't want to work here permanently anymore
I've also seen how lazy and shit she is as a manager so no thanks bby x
We have one monthly meeting booked in for 1.5 hours. Always lasts every minute of it.my boss is the worst for meetings that just drag ON and on, a conversation that could be a quick 15 minute chat will drag on (and I am not joking 3 hours) , on one occasion I meeting I was (thankfully) not part of lasted 6 hours, apparently the majority of it was just chit chat and small talk with everyone else looking at their watches thinking about the work they had to do while he just rambled on
I used to work with someone like this. She even brought in extra filing cabinets etc. Packed full of outdated stuff. I’m sure she photocopied every email she ever received. All the clutter used to give me a headache every day. I finally had enough and left.The ones who treat the office as a second home. Everything spread out, lots of different drawers for their bits and bats. Toasters, kettles, microwaves all going on rotation throughout the day. And you can forget about a look in at the fridge.
Also there's a perfected skill people have of making small tasks last all day. Need to get on it I think!
Time to develop a wheat allergyOne of my colleagues brought in a cake she'd made and being polite we all tried some and said that it was lovely. It was actually disgusting, far too sweet and we put it in the bin when she wasn't around.
My boss came in asking for a piece of cake in front of her and we had to pretend we'd been greedy and wolfed it down between 3 of us. To make it worse, we must have been great actors because she now regularly brings in cakes she's made and we have to go through the whole rigmarole each time!
Cardigans always draped over their chairs, a shoe collection under the desk ...The ones who treat the office as a second home.
