I used to work with someone who would complain if I didn’t ask how her weekend was.When they ask how your weekend was or how your evening was, but they're not really listening they just wait for you to stop talking so they can tell you all about themselves.
AmazingI used to work with someone who would complain if I didn’t ask how her weekend was.
Oh gosh. This is the most accurate thing I’ve seen about colleagues. So annoying. I keep it brief and just say yes all good thanks HOPING that they will also keep it short and leave me aloneWhen they ask how your weekend was or how your evening was, but they're not really listening they just wait for you to stop talking so they can tell you all about themselves.
One of my colleagues did this when I was off sick with COVID and I was fuming. Telling me how the others thought I was faking it (never taken a sick day in my life before this so okI'm on annual leave this week and next but received calls/texts from a colleague to "keep me up with the gossip". I don't care I'm on holiday! We get on inside work and like a good chat but we aren't besties or someone I would socialise with outside of work. I wouldn't dream of calling him for a work gossip chit chat whilst he is on holiday.
My fault for answering I suppose.
I soo agree. I left the WhatsApp group at my old company without saying bye. You're exactly right! There were so many hanger-ons that just wanted office tea. Get a life peepsI muted my old work WhatsApp group too. Most of them left the company and carried on messaging. Nah just piss off
I worked in HR in the one I'm taking about!Work WhatsApp groups sound like a HR nightmare!
I am so glad we don’t have that where I work...personally I wouldn’t accept the group invite. I don’t have a work phone so couldn’t make me join it either

I couldn’t stand her. She was incompetent so not only did I have to do her work but I also had to concern myself with her social life too. Urgh.Did she think your life was so empty that you were actually interested?
Ah on of THOSE. There’s usually a word for employees like that. I think it’s managers.I couldn’t stand her. She was incompetent so not only did I have to do her work but I also had to concern myself with her social life too. Urgh.
I taught with an idiot who complained I wasn’t friendly enough. I asked if we were discussing a teacher or a student?I used to work with someone who would complain if I didn’t ask how her weekend was.
