It's not really so much what they do. It's more of what they don't do... which is their job.

I have to deal with this too, hired on 10 months ago, has an overinflated ego and wants to do things her way. Extremely defensive and argumentative.

Traps you into that five minute conversation that you can't get away from.

Waits until everyone is collecting their belongings at the end of a meeting to start asking questions

Asks questions / thinks decisions are made during meetings. Just let persons A, B, and D read their bullet points that should have been a memo and let it end.

Used to work with a lady that got under my skin for no real reason. She had a grating voice and a know it all demeanor, but actually wasn't very intelligent - she had just been there forever. She always struck me as the type who sat in the front row of HCC and asked the prof a million questions, while reminding him of things like "we were supposed to have a quiz today" or "you didn't take up last nights homework."

The job blew nuts so I quit 11 months in. When I turned in my notice, my boss's boss called me in and asked me to reconsider because they were going to bump me to the highest role in our group. For a split second, I almost agreed to stay on just so I could watch that lady have a coronary at the newest guy getting bumped way above her, then quit right after my promotion announcement.

While all this is going on the manatees are picking over the catered lunch. Only thing left will be the veggie option ordered by the same manatees.

The Friday afternoon meeting scheduler... (which I just decline anyhow)

Worked with a guy about 15 years ago who started going to lunch around 11:30 a.m. and wouldn't come back to the office, claiming he was going on calls. He quit about 5 weeks later, saying he was too stressed out.

Big boss asked me to go through his voice mails and emails to let his clients know there was a transition going on and I found he had - numbers NOT exaggerated -

200+ unheard voice mails
more than 1,000 unread emails

Dude went full Office Space on y'all.

To be fair, I'd be pretty stressed about having 200 voice mails and a thousand unread emails.

that's all women

Except my other two coworkers who are also women are actually pleasant to work with, this one IMO doesn't like having men telling her what to do and or constructively criticize her

How are their cans?

When a group email goes out and you respond to a single person. Then that person adds everyone back on the list and sends out their response exposing your response.

Hey Mow Ron!!!!!! If I had wanted everyone to see the email, I would have sent it to everyone...

Ron White!!!!

publicly shames the people she supervises.

lies vindictively on annual reviews to hurt coworkers

undercuts the authority of people outside her department

fails to follow through

shows favoritism to her clique of workers.

takes any attempt at positive change as a personal attack.

i could go on but she is a horrible human being.

Then you're a worthless poster and you should delete your account.

This is one of the most bs moves I've seen done at work.

I only do this when someone is trying to be a total snake and fk me over and I'm not having it.
