At my last job, this guy that sat near me would rip farts all day and moan to his Jesus podcasts. "Mmm. MMmm. MMMMM. YES. Amen."

Engineering. He did not have the typical engineer personality.

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.
I may not be understanding your point. You'd rather have meetings be pointless than make decisions in them?

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.

Sounds like my ex.

Which is why she's my ex.

There is a lot, including the one woman who tried her level best through stupidity to get us all killed on more than one occasion.

But the most annoying one for sure is the "busy work" worker. The one that goes at 150% scurrying and fussing around and moving things and "looking productive". When it is all pointless or even counter productive.

Talk politics.

I'm here to cash a check, if I wanted your regurgitation of whatever OANN is saying today I'd ask for it.

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


This x 1000


How can someone not do their job x 1000? Or do you have 1000 coworkers who don't do their jobs? If the latter, do you work for the government?

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.


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


I solve this by never putting in writing something I don't want read back to me in court. If I have something delicate to say, I do it in person or on the phone.

Was once assigned to run a division, get it turned around, and move it's headquarters across the country. First day on the job, I had to fire three VP's and announce the move to the employees. Not a lot of fun….had a lot of security in the parking lot. Against that background:

When I fire the VP of sales and have him empty his desk, he tells me what is in the brown paper bag in a drawer of his desk belongs to him. I say okay, but I need to see what is in the bag. He opens the bag and there is $15,000 in hundred dollar bills. As it turned out: This was 20 years ago and he always insisted on getting a physical pay check and refusing direct deposit. He would cash the payroll check and hide this portion from his wife for his activities he wanted to hide from her. I just smiled and told him "no problem."

So…..about two months later, we get an envelope addressed to him from an address in Montreal. In the envelope was ten, crisp $100 bills and his letter to the madame of a ***** house describing exactly who and what he wanted when he visited….on a business trip he was to take a week after he was fired. His letter to the madame was on company letterhead. He never showed up and the madame returned the $$$ and the letter not knowing he was fired and never made the trip was why he didn't show up. I guess he just assumed she would keep the $1,000.

Never had to personally work with him, but the remaining employees said he was quite strange and difficult to work with.

I don't like how you structure your story. Probably whiskey related on my end.

Sounds like a good dude overall though.

VP of sales with $15k in his desk, goin on trips and banging hookers …

Sounds like he wasn't too bad off, really.

With initiative like that I'm sure he quickly rebounded from a job loss.

You would think right?…but then I was told he had fifteen cats and would talk about them constantly.

Woman would go down rabbit holes in research for problems that didn't exist. Would constantly be stressed about her work because she was "so busy" and didn't understand why management wasn't patient with her. ***** you create unnecessary work which then spills over on us. Constantly opening cans of works for no damn reason.

For instance - were in oil and gas and get decimals for ownership out to the 8th decimal place. She obsessed that a number was off by 0.00000001. I **** you not, she called me into her office to help with a problem. When I saw this I nearly blew a gasket. I said round that mf'r down and move the duck on.

She'd always ask a million questions or bring up points irrelevant to the meeting so that she appeared to be busy/contributing.

Constantly stop by my office to ***** and cry about family fights.

Literally sent me an e-mail, follow up Skype message and stopped by my office to ask if I read it yet all within a 20 minute period.

I was approaching the point of getting fired bc I was about to blow up on her.

She was so bad even management mocked her in meetings by rolling their eyes openly.

These come in two flavors: one openly brags about how much they don't get done, and the other takes credit for projects that they contributed an email reply to.

Was he an extrovert engineer? He would stare at your shoes instead of his?

Why would you work with people you hate? You'll end up spending as much time with people you work with as your family members, why be stuck with someone you hate?
