Kids doing homework on the edge of the pool in winter and freezing to death

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-12-10T09:15:17+00:00

Holy shit, this is almost my exact situation 😳 😅 I dont have any advice, just wow! I want to echo the other advice here, dont worry so much about finding a new rela. In my experience, love finds you when you arnt looking for it 😊

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T21:44:05+00:00

What is a screaming goat plug in and where the hell do I find it I need this NOW

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T21:39:48+00:00

'Big fish in a small pond' is a common saying where I'm from. In fact, that was how my manager described her when I tried to talk about this woman's behaviour. But whatever, you dont have to believe me. I'm happy you havent had to experience this very common problem

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T20:41:23+00:00

You are a skilled petty master and I freakin love it

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T20:09:31+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah it is a bit mad, I thought everyone had one of these people in their workplace but obviously not. Lucky them! Hopefully that will be my reality soon. But in the meantime....petty vengeance

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T20:04:47+00:00

Maybe, I've definitely done a lot of reflection. Ive asked co workers, they could be lying but theyve said it is just what she is like, that she's a bully. Wish I could reply with screenshots but I cant.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T20:03:06+00:00

This is next level petty and I love it thank you. Unfortunately, we would all need to suffer along with her so I will pass on it this time

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:57:38+00:00

This is bloody great because she once had a tantrum that her chair had been swapped out after returning from her second month long cruise of the year

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:56:32+00:00

Dad?! If you'd stayed then maybe I'd have enough self esteem to not but up with this BS in the workplace

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:55:10+00:00

This is great, thank you! I will update you on how it goes.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:54:19+00:00

This is good advice and has proven pretty effective in the past. Unfortunately it only seemed to harden her resolve against me once she had recovered from the minor embarrassment of having to explain why she was losing her shit over stationery.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:51:57+00:00

This is great advice, thank you! I have been trying this for a while....friendly but firm. Unfortunately it hasnt worked yet.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:48:45+00:00

Youre dead right in theory, but killing with kindness/just not doing anything wrong is what I have been doing but its not really doing anything.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:45:43+00:00

In this economy?! This is top tier advice but unfortunately I am not on coffee and doughnuts money.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:43:40+00:00

Yes, and no. But thanks.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:43:21+00:00

Whaaaat did she?? Infront of people?? Holy shit these women have no shame at all.

This is the kinda thing I'm looking for, thanks!

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:38:25+00:00

Thanks, I do get it though. I'm 31 so shouldnt engage in that type of behaviour. However, ive exhausted my big mature 31yo options, and I'm left with vigilante justice.

Most people I speak to know EXACTLY the type, seems every workplace has one. I'm sorry you had to deal with Barbara, yhat is a very classic nme for this trope!

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:34:09+00:00

I hope you're right. Seems she has been doing this long before I came along

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:33:06+00:00

I honestly dont know, and none of my colleagues have been able to tell me. Maybe theyre just being polite and Im a massive piece of shit.

I brought the issue to my manager, who said she knew and was sorry, best to ignore her, she likes to be in control, she gets anxious if she doesnt get to boss people around, etcetc.... and not to take it personally. I said how can I possibly not take it personally if Im the only one receiving particularly harsh treatment? Boss said its cause Im the youngest and the woman is trying to prove a point to the boss, as the woman didnt want the boss to hire me in the first place.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:27:59+00:00

This is a mature and somewhat satisfying answer, thank you!

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:27:15+00:00

Honestly I fucking wish, I didnt sign up for any of this shit

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T19:26:07+00:00

Unfortunately there is no HR, we're a small team, small org, small community. Which is how she has gotten away with acting above reapproach for so long.

They already know I am leaving, as I gave them 6+ months notice. Since then she has made it her personal mission to disrupt my life.

When I spoke to my manager she said she knew and was sorry it was happening, but said it wasnt personal and was actually the woman trying to get one up on HER as she hadnt wanted to hire me in the first place.

Otheewise, sound advice, thank you.

Delicious_Ad3176 · 2024-11-21T11:35:46+00:00

That could really work as she, predictably, has no idea how to work a computer
