(no subject)
I just listened to a co-worker in the cubicle across from me have a personal phone call to another co-worker on my team (but in a different office) complain that I haven't done any work today. And of course, she is not working while having this personal conversation claiming that I am "not doing any work and telling the manager she can't keep up with her workload".
I have been running around this morning trying to prepare for my upcoming vacation. I had to take a shift on reception yesterday because the receptionist was sick and there was no one to fill in, and so I have been resolving issues that were involved with that now that she is back and asking questions, and I have been emailing instructions and taking phone calls with two people all morning answering questions regarding backing up my work. I have also been running around my office trying to ask people to handle certain tasks that I do while I am away. This is all WORK related. I can prove that I have been working, and now that I finally get a chance to sit down I listen to her whispering to a colleague that I don't do any work. The person making up these stories is someone I trained for two years how to do her job because she couldn't get it, I repeatedly fixed her mistakes and made polite excuses for her when she kept making the same errors no matter how many times I demonstrated the proper procedure and encouraged her. I have always been very kind to her personally as well. This person’s work ethic and quality of work leaves a lot to be desired, and their complete blatant hypocrisy is filling me with rage. I don’t particularly like being stabbed in the back.
I ALWAYS put in my time. I work flex hours so I come in later and stay later, and I often work unclaimed overtime. The co-worker making up lies about me often takes one and a half to two hour lunches and is almost always out the door ten minutes early. I don’t complain about her, I just try to mind my own business and if she doesn’t do her work that’s her issue. I wish she demonstrated the same respect. Apparently being a good example doesn’t encourage others to do the same.
I am so sick of this place. I am so sick of this bullshit.
If anyone cares, I used my break time to write this rant, just for the record.
