Okay, there was a new addition to my department this year. But she confuses me. On one hand I think she's an awesome worker, she gives some really great ideas and she's innovative.
On the other hand, these are the issues I'm facing with her:
- Temperamental, moody, short-tempered, pulls a long face all the time (this I can totally overlook and deal with)
- Debates at every thing presented to her
- Acts unprofessionally
- Agrees to something (a plan or schedule) and then later on in the last minute, complain otherwise (this happened sooooooooooooo many freakin times it's driving me insane)
- Fickle-minded at everything!!!
- Blames others for her lack of involvement in certain compulsory projects when she is obviously not interested in participating
I have dealt with several difficult people in my career and many times I've felt like omg I can't deal with this person and I'm going insane in the next second but so far I've pulled through thankfully.
But this has got to be the most boiling, most challenging and most annoying colleague I've ever had!!
Recently, she's created some hoohaa with another department in which I had to step in to rectify the issue and actually bring both supervisors together to sit down and come to a resolution. She was going to heat it up to the bosses which would have brought up wayyyyy more issues.
I think it has reached my maximum tolerance level for such bullshit. I have now turned to ignoring her but each day, there is something new she dishes out either at my other colleague, or at my supervisor.
My goodness, if I could quit my job - I totally would have months ago because I cannot and right now refuse to tolerate her.
Note:
She never dishes it out right in front of me or to me probably because I'm the department coordinator who works directly with her? But WTF?? It makes my life a lot harder at work with her doing all this behind me and behaving this way and I am the last person to know about it just before we have to carry out the task in hand!
*hair all ripped out*
Rant done.
But seriously, how do YOU deal with people like this??
