[wooork] ...holy shit I’m still in shock (work horror story)
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So it’s our first team meeting of the year
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And as an ice breaker she asks ‘what good thing happened in 2021 for you’
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So we get to Nick who is the nicest guy with the woooorst luck
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And we know it’s going to be hard for him since he lost his long time partner and mother of his children
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And he mentions a trip he took with the kids to help process their grief, gently talking around the obvious
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And De, my manager, is like ‘well, the best part is we can take what we got from 2021 and learn and grow and make something better for 2022’
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And we’re all sitting there like holy shit silent
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And Nick, after a breath or two, goes “I don’t know if I mentioned but I lost ____’s mother last year”
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And she, sounding like a pleasant happy devil from the depths of hell, goes ‘yes, you did!” Like it’s a funny joke
saku 🌠
...
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And there’s just silent on the line before he goes
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
“...okay” and then she launches into her own thing
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
My soul is literally just staring at the camera still
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Like wtf
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Am I insane?
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
what the fuck
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
that's a visit to HR just waiting to happen
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Is that- that’s not what you do. In fact, that’s a terrible question to ask if you know someone’s WIFE died in your team
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And we’re like 10 people. This is not a huge group
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I still can’t get over it
Lady Stardust
ugh I died a little inside
M. Gustave
oh no
N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
wtf
N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
poor Nick ))):
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
oh god what is wrong with her
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Okay I’m glad I’m not nuts
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
please tell me someone called her out on it
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
No I think we’re all like
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
What do you do when you’re in a room with someone who just said “I’m definitely not an axe murderer’ in that same tone
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
I'd be the enemy here and go talk to her cause goddamn have some empathy
sAlty
oh my GOD what the heck
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
is she always like this
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
She’s new.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Since... Oct?
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
ooof even worse
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
...this the bitch didn’t give me my promotion
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
way to make a rep for yourself
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
FIGURES. THE DOG AND PONY BITCH
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
What was even more...
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Something
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
so it's clear she doesn't give a fuck about other people. you, Nick ..
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Was first guy up was like “best thing that happened to me was Tim left and I got a promotion’
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
....yiiiiikes
Jay
what... what the fuck
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
sir that's sure a way to phrase that
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
unprofessional.
Christmas Shard
Jesus everloving fuck.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
It was just... noooot the thing to ask.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Greg, promotion guy, is absolutely nice enough to have done that as a jab
Jay
poor Nick 
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh and as per a meeting I wasn’t on, she gave us reading to do.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So I get to read ‘expectation hangover’ cause what I wanted from work was HOMEWORK
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh and she’s backpeddling on not giving me position
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So she might
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh yeah Greg was helping me
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He just spoke up to clarify something
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And somehow she didn’t know Rebecca needed a second person
Airdra
What the hell, that's horrible
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
...homework
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
holy shit how do bad people become managers
CJ
what the shit
Kota
Oh my god. I'm in shock from this and I wasn't even there. I literally had my mouth hanging open
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
: I have no idea I’m still a little shell shocked
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I’m so glad you’re all with me that that was fucked it
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
*up I was wondering if I was just sensitive to her shit or what
Ainsley ☄
oh wow that was not appropriate for her to do that!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Yeah my husbands eyes popped when I told him
𝑀𝑜𝓃𝑔𝑜𝑜𝓈𝑒
Yeah that's a ... wow, either she's a sociopath or just outed herself as not paying a bit of attention to what is being said on her own meeting. Not that those two are mutually exclusive.

like, if she did forget that Nick's partner had passed away, because she's new-ish to the team, the appropriate response is to apologize and offer condolences when reminded, not blow it off.
spacey witchmas
what the fuck
spacey witchmas
let me at her, I'm gonna rip her 1800 new assholes
Lady Stardust
eat her shins
ReJenerator
coming in late to this. She needs my finest ~~cyanide~~ almond cookies
ReJenerator
She’s managed to go so far beyond “horrible person”, if you shined a light on her, the shadow would look like some kind of monster.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Yeaaaaah I just... we had the rest of the meeting but it was definitely more eye opening
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
spacey witchmas
: i read that as a phone number 1-800-new-assholes. call now for an ass kicking
LiberBEARian
Wow what the fuck
LiberBEARian
Report that shit
spacey witchmas
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
: I would 100% run that hotline also lmao I love your username and your current screen name
🎄𝓭𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓮𝓭🎄
“Take what we got” yikes
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Guess who gets to do two peoples jobs!!!!
ReJenerator
but no promotion, right? trusted with the workload, but not with the actual responsibility.
ReJenerator
this may be the time to look for something new
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Nope not yet she keeps talking around it
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
“Think of it like you own the space”
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
She mentioned a new person but not what position they’d be in
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
It’s so just toying with me so I’ll do what she wants
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Ffffffffffffff
Kota
Oh my god that's so shady!!!!!
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
man she is so lucky I'm not you. i would legit call her out on her talking around it bs. fuck you, pay me
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
She’s been using this issue with the job titles to cover things
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So I can’t even call her out.
ReJenerator
wait what what do you mean “cover things”
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So there’s process owner and process manager
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I’m the second one, Trischa was the first
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Apparently we were both in as change manager and all the other process folks were in as managers
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
So she’s trying to get that straightened out and in the meantime is being shady on if she’s going to promote me or search
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And whether new person will be above me or below me
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
honestly i think in any case as long as she's your boss it's time to look elsewhere
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
this won't be the last time she pulls this
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh absolutely not
ReJenerator
document the hell out of it. and maybe prepare to take it to next boss up
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh he’s useless
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And the one above is even worse
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Which is another reason I want to go
ReJenerator
lovely. give them poisoned soaps.
Lady Stardust
I love that plan
Ainsley ☄
mint! andcinnamon!
