[wooork] ...holy shit I’m still in shock (work horror story)
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So it’s our first team meeting of the year
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And as an ice breaker she asks ‘what good thing happened in 2021 for you’
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So we get to Nick who is the nicest guy with the woooorst luck
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And we know it’s going to be hard for him since he lost his long time partner and mother of his children
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And he mentions a trip he took with the kids to help process their grief, gently talking around the obvious
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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’
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And we’re all sitting there like holy shit silent
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And Nick, after a breath or two, goes “I don’t know if I mentioned but I lost ____’s mother last year”
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And she, sounding like a pleasant happy devil from the depths of hell, goes ‘yes, you did!” Like it’s a funny joke
saku 🌠
...
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And there’s just silent on the line before he goes
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
“...okay” and then she launches into her own thing
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
My soul is literally just staring at the camera still
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Like wtf
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Am I insane?
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
what the fuck
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
that's a visit to HR just waiting to happen
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And we’re like 10 people. This is not a huge group
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
I still can’t get over it
Lady Stardust
ugh I died a little inside
no citations

𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
oh god what is wrong with her
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Okay I’m glad I’m not nuts
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
please tell me someone called her out on it
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
No I think we’re all like
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
She’s new.
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Since... Oct?
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
ooof even worse
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
...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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
What was even more...
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Something
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
so it's clear she doesn't give a fuck about other people. you, Nick ..
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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.
Shard-o-lantern
Jesus everloving fuck.
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
It was just... noooot the thing to ask.
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Greg, promotion guy, is absolutely nice enough to have done that as a jab
Jay
poor Nick 
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Oh and as per a meeting I wasn’t on, she gave us reading to do.
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So I get to read ‘expectation hangover’ cause what I wanted from work was HOMEWORK
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Oh and she’s backpeddling on not giving me position
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So she might
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Oh yeah Greg was helping me
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
He just spoke up to clarify something
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
: I have no idea I’m still a little shell shocked
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
I’m so glad you’re all with me that that was fucked it
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
*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!
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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.
hobbats
what the fuck
hobbats
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.
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Yeaaaaah I just... we had the rest of the meeting but it was definitely more eye opening
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
hobbats
: 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
hobbats
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡
: I would 100% run that hotline also lmao I love your username and your current screen name
🙀sᴄᴀʀᴇDᴇᴇ Cᴀᴛ🙀
“Take what we got” yikes
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Nope not yet she keeps talking around it
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
“Think of it like you own the space”
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
She mentioned a new person but not what position they’d be in
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
It’s so just toying with me so I’ll do what she wants
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
She’s been using this issue with the job titles to cover things
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So I can’t even call her out.
ReJenerator
wait what what do you mean “cover things”
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
So there’s process owner and process manager
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
I’m the second one, Trischa was the first
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Apparently we were both in as change manager and all the other process folks were in as managers
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
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
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Oh absolutely not
ReJenerator
document the hell out of it. and maybe prepare to take it to next boss up
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Oh he’s useless
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
And the one above is even worse
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
Which is another reason I want to go
ReJenerator
lovely. give them poisoned soaps.
Lady Stardust
I love that plan
Ainsley ☄
