Colleagues you dislike / like - Rants & Raves

[plasterger]

I hate SELFISH, only think of themselves, thinking he is right all the times....Hates this kind of colleagues.

one incident happened yest....very very angry with this male colleague

my luggage is full and i check with him last night if he can spare some space for me in his luggage because he is carrying a large size luggage, whereas i am carrying a small size one.
he simply exclaimed ' Do you know I have to carry back your stuff back to office when we are back in SG ?!'
Hey, I was thinking he drives to work. is it really that troublesome?? and he is guy...i am a woman afterall.....and I am not asking alot, it is just a standard size paper carrier bag - those isetan paperbag size only. and to think he lets a woman carry so many stuff to the airport...where he has spare space in luggage and back to SG he is driving to work, not taking public transport. If it is real troublesome, ok fine, but why is he able to help my other male colleague bring stuff back to SG & vice versa bring stuffs to Japan - milo cans, canned foods etc if he says it is troublesome ?? Double standard right ??!!

damn angry, complained to my BF. my BF comforted me last night over phone. I will have to carry my slingbag, my document bag and a paper carrier bag and drag my luggage...damn heavy.
he is really not a gentleman. all the while, I thought he is a nice guy. only when goes on business trip with him, see the other side....really cannot judge a book by its cover !!!

Colleagues are still colleagues after all....

Namida, I also dislike people who Act like a saint as if she has never make a mistake in her life & Never admit she is at fault even though she is~!!! My ex-boss was like this....and I learn a phase from my ex-colleagues
" If you are good, you don't have to say you are good, because people will say it for you ! "
We purposely put this phase on our MSN nick that time together
don't know for what purpose, but we just feel like that is a channel where we can gossip about her. hehe

plasterger: I agree what you said, is hard to trust colleagues. They may be very nice to you but at your back they may backstabbed you at any time. I still have to set a wall in between, whether they can be trusted to be a friend cum colleagues...

[namida]

colleagues are only colleagues. after i left the place, i dont keep in touch with them ..only few i do so.

and..i agree strongly with this-->" If you are good, you don't have to say you are good, because people will say it for you ! "

Good topic! Hit the nail of my heart! Every company sure breeds some " Black Sheeps", is only bad or mild type.

I have been tortured by so called Colleagues of mine (same Admin. department) for five years. I been hoping changing job but delayed until now. My hubby found a steady job now after studies, I could tender my resignation now without fear of finances problems.

Pantry Maid worked more than 10 years
At first I treated her as elder ( i thought she like pervious compamy's pantry aunty, very loving) but disappointed, she's one of company gossip starters. She dare to ask me to do her works when she busy chatting with receptionist, eg bring bottles of mineral water to bosses' rooms, cleaned their tablets and phones, even instructed me don't leave any water streaks behide. Blood boiled! Everytimes I have to search up and low for her when bosses's guests needed to serve drinks.

Receptionist worked more than 15 years
When I newly joined, I knew she's one of MC Queen. She liked to take Medical Leave on Mondays. She used to give problems to my officer, so my officer left her alone. When I gained favour from my officer, she changed abit. Well, I mean she don't used up 14 days medical leaves a year now. I know she green eyed of me, she like to me when I was around.

Shipping Assistant worked more than 6 years
I only joined 5th day, she wanted to borrow money from me ( she done that to other s too). God! I turned her down immidiately, her face turned blue. Bottom of my heart, I know she only can classify as Colleague. She is one of the gang above.

Officer worked 8 years
She act likes a big sister to me, control my movements. I feel tired sometimes her mood swing when bosses stressed her. I would become her punching bag! There few times I tender my letter, she gave me various reasons to stay.

Minoru, ya, agree with you...we have to set a wall, you never know.......what will happen next in the company, friends changes, so are colleagues, who knows now they may be good to you and next moment they may filled with envy and backstab you.
i rem in my ex-company, my superior backstab me just to protect herself from being scolded by the dept manager. see, even my own superior backstab me, not to mention colleagues of the same position.

namida, actually me too.......i only keep in touch with a few, and they are people who share the same interest as me - SHOPPING ! haha, sometimes, we do come out and shop or go for a drink.

Very true!

As i was inexperienced and eager to please, ready to trust anyone who gave me a helping hand, i was facing pressure from my boss as i was so called team leader by default aft my area was up and running..
this fella who was new in my team but so much very experience and cunning gave me advice and helped me out with handling the boss and co workers, as time passed.
i was bowled over by his charisma and help, he was like a angel in disguise, i eventually told my boss that he was much capable to lead, mths latr, he became the TL.

he became satan lar!
he was like making use of me and now he shown his true colors.
Now the whole team hates him to the core.
He sucks up,
backstabs
drives the whole team crazy with his demanding attitude,
make us appear useless to the boss
really f***up way he treats me +everyone now.

if killing wasnt ilegal, he wld be dead by now!

ARRGGHHH!!!!

[Minoru]

is really hard to trust Colleagues, they may had two sided faces and you will never know which side of the face the person tried to show.. money already hard to earn, they still making our life worse

[cc_lia]

interesting thread!

And I definitely got backstabbed by my colleague when I first joined the company she is like 2 headed snake! Even now still got traits but not so obvious...worst because she might do some sneaky attacks

anyway better to keep safe distance from anybody in the company really when come to work or benefits it will be own war. *sigh*

[jupiter_wind]

Wow... I've got so many to state:

1) Clerk A: treats you very nice when you just join the company (or if you are an attachment student), pay for lunch etc. Then starts talking bad about other staff, tells lies about other staff, wants you to run errands for her. If you do not gossip with her or agree with her, you'll be the next one she talks bad or gossip about. She also likes to carry tales to boss and suck up to boss. Blames others when she made mistakes. Thinks she's indispensable!

2) Ex-colleague B: Think she's very pretty, no figure but still likes to wear figure-hugging clothes, squeezes zits while talking to you, nit-picks on people, then cries when she loses an arguement (started by her in the first place)

3) Colleague C: The wily old fox, does minimal amount of work. Although our work requires a certain amount of walking around, more than 70% of her work time is spent with her butt stuck to a chair. Her horns and pointed tail are really obvious on weekend duties, when there is only one other person working with her: she just sits in front of her computer staring into space, leaving work to the other person...

4) Colleague D: When she's in a good mood, she'll be nice to you, laugh and chit-chat. When she's in a bad mood. her face blacker than Justice Bao. When her good friends are not at work, she'll talk to you. When her good friends are at work, she'll ignore you and doesn't let them talk to other people too (she'll call the person to go away from whoever they talking to).
