Stupid Bosses

I work in a business office that has control freakin fools in charge. Although the dress code is not strict, for some reason the fools in charge decided to go ballistic about what constitutes a sandal. One of the employees wore white sandals one day that had a strap between her toes. A big, huge deal was made as to whether this was considered a flip flop or a sandal. One of the supervisors actually made her walk to see if it made a ‘flip-flop’ sound! This turned into a big meeting and the next day a memo was sent out to the entire company banning any type of shoes that went between the toes or made a ‘flip-flop’ sound. How ridiculous is this? You would think there would be more important things to do! What a bunch of freakin control freaks!

Stupid CoWorkers

I work in an office area where we sit close to each other (but not in cubicals). We each get our own computer, desk space and trash bins. The co-worker on the right of me is a germaphobic. I’m ok with being clean and everything, but this is a bit extreme.

My co-worker get so upset when her trash bin gets almost half-full, she cannot stand it. So, while I am in a meeting, at lunch, or just anytime I am away from my desk, she will empty her trash into my container. This must go on 3 to 4 times a day. While I have confronted her about this (in a nice matter) she totally denied it.

I wouldn’t care except then my trash overflows and makes me look like a complete slob. I just cannot believe someone would be so rude!

Stupid CoWorkers

We have an executive assistant here at our company who is just unbearable. She is rude, gossips constantly, and is a busy body who just will not concentrate her efforts on her own life. We have doctors who will call me and ask that I please not tell them that I need to talk to HER. Other people in the office ask how I deal with working so closely with her. Mostly, I have told them that I feel sorry for her, and how it must be rough to be such an unhappy person and lead such a lonely life.

Stupid Bosses

Boss comes into work, goes into his office without a hello, closes the door and locks himself inside (!), cackles occasionally, making no other noise. A quick dash out to the driveway to peek into the window finds him on the sports site of a major newspaper. Binoculars confirm it: turns out he’s been listening to hours of football podcasts while he’s supposed to be available…open door policy and transparency and all that.
