He definitely deserved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-182732 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:57:20 +0000 Arden 182732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HAVE slapped a co-worker. After he grabbed my butt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-182718 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:44:48 +0000 Grace 182718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I did today. A co-worker and I were having a discussion and part way through, I realized that we were arguing the same point (just not understanding the way were describing it). So I tried to explain that we were on the same page. I said that she was misunderstanding what I was saying and she said that she wasn't (the discussion was getting heated by this time). But WTF? I was trying to agree with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-182261 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 18:24:42 +0000 Lindsay05 182261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The thing that makes me the most upset is those who abuse sick time. Usually when that person calls in sick it makes my day like 4 times busier somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-182187 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:29:07 +0000 mediagirl 182187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I constantly want to hurt the new guy. When you start at a new company, don't you try to use the same terminology the company you are working for uses so you sound the same as the rest of the team? This guy refuses to use some of our terminology, which is different than where he comes from. It usually just bothers me when I'm crabby but, dude. We call them customers, not clients.</p> <p>It's the little things... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-182055 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:54:03 +0000 autumnlove 182055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: No, my boss is the CEO. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181971 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:13:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 181971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a coworker who is difficult to work with. I always told people "if he goes postal, he's going to kill me first... so if anything happens to me, RUN!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181947 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:56:24 +0000 purrpletulips 181947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one of these, she actually covered for me during my last maternity leave. When I returned she forced me into looking for a new job. Luckily she felt too "big" for our group and left; things are much better now.</p> <p>Keep your head up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181942 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:48:55 +0000 Shutterbug 181942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: you should start leaving an hour early and if anyone asks why, just say you're taking all of your "smoke breaks" at once. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181932 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:34:53 +0000 Boogs 181932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain. I actually got yelled at when I addressed it with higher ups at one of my jobs, like lady literally got it my face screaming and accused me of not having enough work to do if I had so much time to watch what the lazy dude was up to. I had been so fed up and that was the final straw, so I straight up told her that I quit effective immediately. It really sucked, but my sanity couldn't take it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181852 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:27:38 +0000 MrsCastro 181852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a few here at work, one that takes 15-20 minute walks every hour or more depending on his stress level and the other who is the EA and doesnt know how to work a computer to save her life.....so frustrating!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181807 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:03:54 +0000 Rescuemom10 181807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh yes. There is a man that works in my building. Thank goodness I dont have to deal with him much but just the sight of him makes me so angry. He is seriously just a creep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181798 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:01:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 181798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Can you go ABOVE your bosses head? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181774 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:52:40 +0000 Alivoo01 181774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some contractors that was assisting me with some work awhile back and OMG!!! I think my blood pressure was through the roof and I was ready scream at the top of my lungs in frustration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181580 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:55:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 181580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not just slap, but punch, pitch and throw out the window. But this is the same person. I rarely HATE people but this guy rubs me the wrong way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181575 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:53:26 +0000 PBandBaseball 181575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work with a woman who thinks that she is the top dog in the department. In reality, she's the lowest person in terms of responsibility and pay grade. She is rude and condescending when she speaks to anyone and has made it clear that she does not care for me. The best part is that we share a cubicle wall and I can hear her talking about me to one of our coworkers and her friends when she spends about 5 hours a day on the phone with them. The day that she called me a princess when our boss told her to do something that she thought I should be doing was a highlight. I almost snapped but was proud of myself for keeping my fury in check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181023 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:47:12 +0000 autumnlove 181023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: It doesn't matter how busy we are, my boss will come by this coworker's desk and invite him to take a smoke break. WHAT THE F! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181022 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:44:56 +0000 autumnlove 181022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: i've done the BCC thing and nothing ever happens. :-( I think I need to set up a meeting to talk to my boss again, this is stressing me out too much! I actually switched departments a few years ago because of this coworker but my company had a series of layoffs last year so departments were merged and I am working with him AGAIN. I am grateful to have a job but he is the worst part of my day...5 days a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181007 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:26:52 +0000 eeh 181007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this might be the reason the blind cc was invented, no? Instead of him being aware you included the boss and therefore stepping up try sending him some emails where he doesn't know the boss knows and hopefully at some point bossman will see that his buddy is a slacker. </p> <p>Oh, and as for him having other people send you work..a simple forward every time should stop that. At the top put: Hey Joe Blow, Steve accidentally sent this to me. Since this is actually your responsibility I wanted to make sure you got all the information you need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-181000 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:17:22 +0000 mrsjyw 181000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVERY DAY.</p> <p>We have a coworker that my friend and I coded "Long Winded Eagle." Slacker of the team, which is bad enough, but wastes everyone else's time with long, drawn out useless conversations.</p> <p>I've grown numb to it for most days, but on days like today when I'm swamped and LWE is whistling on by... GRRRRRRRRR SO MAD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180998 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:15:09 +0000 BSB 180998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be passive aggressive back and send him an email and tell him for some reason you have been getting emails for things he should do.</p> <p>I admit I'm passive aggressive but you can sure play his game, too.</p> <p>Hi [insert coworker's name]-</p> <p>How are you? I'm good. I've been getting some emails from other coworkers for some tasks to do. I was under the impression that these were things you could do. I'm fairly busy right now and don't have much time to do them in addition to my own responsibilities. I can certainly find time but I may have tell [insert boss's name] that one of his deadlines may be delayed. Please let me know what I should do.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> [your name] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180997 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:14:49 +0000 mediagirl 180997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I don't like that he and your boss are buddies and your boss doesn't do anything about it. That is not.good.at.all.</p> <p>I would make sure you always copy your boss on emails you send to him. All of them. It might help somewhat. Ugh.</p> <p>@jessiejo17: haha, I hear this!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180991 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:06:37 +0000 autumnlove 180991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: LOL. Thanks for making me laugh about wanting to slap her every day! Maternity leave is wonderful. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180988 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:04:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 180988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one in particular who I could slap just about every day, it is no secret we do not care for each other. She is extremely anal and set in her ways, making no effort to listen to others. I finally brought it up to my boss (who knows the way she is, she has had issues with several people in the comapny) and that worked for maybe a week, and she's back to her old ways. SIGH come on maternity leave!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180987 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:03:40 +0000 Modern Daisy 180987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I feel for you 100%. One of my biggest work peeves is when people try to get out of doing their jobs. I'm not a manager, but part of my job is assigning the smaller tasks out to junior people so I can work on the bigger assignments and you wouldn't believe what some people will do to get out of doing any additional work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180983 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:02:38 +0000 MamaMoose 180983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All.The.Time. I have a coworker who is rude and condescending every time she's on the phone. Even with clients. And she has the most horrible voice ever. Many of us have told our boss this but she says since she's not around to hear it she can't do much about it. Uuuhhhhhh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-slap-a-coworker#post-180979 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:59:32 +0000 autumnlove 180979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, just having one of those days!</p> <p>I work with a guy that takes about 15 smoke breaks a day in addition to his lunch. He passes the buck on every task and is only productive when our boss is CCed on emails. I have tried talking to my boss about this but he is buddies with this coworker and he told me to just work it out. </p> <p>This coworker is extremely passive aggressive and he has people send me all kinds of tasks(that belong to HIM) when I work from home. I guess he doesn't think I am productive or is jealous that I work a few days from home?</p> <p>End vent. </p> <p>AHHHH! </p>
