Wow, you know, wow. I'd really like to know how it's possible that I can work with someone who conducts herself like a pissy little teenage drama queen and be told that it's because she's "frustrated" by the sort of work she has to do -- which is, primarily, my work.

Excuse the fuck out of me. Since when is it any company's or supervisor's responsibility to make certain that an employee's work is tailored to her particular taste, or else have to tolerate that employee not only having a shockingly uncooperative attitude but producing shit work as well? Hmm? The work is the work. It needs to fucking get done and that's all there is to it. And anyone who doesn't find it entertaining or fulfilling has a responsiblity either to put up with it -- quietly -- or get the fuck out. I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick of coddling little pissant brats and tiptoeing around their delicate, presumptuous, self-entitled sensiblities and trying to ensure that they "enjoy" their work enough to do a good job. I've hated every goddamn job I ever had, and sure as shit no one ever went out of their way to cater to me or make sure that I was entertained -- nor would I ever, in a million years, have expected anyone to do so. I dealt with it or I left. Period.

Good-fucking-night.

I don't think it's just a younger generation thing because I work with a woman who is in her 50's and if I looked under the dictionary for "uncooperative" or "anti-team player" - I'm sure her picture would be there. Today, like most days that end in 'y', she reminded me what a petty, control freak she is. Grrrr.

Additionally, she does nothing but complain about the work she does. So I am totally with you on the - if she doesn't find it entertaining or fulfilling has a responsiblity either to put up with it -- quietly -- or get the fuck out. But I doubt that'll happen - she's planning on retiring from this gig. Double ARGH!

The only thing I have going for me is that essentially she's sort of afraid of me - mostly because I try to call bullshit on her attitude. But lately, I'm just tired of it. We are all trying to make ourselves look good to ensure we are employed - can't we agree as a team that we all need our jobs? - I guess I missed the memo that stated it's "everybdy for themselves."

What shocks me about her attitude is that so many people in my company have tried to "up their game" because business is so bad and we are scrambling to get the little bit of ad money that is left out there and meanwhile she's sitting there and whining instead of getting with the frigging program. We are busting our asses trying to keep this company viable so that we can keep our jobs and she's playing the It's-All-About-Me game.
