USELESS Co-workers!!!!!! (A rant!)

[Zomby Woof]

Does anyone else here have a USELESS, OXYGEN-SUCKING PIECE OF PROTOPLASM as a co-worker?????? :nuke:

One who calls in sick a lot, or offers some other lame excuse or another, or somehow allows their unfinished work or unhappy clients to become YOUR problem???

Especially during a BUSY time of year for your job?

Are you the only one who is called when this useless piece of slug shit shirks their responsibilities?

Fuck 'em!! I screen my calls for a good reason. They will just have to SUFFER because of their decision to allow this useless idiocy, this worthless part-time space-occupier's absence, without ever being canned or reprimanded, to continue causing them grief UNTIL MY ACTUAL SHIFT BEGINS.

:grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :argh:

Share your useless co-worker stories here!

1. I work with several n/t

[bleedingheart]

2. I know of one who keeps getting promoted

first she got a job with the company...did nothing...got pregnant and then did even less and missed work constantly (i am a working mom and have worked through two pregnancies and this woman was extremely lazy in my opinion)....
maternity leave...
came back from maternity leave and knew she would get fired..because she didn't do anything... got promoted to our group even though it required an engineering degree she got in because she said "I can try"... her husband left her within 8 weeks of working in our office and she did nothing but cry for 5 months and did nothing...absolutely nothing... then we found out that she was in chat rooms the entire time looking for husband number two...she schnagged him before she had been divorced a year...
then she got promoted again because they didn't want to fire her ...now she can't do the job she is in...so we are expecting another pregnancy or she will get promoted or leave...
we can only hope for the latter...

did I mention she loves to spread gossip...

she makes my skin crawl...

6. No co-workers, useless higher-ups and "clients"

My co-workers rock, all sharp guys and masters of their crafts. and the immediate Supers are good, too.

Then we get into the Assistant VP's and the like who are only here to build their resumes for a year or so. I'm sorry, dude, but if you're not gonna sell your house 900 miles away and put down some roots in this area, I got no use for you, because everything you put in place will be countermanded by the NEXT "Bungie-Boss" they bring in. Shit, man, I LOST my house 70 miles away when I moved up here, that's how serious I am about being here. What about you?

Then I got this one client who's taken advanytage of me in the past and caused me grief, who makes about 35% more than I do, yet i not only am expected to keep his stuff running, But I also have to RE-TEACH this strainer-brain on how to operate his own gear.

I figure if I'm expected to know how to operate the shit as well as fix it, I deserve my salary and HIS, as well....

"Hey, Baby, I don't know how to ride 'em, I just make 'em GO..."
