Ok, its rant time again. So... I work with this woman - she is pretty descent a lot of the time. A little intense a little in your face - but you know - pretty descent. So yesterday I was leaving work:
ME: Do you need anything before I go?
HER: No
ME: Ok, well have a good night
HER: ....
ME: I'll see you tomorrow:
HER: ....
so I leave - maybe she didn't hear me... maybe I didn't hear her - I leave and there is a big fed-ex box for her by my desk - I go to tell her - maybe it's something she's waiting for... she should know its there... you know - normal for me to go tell her
ME: There is a HUGE fed-ex box for you by my desk do you want me to drag it in here?
HER: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
ME: What?
HER: CAN YOU LEAVE?
ME: Um... what?
HER: JUST LEAVE?
ME: ok
I leave. I get outside. I worry... what if something is wrong
I go back (this was my mistake)
ME: (in the gentlest voice I can muster) Hey, are you ok? Can I help you with something? I'm happy to stay a bit longer.
HER: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?!??!
ME: I am simply asking if you re ok
HER: I'm fine, now get out!
ME: Ok, I can appreciate that you're upset right now, but honestly, you have no right to speak to me that way
HER: (In the most condescending tone I have EVER heard in my ENTIRE life - seriously, she turns and looks at me and says) If you don't like the way I am speaking to you then get out of my office. What? What's the problem? What do you want me to say? If you have a problem with me - get out!
Um... did I miss something? Is offering to help someone like - the worst. thing. ever? I don't get it.
I work with ALL women... me plus FIVE OTHER WOMEN - and yah .... we all get bitchy - but never in my entire life would I EVER speak to or co-worker that way. Usually - we give a warning when we get in "Hey, how are you? Oh good - I am super bitchy" then we know - stay back. But this chick was in a freakin great mood all day - then 3:00 rolls around and its time to cage the beast. What is us up with that? Isn't that a bit unprofessional? I mean, we have to work together - Every. Single. Day. of the week!
Am I wrong?
Am I the bitch here?
I was totally excited to go and pick up my wedding band, but I was so upset by the time I left the building I just went home :( so now it just sits at the jewellers.

Well you were obviously way out of line by saying goodnight and leaving! What were you thinking?? j/k! People suck. Most of them let you down or pull crap like your co-worker. That's why I only have a few people I am truly close to.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm curious what happened today. You HAVE to follow up with this one!
Ah this is horrible. I work with all men and sometimes I wish for some more women, but this makes me question it all.
ReplyDeleteI’m just learning how co workers can be. I usually trust them. But some don’t really take it as were like family because we have to see each other everyday and work with each other. So now I only trust a few and try to just keep it professional without involving my self anymore that I have to. All you did wrong was care =/
ReplyDeleteI think she was the witchy one. I aplaud you for checking back on her. You totally didn't deserve her bad attitude shooting at you the way it did. Maybe she was PMSing or just got some bad news she didn't want to share with anyone? I'd say continue to be polite (like say hi) and then run! LOL! I'm J/K! I would just say hi and KISS (keep it simple stupid) though. She definitly doesn't sound like 'friend' material.
