RANT: Co-Workers...

NOW this is getting interested. Someone pass the popcorn and a tissue. I see a butthurt coming!

You know what I hate? Coworkers choose to be the pariah while denigrating their co-workers. We all have our jobs. Sometimes those jobs overlap and sometimes they don't. But some co-workers choose to be abrasive, subversive and worry entirely too much about what their co-workers are doing rather than the task(s) at hand.
If you don't want to help, say so. If you're too busy, say so, but if you've got enough time to worry over, and complain about your co-workers, then you can't be so busy that you can't help your co-workers, and by extension the company, out once in a while rather than discussing beef jerky or deer jerky recipes (some of us have ears too).

By the way, everyone, Whitey is trying to talk about some of us that troll this site who are also blessed to work with him.
He feels downtrodden and overworked. When he talked about calling in sick, he was talking about me. And it's true, I've had to call in sick several times, but it's also true that I've used a ton of vacation days for sick days, when I was out for surgery, etc. It's also true that I head in on Saturdays or all weekend to make up the days that I missed. I've never seen Whitey prowling the office on a weekend.

There are a whole lot of issues when it comes to Whitey, but for the life of me, I can't understand why. It's a job. Do it and go home and be with your family. If the people affect you enough that you have to think about it, stew and complain all the time, something else is wrong.

Just curious as to what kind of work you guys do?

Probably more paper cuts than blisters or splinters.

How can this be Whitey? Don't all Americans take pride in their work?




All jokes aside, I feel for you. This was one of the main reasons I retired from the Marines at 21 years. When it was time for staff billets those who worked hard and produced quality work got the shaft by always being dumped on. Short fuse taskers, high visibility projects, and the likes. Situations like yours don't stop until you drop one of the 8 balls your juggling but people that work their butts off don't drop balls. Right?

I retired from the Marines after 21 years cause I was getting too dang old and beat the hell up.
