needy co-workers
so i work some really wonderful people at my ft job. really good people. but omg, they are so needy, insecure, and lost. they need someone to tell them what to do when in every aspect of their lives.
co-worker A: she goes through men, money, and friends like gas in fire. she is well intentioned, but completely self absorbed and needs CONSTANT reassurance, external support, and direction. I really like her, but you can't trust her with anything. she tells everyone everything. and the stories she tells about herself are shocking. i just stand there gaping at her with total disbelief that anyone would tell her co-workers what she is saying.
co-worker B: just got married even though she talks about her now husband constantly - putting him down for his lack of initiative professionally, for being overweight, etc. when she talks about him none of us know what to say. they just got married earlier this month. I couldn't believe they went through with it. she controls him constantly. but passive aggressively. I given them 3 years before they divorce. I don't mean that in an unkind way, I really don't. it's just that there is no way they will make it for the long haul unless major things change in their relationship. it is painful to witness. co-worker B also has a nasty habit of telling everyone what they want to hear, so you can't trust anything she says ever.
co-worker C: o.m.g. she is maybe the neediest person I have ever known. I recently changed the nature of our relationship by telling her how much she hurt my feelings when I was talking to her about losing my grandfather and she interrupted me to talk about her recent love lost for the billionth time that week. I was already at a complete breaking point in listening to her talk about this guy that she knew for 3 weeks NON-STOP, but I was trying to be nice. but when she interrupted me to talk about it again I snapped (inside). when I talked to her about it later she was devastated, but it doesn't change the facts. I am done with that friendship, since it was a one-sided relationship all along anyway. she has been driving me crazy ever since trying to reestablish the friendship. I am done.
co-worker D: i work with one of the most extraordinary people ever. but i don't know if I can trust him. i want to. I used to think i could. but we had an important conversation a few weeks ago and something he said and didn't say made me question his loyalty. i don't know that i can count on him. i have been quietly and carefully pushing him away little by little since then.
my boss: omg he sucks! he does NOT put employees first at all. actually he puts himself first. the board second, the company third. customers forth, and employees dead last. I think employees are the company's most important asset and it is completely aggrevating to deal with him all the time. he just doesn't fucking get it. he is on final warning from the board and I can't wait to fill out another questionnaire for the follow up to his annual review. he may be fired. he is such a dumbass for not taking the BEAUTIFUL GENEROUS severance package the board offered him. what an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!! besides, i'd really like a chance at his job. if he got out of the damn way we could do so much with the company.
it is totally fucking pouring rain outside.
i don't want to go to work tomorrow at all.
