Rant alert, here it comes...(it's about the coworker I can't stand)

My supervisor has been on leave for a while to take care of her sister. She came back two weeks ago, but was basically remote. We got word Monday that her sister had passed away.

Yesterday, I got a Skype message around 9 am from my dreadful coworker. "Is your supervisor working from home today?" I walked down the hall to talk to her, and quietly told her that my supervisor's sister had passed away the day before and she was on leave.

My coworker's reaction? "Oh, sh*t, I wanted to ask to use her office."

That. Not, "Oh my gosh, that's terrible." Not, "Oh, no. I feel so bad for her." Which could have been followed up with, "Well, I hate to ask this, but we have a manager from Mexico who needs some place to work. Do you think she'd mind if we used her office?" Followed with some expressions of sympathy. Nope, just, oh darn, wanted to use her office.

I do not understand some people. Work is not more important than family; get over it. Ugh!

Sounds like she needs some sensitivity training. I mean, maybe she just figured she didn't need to express her sympathy to YOU, but still...not very...tactful.

Sounds like a completely toxic and delusional individual... :|

She's horrible. She's the same one who tried to tell my supervisor that I was on social media all day instead of working. And of course, my supervisor, who was gullible, believed her. My boss didn't buy it. Thankfully, he sees the woman for what she is. She's so completely full of herself. I also had to, a while back, complain about her to my supervisor because she was giving me stuff to do...and I finally told her no, I've got two million other things to do and I don't have time. I said to my supervisor that what she has me doing comes first. I think she's been talked to about how she treats me because she acts super nice around me, but I'm not buying it. I avoid her when I can.

Everyone else who I've told we kind of talk about it, and the usual reaction (and my reaction) is "Oh no!" It was not tactful at all. I've come to realize that she's very self centered, and that just proves it; that her initial reaction was, "Oh, carp, now I'm impacted." I'm sure when my supervisor gets back she'll be all sympathetic, but it'll be an act. It's always an act with her.

FYI, I did say yes to the manager using the office since I knew the manager and that everything confidential was locked up and put away. But still.

Well, we didn't hear anything. So DH called the new school...they said they get word from the parents, not the committee...they won't get word until WE tell them. Which is weird. So DH explains that the resource director at the old school said it had been approved and someone had called HER to get some information so they could place him in the right class. But, both the principal at the new school and the resource director who told us it had been approved are off on Wednesdays. So we can't get either one on the phone. So DH called the committee I think? and SHE said, yes it's been approved, but it has to go through the proper channels, so it will be next week at least before we get the official word. So he won't be starting next Monday. :banghead: So she confirmed that it's not a no, but we still have to play the waiting game for some reason.

Oh they'll be a long line of idiots after she leaves, or after you go on to another job down the road. As my hubs has mentioned to me before, "the people you work with, are also the same people who are out driving like lunatics on the roads . . ." :rolleyes: :D

That co-worker sounds icky. :(

Too bad about your supervisor's sister, sounds like they were close if she was helping take care of her.

The secret to success is to always pay off your credit card balances each and every month. Then you will never pay an penny's worth of interest, and your credit score will soar upwards in no time.

Thats basic, but not everyone has that luxury. I had to use my CC's to pay part of my processor update.
But I always envy the rates of American cards, my aunt says she gets 0% and 1% rates on almost all her cards, and even if she doesnt pay.. she can refinance to 0% later on.

Here in my country.. the minimum is 18% annual rate, most cards over in the ridiculous 50% rate.
If you ask for a smaller rate, they will laugh at you.

I feel so bad for my supervisor. Her mother has had health problems, her husband had surgery, and now this whole thing has happened with her sister. That poor woman. And her only vacation this year was a short trip to the beach.

At least at work they've reassigned some of her responsibilities to a new manager who I really like working with. That should help with her workload; in addition to all of this, she was working 50+ hour weeks. Which, to be honest, is not healthy for her, and it's hard to work for someone whose stress level is through the roof all the time.
