This week was the week from HELL!
I was given a Work Order that was a week old and that I needed to install 13 PCs. Not so bad except the fact that they were going to have a class in that room the next day using those very PCs. And did I tell you that I recieved the WO late in the afternoon?
Well I started the WO the following day and they couldn't have the class - HA! But in the WO they had partial information (which is typical) from an e-mail. I was given the WHOLE e-mail and it contained all the node names and which PCs they are assigned to. Not a big deal - except the portion that WAS included in the WO were the wrong names that the user wanted!
And because I was going by the CUSTOMER'S request I couldn't join the Domain. (I know that this is a lot of geek talk here) SO I called our folks who assign the neames and 1) One wouldn't answer her phone dispite people saw her sitting there and 2) the other person was "too busy" to do anything on short notice.

For non-specified, general rants about what a complete and utter tool your colleague is, please post here. As much as we would like to see true justice done, we have to remind you not to use real names of the people you're venting about ... for legal reasons! I would really like some ideas on how to knock my boss of his high horse. I am running out of ideas. He spends the entire day in front of a damn computer, bitches at us for doing his work for him wrong when we only get half the information on how to do it, and he is impossible to talk to, he is always right and no matter what you say, its an attack at him or so he thinks.....among other things....any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I work with three of the most stuck up, backstabbing, conviving, elderly retired bitches in the world. They spread rumors and talk about everyone behind their back and then I get blaimed for it. When I bring up a problem, I am told that no one else has any issues with it. they kiss the bosses ass and tell her everything is great and she is dumb enough to believe it! then they go and talk about her to clients and say she is not running her business well and tons of other things! I am totally tired of not being able to trust anyone anymore!

A few years ago I recruited a colleague to our company -- What A Mistake.
Turns out she is off scale on the competitiveness index and views me as a competitor... She has bad mouthed me all around the company. She ran a meeting with our junior employees and used it as an excuse to dig up dirt on me and another colleague.
I though we were rid of her last year but her blow hard husband (yeah there are 2 of them) is a dead weight and the other company didn't offer him a position.
My company was so happy to have her stay that they made her a VP! Now she has even more power to dump on anyone and everyone.
My boss is so afraid of her that he gave one of my projects to her husband! Sheesh. My boss even admitted to me what he'd done as he lamented that a year after he gave the project to the blow hard nothing had happened. The BH is still in my dept and acts like he runs the place. His wife's power has gone to his head.
HELP! I need out of this sick place.
I bought the book called "The No Asshole Rule"

There's only three of us in my department. My manager and her other employee (we will call the penguin).
Unfortunately, I am the newest member of the department (3 years), so the penguin thinks she is also my supervisor. She constantly walks behind my desk and looks at my computer screen and asks me what I am doing, why I'm doing, have I showed it to our boss yet, what's in that envelope that you sent so & so...... She always has her nose in everything. I would understand these lines of questioning if I had ever done something questionable or wasted time at work. However, I have not.
The other day I asked her if she needed anything to do. LOL I got a nasty glare. Now she just walks by practicly turning her head backwards like an owl when she walks by trying to see what I'm working on. DRIVES ME CRAZY!
Also, she has scheduled days off (every other friday) and she reminds me constantly that since I'm new, I have no opportunity to have SDOs. Keep in mind, I never bring up the topic....she just likes to tell me over and over randomly.

My supervisor was a sexist pig, because I was a young female he thought I was useless and patronized me constantly. He deliberately would not give me work however much I asked for it and sent me home early. When things went wrong and we were behind schedule I got the blame. Then my sweet (anything but) boss fired me over the phone after asking me if I wanted to say anything to defend myself (he didn't say against what). I honestly have no idea what the problem was. Now someone has told me it is common for company's to take on juniors for three months and fire them just before they are required to give them a pay-rise. I turned down two good jobs for this one and cancelled a holiday with friends so I could do extra work.

My boss BB has two pets in my department. These guys are major dicks, always walking around like they own the place. They also spy on everyone. If I make one little mistake, BB finds out right away. Of course, their mistakes are always covered up.

Well I am a writer in a newspaper and am the oldest of the team members (3). I am most experienced, have worked hard in the last 2 years and my boss has literally called me the best worker ample number of times. But when it comes to rewards, others get in and win and I am left standing like a fool. Thing is, my boss likes her a** to be licked and others do it. however, I do the work. I also tried to be her way and be her bitch but lets just say others can lick better than me. Unfortunately, my team-mates' licking has made me hate them. I like my work but I can't bring myself to even go to office and see them. They are all f**ing a**h***s. I need to change my job but its not going to be easy or fast. I need help... just any advice would do. Does anyone have a solution?

We've got a project on worth my year's wages, which our client has no hesitation to remind us while we're on the phone. You can almost hear the ice crack while the Boss man's stress is going OVERLOAD. He starts laughing about getting another bahookey cigar that's worth 2 months rent, and that he needs to feed his habit. It's awful.... The client on the other end: "[silent]... uh okay." Today, he was snowed in.... again.
So he phones in at 6:45pm, 15 minutes AFTER my hours finish. The ringing is incessant, I pick it up because John and Matt are off (cuz they need to catch the bus). And it's Matt's last day anyway. Never again.
He says he's looked at the file I finished with and it's not finished. Course it's not finished! I'm 50% through what I needed to do, which is setting up the database for coding, which takes ages, and he's expecting 100%. He says "I dont want to waste any more time.... blah blah blah". So what I've spent most of my day doing is a blinking waste of my blinking time. Blinking waste of my blinking life. He starts to accuse me that I didn't do what I agreed to do: that's because it takes ages to set up! and the files I have to work with have to be sorted out because its a mess , by a web designer, designing for a website, not database programming. I just said "I got to go home, the window guy is coming round".
The rest of that 50% he's talking about can be done really quickly, it's mind numbingly boring work: punching in repetitive data for the template I spent ages setting up. He's so stressed out, it doesnt come across well over the phone, especially because I'm the one who got up and got in this morning!, And he didn't even make it through the front [expletive] door!
Apparently, according to experts, overworked individuals often get that way because they’re good at what they do and because they get things done. Consequently, management gives them more responsibility. Second, apparently, folks need to set hard boundaries about work hours and e-mail and cell phone availability. These walls will keep work from leaking into other parts of their life, and thereby from overwhelming them and creating additional stress.

My work colleagues are all snide little bitches. They all gossip about each other behind each other backs. Our receptionist always buggers off to gossip so I end up leaving my office to answer the door, and the rest of the admin think they are bosses when they are not, treat each other the same and complain that each other think they are bosses. Jesus christ, they are the sort of women that give we women a bad name. I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest their backsides!!!!

Dear Colleague Haters: We all know that some co-workers are more like co-wankers. A select group of my associates inspired me to coin the phrase "You might have a foolproof plan, but the fools have you outnumbered." At this very moment, you might be sitting next to a Wind Tunnel, Confidential Informant, Half-Brother or Ikea Employee.

My boss is more busy with random projects outside of the company. babysitting kids for friends, gardening etc. She dumps the company on me, expects everything to run smoothly while giving me no authority whatsoever. instead she hires about 6 people for a tiny company and none of them want to work more than 1 or 2 days a week! none of them want to take any responsibility for anything, to finish work on time, and needless to say that when I ask them to commit to 5 days a week they tell me to fuck off and remind me that I'm not their boss. Talking to my boss about it - is no help. She has absolutely no care for what I have to say. she discusses every serious decision in the company with either of these people that work only once a week or her kids. needless to say that the company is not doing too well, as all of my co-workers just say what my boss wants to hear and compliment her ever decision. Her latest project is renovating her house. she dropped about 15 000 on it so far and now we have no money in the company bank account to pay the mortgage - let alone wages. I wish I could change my job, but with the crisis there are not many options on the job market.
