poo stiring!

[kates]

Anyone else have that one person in the office that continues to poo stir everything, doesn't pass messages, doesn't do their job properly, but still seems to come out of everything smelling of roses!

I've been applying for other jobs purely because of this 1 person.

The trouble I have to clear up the mess she seems to leave every day is horrendous.

I love my job and the people I work with but the trouble she is causing, daily, is making me not want to come in, infact I didn't yesterday because I couldn't face it.

Boss seems to think there is nothing wrong. even after I produced a spread sheet of issues.

Shall I just give up and keep job hunting.

I think so!

rant over!

Yes, when I worked in a newspaper office, it was my boss!

Yep know of a few people like this, there is one in my Husbands office he flatters all the Lady's and they think he great....then he calls them behind there backs, he swans around making out hes busy when he does nothing , then jokes about it with my husband....who wants to say so much but doesnt...because like you say HE will come up smelling of roses.....im a great believer of what goes around comes around ...so will wait

There are a few i know in the horse world aswell, everyone thinks there loverly, but then you see the other side , but can't say anything because they have fooled too many people, one in particular comes on here and when you read the posts , a friend and i cringe....its laughable......again it will come

i'm just at the end of my tether now...she does half days so i get no end to deal with in the afternoon.... two others see what i see, sadly one isn't the boss...

i keep waiting but after 5 years i doubt its comming

My mum has someone in her office and it is the person that works below her :/

Don't clear up her mess. Tell callers that she's dealing with it & to call back & ask for her personally in the morning. And leave a call log on her desk.

Don't waste your time making spreadsheets about her negative points. That's giving it attention. Make a list of your strong points & attach it to your CV.

Give it a couple of weeks of zero tolerance. If you make no progress, then you have to decide whether you like your job enough to stay. But don't do hers for her.

I am very luck in the fact there is one other woman works in our office, we both started within a week of each other, are a similar age and have both been there and done that career wise with little interest in career progression anymore .. we just want the quiet life. She has the same sence of humor as me and we spend most our day laughing our way through our work. The rest of the office are men and so no bit*hing.
I have worked in places where there is "the one" and it's awful. They are generally blissfully happy while they make everyone else's life a misery. Move on .. there are better working environments. At the end of the day, we spend most out time at work so it makes for a better life if it's a happy place.

I think there is 1 of these in every business/yard/group of friends etc!
Kates, perhaps the boss is already collating this persons problems herself and does not wish to make the situation worse by discussing it with colleagues/clients etc.

Agree with Mirsoa as that is exactely what I would do, if you continue to clear up her mess then your boss will never notice that she is not pulling her weight within the team.

If this continues go directly to your boss again ask for a private meeting and explain how this person is causing the team to become demotivated, upsetting clients' and not working within a team.
Also explain how you have proven this in black and white and wonder what they are going to do to overcome this problem as it is putting extra strain/work load on the team..
I wouldn't metion that you have a problem directly with her as she may percieve this as you just don't like the colleague in question.
Hope it gets sorted soon; this is not the economy to begin a job hunt!
Good luck xx
