Work colleagues


Recommended Posts

They have asked me to cover a phone whilst the person is out of the office for an hour - its taken me 25 minutes to notice that they have switched the ringer off and therefore I cant actually tell when a call is coming in.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Most folk in this office have a different ringtone for their desk phone.

Despite this there are still folk who ask 'who's phone is that?' when one is ringing. These are folk who have been here for years.

 

In a previous workplace a colleague started calling me 'Harry Potter' because I wore glasses. Such patter. She genuinely thought it was hilarious and some others found it really funny as well.  Just awful chat.

You should've called her '3'.  And when she questioned it, tell her that was what she was out of 10.

I don't look anything like him. It was simply because I wore glasses.

I'm not a cruel man. I just made a face that was a mixture of exasperation, bemusement and pity.

In my day it was 'Joe 90'. But then we were ten-year-old kids so there was some excuse.

Tell her your new nickname should be Johnny Two Times then tell her to f**k off.  Twice.

In a previous workplace my boss decided to do a lookalike quiz like a pub quiz picture round of everyone in his team. I was Harry Potter in that purely because I wore glasses. They weren't even round glasses, rectangular frameless glasses, obvious link to Harry Potter!

It was years ago that I finished/was punted from that place.

It's just such unoriginal chat. A total lack of wit.

Sounds like an opportunity. You should be able to trace all life problems and health issues back to this cruel bullying, and sue the f**k out of her and the company.

Obviously I'm not suggesting it was actually bullying, but they deserve it for the shite patter.

A couple of crackers are at my work just now.

A new "domestic assistant" started a couple of months ago, and he's one of those people who talk a power of shite and do anything apart from their actual job. Numerous complaints have been made already about him not cleaning rooms properly and leaving storerooms containing dangerous equipment and chemicals wide open. This guy went on a rant last week about the organisation employing two receptionists, saying that the organisation was "haemorrhaging money" by employing two receptionists. I almost replied that the company was haemorrhaging money by employing fuckwits like him.

A "handyman" started around the same time, and highlights of his tenure so far include him sawing the bottom off a door (which was too tight and was scraping the floor when you opened or closed it) while it was still attached to the doorframe, locking numerous doors that require to be permanently open to allow access, and removing perfectly functioning locks from doors, tampering with them so that they don't work anymore then putting them back on only to have to repeat the process again. Oh, and he left a Stanley knife lying around in a locked ward containing Mental Health patients. He has also made numerous comments about wanting to "do" young Japanese women so is definitely OFTW.

Any suspicions of beastliness when he was your colleague?
