Attack Of The Killer Co-Worker

June 28th, 2007 . by Erin

We’ve all seen them. They lurk in corners or over hear you in the bathroom stall and they are annoyingly everywhere you are. That’s right… I’m talking about the co-workers from hell!

There is nothing more annoying then a co-worker who blatantly has in for you without any real cause except for the fact that you’re just plain better at your job. These people will do anything to point out what you’re doing wrong or how you’ve offended them in some way even though you’ve never really ever talked to them.

I’ve never been good at brown nosing, so when these people come after me the only rapport I have with my bosses is the fact that I’m honest and a very good worker. Unfortunately to my discredit I have one ridiculously sarcastic mouth. Apparently sarcasm offends people. Whatever… deal with it! Needless to say I feel trapped when confronted with ‘said’ loathsome person and therefore as the ‘fight or flight’ responses would have it, I end up attacking.

I have to say that being so very unhappy to the point that you feel the need to ruin other people is almost like a full time job in and off itself. I give them props on their work ethic, of course if they had actual work ethic they wouldn’t have to find ways to get rid of you and therefore bumping up their sociopathic standing in the world.

I’ve worked with the best of this particular breed of human, but there is only one that comes to mind when I think of what not to do. Making people miserable and constantly getting them into trouble is seedy and underhanded and if you’re going to get away with it, you have to be a pro. I’ll give example as to how this is accomplished having had many pull this crap on me.

What to do…

  • Suck up to the boss but treat your supervisor like crap.
  • There is genuine happy and there’s the kind of happy that makes people leery of you… like you’re trying to sell something.
  • Be so sickeningly sweet for about a month and then turn a complete 180. That’s just begging for someone to drop a house on you.
  • Undermine your authority figures to their face.
  • Be manipulative, seedy and underhanded.
  • Be completely replaceable because you suck at your job.
  • Give your boss an ultimatum when you’ve accomplished the above six.
  • To these fine individuals I wish you luck in life because nothing will ever satisfy you as long as you’re trying to get rid of everyone who just might be better than you. Get a hobby, a haircut and while your at it some fashion sense.
