Do you despise your colleagues?

[Velvetee]

Does anyone else despise most of their work colleagues?

Does it raddle you, when the popular, but incredibly lazy ones are rewarded and favoured above those of us who are hardworking and conscientious?

Is there one particular workmate who you hold particular distain for and why?

[macbook]

I despise all my colegues. I really do. None of them have a degree. they just worked their way up through tools. They dont like to see me above them because I am a lot younger. They act like 18 year olds going out and getting drunk and cheating on there wives with prostitutes as well and joke about it in the office too. I however am quite lazy myself so......

[onlyme26]

you sound bitter towards them?

do you let them know you dont like them, that could be a big mistake!

see if they are all lazy but doing well and you are not doing well but are hardworking, maybe its your attitude, this isnt a dig at you, i totally know where you're coming from,

where i work, a possitive attitude and a pleasant attitude towards everyone works wonders!

even if you hate someone with a passion its best to just smile and get along! unfortunaly!!

i myself struggle, i cant stand 2 faced ppl, if i dont like someone i just try and stay clear,

but if it upsets you so much just try being the bigger person, see what happens

Nope. Work is a micro-cosom isn't it? Some you like, some you tolorate, some you dislike.

I work to live, to go home to my wife and kids and see my mates.

I don't care how i'm perceived and I am not nosey about how others live their lives.

I am afarid though if you work with a lot of people and despise them all it says more about you than them,

Well Onlyme, it isn't really a case of them doing well or better. I think it's a case of them feeling they don't have to do anything and having no conscience about their colleagues carrying them. Unfortunately, in the workplace you get further if you are popular. The popular ones tend to be those who are open books and will come in and talk about every aspect of their lives.

For instance, Myself and another colleague always try to do what is required of us. I work in a gym and part of the job is to clean the machinery, we are each allocated a section, which should be done on every shift we are on.

Well last week, I was on holiday, so one of my colleagues who is supposed to clean the same section as me, decided he was above this and did nothing. The GM came into the gym, saw how dirty this particular area was and was furious. What annoyed me was my line manager did not make the guy who was supposed tclean, do it, but made my work colleague who does work hard, do it instead.

I know it's not the fault of the individual, probably moreso to do with how management favours them, which does cause bitterness within the team. Unfortunately my new line manager wants to be a manager and everyone's friend too. I don't believe the two can go hand in hand.

[onlyme26]

i agree, its hard to be friends with your manager!!! especially of you disagree on things!

sounds like your colleagues take the p*ss

about being popular, that is true! but again, its prob different as i work in an office, but the better you get along with ppl and ( pretend) to be nice all the time, the better you are percieved and then more popular!!

what can i say, its a cruel world!!

I've always vowed that when I come back in the next life I'm going to be one of those fluffy, helpless types as they get away with murder in the workplace.

I loathe and detest my line manager as she is so two faced. I recently overheard her phone a colleague who had the day off work for IVF treatment. She was sweetness & light on the phone but as soon as the call ended she called my colleague every name under the sun and said "If the silly cow went for adoption she wouldn't have to have so much time off." How insensitive is that????

[roosi]

I hate my colleagues, well most of them - best thing to do is act like you don't then you get the last laugh, be all smiley and chatty and friendly then go away at night after swithcing off to everything (and one), and to your family and friends.

I try to think of them all as people who like me have chosen to work for the same company, nothing more than that, I don't go each day to be liked, and also don't go each day to like everyone, I make my choices, but put on a face with most folks, it's really tiring at times but by helll it works, and to be honest I never really discuss them at thome, as by that time I am cosied up in my partners arms discussing our lives not theirs! Sounds selfish I know, but I think in most situations you haev to be to get by, there are folk in the office who I know despise me, but they have to get along so they are nie to me - it's so funny, and so two faced, but this is the only way I cope - with females especially!!!

I have no problems whatsoever with the people I work with........ooops-thats wrong. Should read ' all the people I work with exceptmy job share collegue. I absolutely abhor the woman, and it is a good thing we do not actually work together! Whoever thought that having two women share a kitchen was a good idea should have their head examined. Haha-That person was the owner....and I hate HIM even more.

[Ice.Maiden]

I work with my husband, so if I want to tell him to go forth, I can do. : )

i know what you mean, i dont despise my work colleage, but One really irrates me, ive been ranting on about him on here for a while now.

ive been working with him for over a year... heres a few things that he does on a regular basis: (we get paid the same and by the hour)

1. turns up 30min late almost everyday
2. makes drinks about 5 times in the morning and 3 times in the afternoon.
3 spends most of his time on the internet
4. not doing his work properly, So im always correcting his mistake everyday.
5. talks gibberish. also talks about his life alot,

the boss is aware of this, but does sod all. he must be favourtism. or just feel sorry for him. hes been doing it over a yr now, hes 32 fgs!!

i feel like a mug. i doing twice the work load. i always say to myself.. Why am i still here??!! i deserve better than this cr@p.
ive handed in my notice ... so i think they know im getting really annoyed with it.
but they wil not make me stay (even if i get a rise), cos i willl not stay. i hate my job!

[Velvetee]

Whitebear I know how you feel and Mrs, the fluffy toy thing is so true. The bimbo airheads, both male and female are loved by my line manager. The fact they can all go drinking together and get bladdered, seems to appeal to him too.

I am always pleasant to all my colleagues and have never had any unpleasantries with any. I've complained about the main bimbo airhead, as she will spend her whole shift in the office, (supposed to mostly be on gym floor) on the phone to her friends. Mr. "I want to be everyone's friend" knows exactly what she does, but he never says or does anything, infact, I think he probably fancies her.

It's just difficult to feel motivated and maintain good morale when you know, nothing you every do will be recognised and I know if I sat in the office all day on my phone, I would soon be kicked into touch. What an unfair world we live in.

I can't stand those sickly sweet folk at work. The ones that laugh on que. The ones that kiss rump, and you can hear the painful falsness of the conversation.

Why do people feel the need to talk pointlessly to the boss, just say nothing if you have nothing to say.
