Workplace Ranting...


I know my last post was about pet peeves too, but I have bothered again this morning and well I figured this is my blog so I can write about what I want right? Ok so here is just some bullet points:
  1. I hate when co-workers come to work in a foul mood then take it out on everybody else. I have a motto, leave work at door when you leave, and leave home at the door when you come to work. I’m not saying you can’t talk to your family or whatever during the day, but don’t take your problems out on me. I chose to have a great day, I’m sorry you can’t do the same. It totally bugs me.
  2. When you have something that you all share and that person takes the MOST of it and then gets mad at you for drinking it. Ok so I’m probably not making sense. Let’s say someone gave your work group a present of a box of chocolates. No one really else eats the chocolates except for Jane. Jane eats most of the chocolates, then proceeds to get mad at you for eating them and hoards the rest for herself. Excuse me, but those were never yours, they were OURS. Once again, sharing is caring, so GET OVER IT!
  3.  Politics should not be discussed among people at work. Not a good idea… just results in annoyance. If you are going to talk about politics at least know BOTH sides. It’s not a complete argument unless you have studied both sides fairly. Just saying.
  4. Just because you hate your job doesn’t mean other people hate theirs. Sure does work suck sometimes? Uh yeah. It’s not called work because it’s roses and rainbows. Thank goodness we are all made different because we all like different things. Doesn’t mean that I didn’t wish I had this HUGE trust fund and I could just travel the world. Ok sorry off topic, but still we all like our jobs for some reason or another, just because it’s different doesn’t mean its bad or gratifying, even if it’s just staying at home with your kids.
  5. Learn to accept change; it happens to all of us. Just embrace it; it makes life a LOT easier.
  6. Be happy for others, if they are excelling in an area then tell them they are doing a great job. Talking behind their backs just proves that you are jealous. Boo to jealousy!
  7. Don’t criticize others for their choices, you have no idea how long they have agonized about making those choices.
  8. Learn to let things roll off your back (I need to learn this obviously look at the previous bullet points).
Ok that’s my rant for now. Sometimes I just don’t get people… I guess that’s because we are all different, thank goodness for that.
