Office Workers: Am I alone?
Are there things that your fellow workers do regularly that really grate you?
Or am I having a particularly sensitive day today?  Resting from injury may just be shorting my fuse.........

Some of my colleagues are still breathing, which really annoys me.
The most annoying thing is the constant phone calls from a couple of folk to ask permission to do their job.

How about this. One day last week while daydreaming out the window as usual, I spotted the wheel clampers about to clamp a worker's car from another department. My reaction was to stop it at once, and find the number of the person so I could tell them. Anyway my colleagues were watching the scene and really enjoying it. They didn't half give me a hard time for stopping it.
That office has a bad culture, glad I'm out

It is more money and nicer peeps. I work in a big public organisation so I already know many people. Job satisfaction means a lot to me and I'm just not getting it here I need to be challenged ( an ultra marathon is outta the question tho  this job is a brand new project so hopefully should be good.
It is bad karma. One of the girls lost her hubby to cancer less than 6 months ago and the way they have treated her is disgusting, they have given her no compassion and made her feel so isolated.

Indeedy... I'm a karma believer too... good things will happen to good people, though it certainly makes you wonder when it feels like the people getting it easiest in life are usually those commiting crime or living off the rest of us.
