Irritating Office Behavior

Sprunkn7

One of the Docs who I really like can be flat out rude. yesterday I was with a patient scheduling a test. While I was writing the order out she came over my shoulder and said "this needs to be called in" and plopped an open chart (of a different patient) on top of my paper and my hands while I was writing!!! The person I was helping looked at me and said "Really, did she not see me sitting here!" lol
She is well known for talking to us when we are in a conversation with each other, on the phone with patients, other docs, doing precerts, talking with a patient that isn't hers or whatever... she doesn't care.
It's rude!

We have a real piece of work in our office. She has complained about every single one of us at different times to head office. We now have human resources coming out to talk to us about bullying as she complained that someone sat at her desk. We rotate desks every week & in fact she was at the wrong one. I've never worked with someone who has tried to cause so much trouble. She's really a giant pain in the ass.

I've read through a few pages of this and most of the comments seem to come from US posters. As someone in the UK, I can confirm that pretty much all this shit happens over here too!

I got an invite to a training for next Tuesday from the big boss, the training starts at 9am...I don't get to work until 10:30, so I emailed him and told him this and asked if I needed to be here at 9am because it would be difficult for me to get here because of the special needs child I have at home...he couldn't bother to reply to me...I was so aggravated by this...because ehe was at his desk available, and he replied to other emails, but not mine...I eventually asked my boss about it, and I do have to be here for it, but it's like seriously why couldn't they have taken everyone's schedule into consideration when they scheduled it, it's only for 5 of us and if they had put it at 11am, everyone going would still have been able to go and no have to be here early or late...

So I sent an email to both big bosses and CCed my boss and said that this is going to be very difficult for me to come in before 10am for anything because of the fact that I no have a special needs child at home that I have to get ready for school. My boss already knew about this, but I wanted him to be aware of what I sent to the big guys...I still never heard anything back, except from my boss...

Luckily I have someone to help me on that day, but I won't always have someone to help me because my friend is only going to be with us temporarily...for a few months probably but not much more...

I have been trying to deal with the micromanagey quirks of my boss to hopefully get her to back the fuck off..."predict what they will want and take the initiative and complete tasks before being asked " okey-dokey, currently I am doing QuickBooks and entering her credit card charges for last year, her credit card receipts are all jumbled up and stuffed into one envelope while her old assistant's receipts are separated into envelopes filed by month. I'm done entering the charges, but it took so long for me to look through her receipts it was a huge waste of time. Her assistants receipts were so easy to go through.

So all of her 2015 receipts are crumpled up in a basket. I took the initiative and made an envelope for each month, and separated all her receipts. This made her flip out and I am to not touch any receipts for 2015.

How are you supposed to deal with a psychotic crazy boss? Huh? Where is the article on that?

My cube is next to one of the main meeting rooms. As if the traffic isnt bad enough, but it is incredibly disruptive when some douche leavs the meeting early and doesnt have the dcency to close the door behind him, so now i have to try to talk on the phone with 15 yahoos laughing 5 feet away.

You took initiative? I was had a difficult boss once and when I was new, a coworker told me that the boss didn't like us/want us to take initiative. I had never heard of that before.

I sit in a cube farm... We aren't organized so that my entire branch sits together, there is a lot of overlap. One of the branches decided that today would be their branch thanksgiving lunch... It smells so good, but I am not invited...

hedonist

Frankie, I can relate. Our accounting department (located all together but the rest of us regularly walk through their area) does the occasional potluck thing with their native foods...we're talking Korean, Filipino, Chinese, Portugese. Scents outta this world.

Not ONCE been offered even a fucking empenada.

HughFreakingDillon

weird. our cube farms are mixed departments. everyone is included in our pot lucks and treat days. the only thing we keep seperate is our departmental celebrations, which we do either out or in the privacy of a meeting room, and it's only once a year, if that.

Now my boss said "actually it was good you separated the receipts, it will save time when we have to go through them later"

but I am required to ask her if I can start a project on my own. Fuck that, I will no longer take initiative when completing tasks for her. I won't go the extra mile, I'll just do only what she asks, no more.
