?that? co-worker

NatnDyl

I supervise 4 people at work. 3 of them have been here 18 months+ and need minimal supervision.  They have their quirks but no one?s perfect. But the 4^th is a new hire and I?m about at my wit?s end. She made an awful first impression on all of us, and I had no hand in hiring her. She rolls her eyes when you talk to her, jumps into conversations that above her head work wise, and just behaves like a know-it-all.

 

Separately, the other 3 have come into my office to complain about new girl. Outwardly, I tell them to try and be patient, she is still new, but inwardly, I am beyond frustrated. On Friday, we were all helping her stuff envelopes so she could meet a deadline and she told us we stuffed envelopes wrong. She came into my office to ask how she was doing so far and when I complimented her on something she does well, she said, ?well I wasn?t fishing for that, but thanks anyway.?

 

Today she made a mistake and when I asked her about it she continued to insist that it wasn?t her fault. Then she decided all on her own that she had too much work to do, so she pawned some of it off on someone in another department.

 

She?s been here a month and I?m so done. Lets commiserate, tell me about ?that? co-worker at your job.

How long is her probationary period? Sounds like she's not the right fit. Like at all. Ugh.

My co-worker is a bi-polar B*****.  Not sure if she is coming or going, she thinks that the sun rises and set on her. My boss knows what kind of person she is and everytime someone complains about her we are told by our boss th

My co-irker: Dressed too provacatively, to the point where they had to give us a dress code. We now have department issued shirts (ugly as sin), tucked in, and can only wear pants, and closed toed shoes. She got a note from the docto

Have you laid out all of the issues with her? Like completely told her that her attitude seems arrogant and that you are questioning whether she's the right fit or not?

It is your responsibility as her supervisor to show some transparency wit

My co-irker is OCD about cleaning.  It wouldn't be bad but the windex fumes really knock me out.  She windexes the whole office on a daily basis.  At one point she flipped over her chair mat and went at it with windex and a wire brush.&nbsp

I stepped up to help a co-worker a few weeks ago, and now I really regret it. We have a big project that needs to be completed in 2 wks, and he just backed out on me...because he is overwhelmed with other things. Now iam left to finish all 432 pages of th

For my post above:  Sorry, if I upset anyone, but maybe she should be tested it is a daily High and Low with her! You never know if she is going to be happy or not be so nice.

OP make sure you paper her file and when she asks how she's doing, don't just compliment her without giving her due criticism. You'll never be able to fire her.

My co-worker smells. Sometimes like a barnyard which I guess was caused by throwing her dirty clothes on her dirty floor in her dirty home and allowing her dirty animals to lay on them; then putting them on the next week.

Sometimes it's just plai
