got called a fat a$$ today!

MrsJohnnaJohnson · November 2010

I was at work today and the 18 year old girl that started working there tried going off on me for something she knew nothing about! I kindly told her that she was NOT going to speak to me that way! I mean, I AM 10 years her senior for crying out loud. She called me a fat a$$ in front of another co-worker. I said nothing, I got up and left the room. I was in shock! Not only am I not fat, but pregnant, I am SUPER emotional!!! I had to go to the bathroom and cry. it really hurt my feelings. I know I'm pregnant, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who does feel huge, so it was an extra hard blow for someone to say something like that to me! Long story short, she was fired, Which I ended up actually feeling a little bad about. She could have been having a really bad day. I wish it wouldn;t have went that far, but she does need ot get her attitude in check and realize she can;t just speak to another human being like that.

Name calling in the workplace? She deserved to be fired, don't feel bad about it.

You handled it a lot better than I would have! I am so sorry you had to go through that!

Even if she was having a bad day that gives her no right to call anyone that. Preggy or not. Im sorry she had to learn her lesson the hard way but honestly if you are working you need to have a professional attitude no matter what.

Hugs!

Don't feel bad that she was fired, even if she was having a bad day that was a terrible thing to say!

Sorry you had to take the brunt of somebody's bad attitude, that would have made me cry too!

Wow! There is something clearly wrong with that gal's concept of what is right and wrong. Pregnant or not, it is never okay to treat someone like that. Don't feel bad about her losing her job; she needed to be sent a clear message about what is okay.

Yeah, that is way wrong! I can not believe someone would do that.

The other day my 5 year old told me that someone in his class said that I was really really fat. My 5 year old told him that no, I was not fat, just pregnant. His feelings were hurt over it and were afraid mine would be too. I happened to be not so emotional that day and told him that he did the right thing and no my feelings were not hurt.

So there ya go, an 18 year old behaving EXACTLY like a 5 year old. It is her problem for sure!

She deserved it. Name calling in general is crappy-especially fat, and even more wrong when your pregnant. I made the mistake of telling my mother that the dr. told me I am borderline on my weight gain. Pretty much since then, my mother has been calling me a fatty. Okay...it wasn't funny the first time....it's not going to be funny for the rest of the week...it's actually not funny at all and for a few days it put me in a funk

*hugs* to you Smile

I got called that in the beginning of my pregnancy and I cried for over an hour. It does suck and really hurts but you know - I don't care. I'm happy and pregnant. I've honestly never felt more adorable in my entire life! )

Don't feel bad for her getting fired. She deserved it. She needs to keep things professional in the work place.

Don't feel bad! Calling someone names on the job not acceptable, ESPECIALLY on your first day there. You taught her a lesson and hopefully she'll learn from it and not do it again. I once had one of my employees go off on me (didn't call me names or anything) and I calmly explained to her that if she EVER did that again, she would be unemployed. Period. Being upset and talking it over with me is one thing, but flying at me and berating me is unacceptable.

Thank God for witnesses. That wasn't appropriate for work so she got what she deserved. Sorry she hurt your feelings!! That was unoriginal of her and just plain rude

PrudhommesGirl · November 2010

She's an idiot. Don't feel bad.

Don't feel bad for her getting fired.

I can't imagine the bad day I'd have to be having to call someone names. So SO immature.

This is for human resources. It doesn't matter how much older you are of your level of seniority this is NO way for a co-worker to speak to another. She should be fired!!!
