I had a nurse manager once who loudly shushed us, multiple times, every single day she was on site. At the nurses station, which was small, but like even if all of us are whispering it’s going to be audible. Her shushing loudly only contributed to both the noise level, and me quitting that job. She was even shushing doctors when they were conferring with one another and us nurses, like girl go back to your office. Kim, you were the worst.

Im fixing this guys printer or whatever on the far side of the workshop and notice that the only decoration he has at his desk is a pair of ‘8’ magnets pushed together on his filing cabinet. Thats the whole story because i fixed that printer and got out of there fast, lol

I get on well with a big cross-section of people, part of my job is to smooth over the gaps between clashing personalities (IRL, online I’m an argumentative bitch)

Anywho, there was one guy who I just couldn’t work with - he blamed anyone but himself for his mistakes, and he kept on repeating them. He was also intensely lazy, and called off during covid for a total of about 6 weeks. Then, every time someone tried to help him improve, he’d file a complaint of harassment against them - at separate times against me, my boss, and every single other person he worked with.

He raised a complaint with our union (which I’m still a member of, since I’m just a supervisor) saying there was systemic harassment. It took over a year to fire him.

The moment he went, productivity went up, and has stayed up :-)

Honestly? My current boss. He’s exemplary of everything wrong with the industry, and I’m concerned because he’s in good with the current C-Suite, and I’m definitely more loyal to the old guard.

Late in my first year of grad school, I was tasked with showing a possible applicant around the college. One of my friends at school heard he was applying. She knew him from undergrad and told me he was a nightmare but didn’t go into specifics. Since I worked directly with the head of my department, she pleaded with me to tell them to reject this guy from the school. Even before she told me about him, I could tell from my brief interaction with him that he was prick, but I didn’t feel comfortable going along with that. His application got approved.

Cut to a year later, me and her are having to file detailed harassment complaints against this guy because he was indeed a nightmare. The school put him on probation. He kept causing all sorts of problems for me, her, and other students. I really wish I had listened to her.

Kathy. She used to work front desk at our computer/phone/tablet repair shop.

Sometimes our customers would buy a new phone and wanted their SIM card transferred over. Sometimes the new phone took a smaller size SIM card than their old one. No big deal, we had special cutout punch tools just for that. Should be simple enough right?

You just put the SIM card into either one or the other tool, depending on what size the card originally is and what size it needs to be cut to, press down on the handle, and out of the bottom pops out the cut card. The card only fits properly one way into the preformed tray divet for it, super simple to use, so what could possibly go wrong?

Well that dumb bitch couldn’t even comprehend the simplest concept of matching up the shapes, on many occasions she’d some fucking how end up cutting the card upside down or backwards, or both, thereby ruining the customer’s SIM card ☹️

And even when she managed to get it right, well unfortunately those punchout tools tended to leave light burrs on the edges, which could and indeed would damage the contacts inside the SIM slot and basically ruin the phone. Kathy was as dumb as a box of rocks and when she wasn’t playing on her own phone, she’d be filing her fingernails. Kathy, if you can hear me telepathically, USE YOUR FUCKING NAIL FILE TO KNOCK THE BURRS OFF THE EDGES!!!

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Anyone in Silicon Valley, but especially Sam Altman, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and anyone who has anything to do with Apple.

Looooong ago we did interviews for an open position we had. With one applicant, at first sight i thought “no, not him. never ever him”. Later learned the others felt exactly the same at the very same moment. Never found out why but it was strong and clear feeling.
