Jerks At Work

[Remy]

Seriously, I'm sick of it. Sometimes people treat me like I'm stupid. Yesterday I get to work. The lap top won't work unless it's plugged in. I'm like no way, I can't function like this. I need the lap top to move with me. I ask the office manager (most other office staff is not there yet) if she knows of an extra lap top after I trolled for and couldn't find one.

She tells me I can use this one because there are "a million plugs down the hall." That was f-ing it!!!!! I told her not to talk to me like that and to not push back at me when I state there's a problem. There were not "a million" plugs. There was the one up front and one at the end of the (long) hall I told her. She literally went to look and realized I was right. She found me a computer.

Sick of these cigarette smoking clique a-holes.

Some managers think they are entitled to unleash their inner a-holes on subordinate staff.
Hope you can leave that all behind and retire sometime soon.

What you just described is why I am so glad to be retired and out of Corporate America. I couldn't stand the young "know-it-alls" who patronized me when I could run rings around them in experience. Hang in there!

Good for you for standing up to her.

Retirement is wonderful !

I am so thankful I was able to retire at age 61-1/2. Not real early but not late either.

I realize that not all folks can retire - for those folks I am sorry that they have to endure stuff like what Remy described.

Unfortunately there is one of that type of person in
most offices.

It pays to stand up for yourself against them, well done.

Mike.

Guess which one has the 99 IQ..........

I retired happily at 53.5 years. I have enjoyed over 22 years of happy traveling and doing what I want to do. I would never go back to work and "suck it up" to some boss with tatoos, purple hair and playing rap music in the office. Oh no, I am traveling right now in Alaska and living my dreams and living my life. Good bye cruel world. I'm not off to join the circus but I'm sure gonna see Chicken and Homer, Alaska.

Jerks are stupid people that act like idiots because that makes them feel more in charge.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I'm now 62 but don't feel I can retire yet. I get no sympathy from my stepfather who retired from a local government job at 55 with a partial disability due to his hearing loss and a nice pension.

I'm tired! This woman is probably not significantly younger than I am but she can be bitchy and cliquey. There are people who won't even say hi to me. Some people are very nice. I'm tired of them and everything.

Same here. Some won't say hello or even acknowledge being spoken to. Some are just mean. Some are cliquey. Some treat us older people like we're too slow and stupid to be there doing our jobs. However, we do better quality work and we show up.
