I'm having difficulites at work. A co-worker up here is so utterly rude, obnoxious, egotistical, and well, simply behaves like a beast. This person can be heard reaming people on the phone thru out the office, yet no one does anything. This person said "it's not like I told you to shut up" to a citizen at a neighborhood meeting. This person has called citizens back and told them to apologize because he/she felt the message ws rude. This person and I have the same position yet he/she forwards Use Permit calls because "processing those cases is a waste of a degree" as are variance cases. This person also told me my future last name was "retarded" and having a child was like not taking a sh*t for 9 months. Yes, this person is a beast.
But, more than that, I hate coming to work because I have to hear this person. The negativity coming from that office brings everyone in the office down. I don't understand it, everyone knows, yet the only answer is "that's just [name]". I'm tired, and honestly, as my age, I shouldn't be tired. I know it pays the bills, but I'm emotionally drained. The really good days at work are when this person isn't there. I just don't know if I'm fooling myself into thinking a different place would be better, or if every office has their own beast.
ack: edit: I'm not pregnant, this was said to a good friend of mine who was pregnant at the time. However the statement has been reiterated and I would prefer to think an amazing thing, such as creating life, is not so much like a lump of poo.
