Because I'm pretty
sure I'm running a middle school. There
is some new kind of drama going on every week and if there isn't any new drama
then the old drama is being dug back up. Today I discovered that the
Drop cousins have been bickering back and forth and feel the need for
mediation. Apparently one of them has been saying "mean things about his
mom" to other co-workers...seriously, true story.
You know the sad part is we have never been
better business-wise, but the people within my business are driving me
insane! I'm so over this month and it's barely half over.
I battled with myself all day on whether or not
I should write this blog, but after today I can't let this build up inside of
me any longer. The day started out fine until I was wasting some time out on
the floor and stopped by a co-worker's office to say hello. I
almost immediately could tell something was wrong. At first I thought
it was a family issue, because she has been having a lot of those lately. I was
way off; it was all about another co-worker who just won't stop with the drama.
I'm starting to lose track of everyone I have nicknamed so I will just say the
person I stopped to say hello to is named Tigger and the drama queen is
Sin.
Sin is so full of drama that I have been advised by
the HR Manager to have a witness present during any conversations I have with
her. Tigger won't have a conversation with Sin without writing a statement
afterward. There is so much more I could say, but we're going to stop there for
now.
Tigger pulled out the statement she wrote about a
conversation her and Sin had earlier today. Sin came in her office to confide
in her about not being able to let go of the past. So actually I'm going to
stop there and explain what it is she can't let go.
Back in January she applied for a training position.
There were seven total applicants and we had a tough choice to make. Needless
to say we didn't choose her and she is claiming her direct manager and I
conspired against her to ensure she wouldn’t get the position. There is of
course more to the story, but I'm going to leave it at that.
She just absolutely refused to stop living in her own
fantasy world. She wants someone to be reprimanded and people fired.
She believes I hate her and as long as I'm in my position she will never get
any further than she already is. Keep in mind I just recently made her Tigger's
backup, but of course I only gave it to her to try to make up for not giving
her the trainer position.
She also believes that my boss stayed locked up in
his office last Thursday just to watch her aux usage. My boss wasn't even on
site last week. He was out helping another site that's falling apart. He did
call me to tell me she was sitting in ACW for 17 minutes, but he would have
done the same if anyone that was sitting in ACW for 17 minutes. The average
length someone should be in ACW is 1 minute.
So I find all of this out and get stressed out
because it's all happening again. The month of January to
the beginning of February was absolute hell and I don't want to go
through this crap again.
I really wish I could just talk open and honest with
her, but I can't. She would probably sue us for emotionally scaring her, but
this is what I would say:
"If you feel so angry, ripped off, used, and stepped on here,
then just quit. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but there
is absolutely nothing I can do to make you feel any differently. I
won't be firing anyone and I'm certainly not going to be fired. So either get
over it or quit those are your options, it's as simple as that. You're
nothing, but a cancer to my employees and I honestly don't want you here
anymore. End of story."
