    On the FAQ page it asks how much the positions that he places people in pay. He says that while he MIGHT post some that are lower if the company is awesome, most of his SWEET HOOK UP JOBS will pay AT LEAST 30k. WHOA! 30K THANK GOD I USED WILL REED lol this guy is LITERALLY placing people in entry level jobs that anyone can get for themselves and then taking a fee. Genius

    Went to a minor league baseball game for a work outing, got extreme sunburn. It hurt.

    Next like three days at work, people kept coming over to my desk just like awkwardly commenting on it.

    "Oh my god ___ said to come see how red you got, does that hurt?"

    "....just wanted to see how sunburned you were"

    "Don't you have sunscreen?"

    Best part is I work in a cube, and there's like 3 other people in my "row" so the other 15-20 people in my department I never talk to, unless it's about a sunburn I guess.

    FFFUUUU. I missed it because I hate going to stupid "safety" meetings but apparently She-Asshat just had to make some type of comment or one liner every time the presenter said something and just laughed at herself while everyone just shook their heads. My coworker said she asked 2 completely retarded questions and just made random outbursts the whole time just to say something. Gotta go to next months for sure

    Never had much to contribute to this thread but I'm sure I'll have quite a bit from now on. We just did a major restructuring of our overall department which resulted in me getting a nice promotion. As a result my former team of 15 people has was consolidated with two other teams and I have an overall department of around 40 people. My former team is a pretty tight knit group that gets along great together, will pitch in to help each other, will without question stay late if something comes up, etc. The other two teams have a large representation of useless idiots.

    One of the results of the consolidation was that most people had to move to new cubicles/offices. Over the past few days the amount of things other than actual work that we've had to deal with have been:
    • protests from several people who have cubicles farther from a window than they did before
    • big drama because I always bring coffee back from my trips to Costa Rica and therefore the break room nearest my office has better coffee than the one on the other side of the floor which is "so unfair"
    • a toaster disappearing from one break room to the other because a guy claims he uses it the most so if he has to move then the toaster does too
    • cubicles in one area face east-west, where on the other side of the floor they face north-south, so one lady claims there's too much light due to the orientation of the overhead florescent lights over her new cubicle
    • two ladies claiming ownership of the same plant
    but the best by far is that we had a guy have his 25th anniversary with the company yesterday, so his boss brought in a cake with "Congrats on 25 Years" and we had a quick department get together for everyone to eat said cake, give him a plaque etc. Yesterday afternoon a lady comes to my office to complain that when she had her 25th anniversary she didn't get a cake and her plaque was smaller, so she wants her own cake to retroactively celebrate her anniversary from 3.5 years ago. She left my office with hurt feelings.

    The guy who took my job 4 years ago still has to call me back to my old building on a regular basis because he's incapable of doing the work. I had to sit through a meeting where he used the word "berating" rather than "barraging" on three different occasions. As in, he was taking to a high ranking rep from another company saying, "I'm glad we could meet face to face so I could stop berating you with a bunch of e-mails." I've known this guy from the other company for 10 years so we're pretty good friends. He finally lost it the third time. Luckily my coworker is too stupid to know why everyone was laughing at him.

    This happens to me all the damn time. I transferred to another dept within our organization (entirely different building). My former boss calls me at least once a month to ask me how to do various things from my old job (I've been in my current position for a year :facepalm:). I got a call from her a couple weeks ago asking me about a project I did when I first started my former job...that was 3+ years ago. :blowup:

    I have a guy who pisses me off regularly.

    He is one of those who sends me an email chain with 10 replies and says "can you take care of this?" And when I ask him to give me some detail, he responds with "it's all in the email" which is at 7 or 8 pages.

    And that's fine. But when I send him an email with all the details in the chain, he bitches about how he doesn't have time to go through it. Makes me rage.

    I just walked a 55 year old man through how to take a screen shot and save it. He then proceeds to open Microsoft word and I said no you can just open outlook...click new email. He said Levar I know how to send an email.

    I said "wow that was condescending on my part I'm sorry but I honestly didn't realize that" [honestly didn't mean to be insulting to him]

    My thought process was hey I've just walked you thru 6 steps and saw you open Word for some weird reason so let me continue to walk you thru the last 3 steps.

    Same guy had duel monitors on his desk a couple months back and when he moved the mouse off the right side of the right screen it would show up on the left side of the left monitor.

    I told him it was easy to fix that and he said "Well I'm use to it now." I didn't try to help him at that point.

    In when what world can you get used to that???

    My junior associate has started the very annoying habit of CCing agency leadership in emails on every little thing he does, in an effort to cull favor with upper management. For instance, I'll arrange for a customer to attend one of our surgical training labs in Chicago or NY, get him to agree to the trip, and register his spot with the meeting planners. Then I'll ask my junior rep....let's call him Alan...to remind the customer to complete his or her online registration the next time I have him cover one of their cases.

    The next morning I, along with our agency sales manager, and someone like the regional VP of sales will be CCd to a glory-seeking email, that reads something like: "Hi, all! Just wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Smith* is officially IN for the Chicago lab!" as if he's played some integral part in making this happen. The first time it was kind of cute, even though his ulterior motives were painfully transparent. Now it's just annoying.

    About ten minutes later, I'll get an email from the VP of sales, asking me who the hell Alan is. I just sort of chuckle, and respond, "That's my junior rep. He won't be attending with us."

    The kid does something like this this a lot right after he screws up big time, and he thinks he's going yo get canned, which seems to happen about every two months. if I didn't like him so much as a person, I would have let him go 18 months ago when I was in a better position to replace him. Alan and his emails.

    No not his name. This kid once told me that he couldn't work one day because he got a real bad nose bleed playing flag football. I told him to send me a picture of his nose, so he did, with a big ass wad of tissue stuck up there. That, combined with his pie-faced mug was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen, so I made it his damn contact pic in my phone. Now, whenever he calls, that headshot pops up and reminds me why he drives me nuts. Kid started working me for a raise after 3 months on the job. He thought he was going to get hired and have his own accounts after 90 days in, so I gave him a bullshit product out of our bag to sell, and gave him an account that I had no intention of calling on or managing. He placed like 3 phone calls, trying to get a lunch appointment, never got a call back, and gave up. Half of me hoped he would quit after that. Taught me a good lesson, though....always bring your own people on and keep management out of it, if you can.

    I've worked in several office environments, but my current office is the first place I've worked where there are constantly older (50+) dudes hanging out in the bathroom all the fucking time brushing their teeth. I mean, congrats on your good oral hygiene, but do you really need to brush your teeth three times per day while at work? I prefer to take my shits in peace, but that is extremely rare now because these motherfuckers are always in there.
