My coworker, who I have to sit next to all day long everyday, can be very annoying.
For one thing, she doesn’t want to be here. She hates this job and makes no secret of it. Even our supervisor, the head of HR knows she has been looking for another job for over a year.
She tells interns, new hires, current employees and even applicants–anyone who will listen–what a “horrible” company this is.
She makes snarky comments all day long like, “what do these people get out of interning here?” even though it’s actually a really good company and would be a great opportunity for any marketing student.
All she does all day long is complain and fill out applications for other jobs online.
In spite of all this, she still wanted to be flown across the country and put up in a hotel to represent the company at a convention in Las Vegas and was FURIOUS when she was not awarded the opportunity to go. She feels like the company owes her something.
Just today, she complained to IT that her computer was slow. So they brought her a new one. My computer is slow too, but they don’t have any more…so they gave the only one they had to her. But she is still not happy, because, “the screen is so small, and my vision is not the greatest…” and she’s really mad because the IT guy wouldn’t illegally connect her NEW laptop to her gmail account (it is blocked due to company policy,) like another IT guy did for her with her old laptop.
She refuses to do any bit of extra work around the office, so any time extra work is needed, our supervisors know to have ME do it, not her. But then when there’s an opportunity for overtime, it is OFFERED to her as a courtesy, since extra money is involved.
She also eats hard boiled eggs every morning–about 3 of them. Which stink. That’s annoying but any time someone walks by and mentioned the smell, she’s in denila that it’s coming from her eggs.
And to top it off, she views me as her competitor so she takes any opportunity to make slightly bitchy comments when others are around to assert dominance and show off.
Any coping strategies? I want to keep the peace…

Colleagues farewell tonight (of a man I dont particularly like but, do admire in SOME ways – mostly he’s just a pretencious jerk).
Anyway, I organised the event and its close by to work – just a few casual drinks.
Is it bad if I don’t go? being the organiser and all? I REALLY dont want to. I know I should and should just be grown up for contacts and networking etc. but i just realllly loathe this guy. really dont want to waste my night drinking with colleagues. im so sick of it all!! im 25 by the way the guy leaving is about 55 and we are all part of a niche team re vessels and maritime. im so confused as to what to do!!

I was friends with the kid about three years ago and I haven’t talked to him in forever. This guy is not somebody that I want affiliated with me or my life. I go to my girlfriends page and I see recently added friends and he pops up. he does not know her he has never met her in his life and I haven’t talked to them into an half years what’s the purpose or meaning of him doing that

I moved to a new school about 8 months ago and everything’s been going fairly well. I’ve found my niche but all of a sudden this guy has been indirectly coming on to me. (This has been going on since December.) He is continuously flirting with me in an awkwardly cute way. It’s weird because he goes out of his way to make me notice him in class but won’t actually talk to me (except twice). BUT, he has an on again/off again girlfriend and I am 100% not interested in getting involved in that.
The question is, do you think he’s just trying to mess with me/make a fool out of me? I’m not a social pariah, but I’m definitely not in the “popular group” like himself. Everyone in my town knows/loves him.
I am *NOT* going to pursue him since he has a girlfriend, but if they break up and he continues flirting with me like he is, what should I do?
He acts really awkward/bashful when he’s near me, but around his friends, he acts very arrogant and sure of himself. Do you think he’s just trying to mess with me?
We’re both high school juniors.

I am a twenty year old girl and truly understand now why people say “Enjoy being a kid.” The older you get you realize how truly selfish, envious, and cruel people can be. Dealing with an emotionally abusive ex showed me how people have absolutely no sympathy, find you annoying, and then ditch you to be friends with that guy.
Growing up truly sucks – and during the last two years I have been trying to find myself again. I thought I’d have a great support team of friends who’d distract me. People have this mentality “Sucks for you, Glad it’s not me.” If I didn’t see it, I don’t believe it, your overdramatic.” Over this time I’ve lost SO many friends. I am glad I got rid of the “fake” friends .. but its truly left me with noone. I used to be a very pretty popular girl – and after these experiences it’s made me insecure.
I’ve tried to stay a good person – I don’t just stay friends with someone after they hurt me because I am afraid of being alone. I don’t just drink or hook up with guys to feel “accepted” and not lonely. I thought the worst of this was high school – but even in early twenties people are just so cruel.
I feel somewhat trapped between my past, present, and future. I so desperately want to fix this – but you can’t force friendship nor relationship. I try to meet new people and stay away from people in my past – but everyone still knows everyone. I feel so lonely because I just don’t have my own niche. I don’t have people that I know are 100% there for me – and I look around and it seems everyone has their own security of good friends and relationships.
I know I am only twenty but I feel so bombarded and stressed. I don’t want to feel so sad all the time. I am so tired of people telling me to “get over it.” – when in reality I don’t see any helping hands of goodness. I never realized how early adulthood is truly so hard 🙁 I can’t help but feel I will always be sad and never return to that confident person I was.
Any advice?
