Sometimes I make posters-
This is usually what’s going through my head whenever my coworker says (for the 15th time) that he’s putting in hours outside of work to get stuff done.
He has to put extra hours in because he’s too busy watching videos during work hours.
And guess who’s not working again today.
That’s right…the new guy. W.t.f.
Apparently he lacks the ability to take a break and then get back to work. I’ll show him how it’s done.
*closes Tumblr tab*
*gets frickin’ work done*
And I have a sneaking suspicion the new guy has just been watching videos all day.
So frustrating.
If your designer knows how to troubleshoot better than your developer, you’re gonna have a bad time….
But, joking aside, the fact that I know that bugs me. I shouldn’t know what anyone’s views are at work. My great grandma used to tell me “doesn’t matter what other people do, doesn’t mean you can do it too” and it wasn’t cause she doubted my skills or thought I was wrong. It was a warning based on who I am. A girl. An ethnic girl. A multi-racial girl in a male dominated industry. And in an office of all Caucasian men I’m starting to see just what my great grandma meant when she told me that.
I can’t say my views at work. I can’t even properly show that I’m angry without starting to panic on the inside. If I came into work today shouting my approval of last night’s election the same way this guy is grumbling his disappointment, what would happen?
They would probably think the same about me as I do about them. Cause now not only do I think this coworker’s work ethic is suspect and personally find him annoying (as hell), I now think he’s a fucking idiot.
And I don’t know what to do about that.
Who else is thinking about this/having this problem?
Take a shot whenever the new guy asks the boss an obviously Google-able question.
It’s 9am. If I was playing this I’d be passed out under my desk.
My face when I check the caller ID and see it’s a difficult client calling in. Probably needing help printing from their ipad while in a plane or similar bull.
