Stupid Co Workers

Yes these people fit the profile of your standard state employee with the following phrases leaving their lips:

*if I don’t know what it is I don’t sign it.

                -you’re thinking I’m a bitch, but here is my response, READ IT THEN! Someone was passing around something that needed signatures for them to RUN FOR A POSITION on a board; all they needed was like 30 signatures to get them in the running. It wasn't to vote for them it was just to say you acknowledge their candidacy… The HR lady came around and ANNOUNCED it saying “she just needs some signatures acknowledging that she works here and is eligible to run, I can tell you that she’s over in XYZ dept and as everyone who is on the board currently, highly overqualified...” and yet, DUMBASSES.

*I know what you’re saying but I want –manager- to say that as well.

                - again, this sounds perfectly logical, except that this was in a response to an email that was SENT BY THE MANAGER to me that I forwarded to the group. Did ANY of the minions get up to go ask the manager or even hit reply to send her something? NOPE! But I got four responses saying the SAME THING… I had to go tell the manager what a bunch of dumbasses there are and she had to resend out the email to which SHE got a response from head dipshit of “can we maybe talk about this at the meeting for more clarification” are you KINDING me!?!?! It’s about a form, telling people to fill out a form instead of just emailing in a request…. *banging head against the wall*

*Oh no thanks, I’ve had enough to eat and I’m on a diet.

                -AGAIN, all in the context. She was being offered cucumbers AS SHE WAS REACHING FOR PIZZA… so I know I’m not the diet guru, but last I checked Cucumbers are a hell of a lot healthier than PIZZA especially when you say you’re DONE eating….

AND these examples are just from the last four hours of being at work. I’m taking my break to type this out cause I need somewhere to vent and can’t hold it in until I get off work to call a friend.

Good GOD!

I should make it clear that not EVERY employee here is a dumbass, I’d especially like to think that I’m not “one of them”, but there are a few people here with some basic common sense. One of the guys in the department actually pointed out to Ditzy (when she wouldn’t sign the form) that “you’re not voting for her, nothing could happen to you positive OR negative if you sign” she still said no and he shrugged his shoulders and walked away….

On the one about the form, I had Schizo (these are the nicknames given to them) tell me that I called her stupid when she was relaying a call and I said to have them fill out the form, at some point I said, “well that’s just stupid” and she thought I was talking about HER. While I could have, since in that moment she was being incredibly STUPID, I had to reassure her that no, I mean the caller who can write all this out on a piece of paper but can’t fill out the form…

WHATEVER

I don’t get paid enough to put up with this stupidity. I’m demanding a damn raise at my review. Not for my job but for my patience with the dumbasses that make up 70% of my department….
