There is one gal in my office who has been here perhaps 18 months. Eastern European immigrant. Only a few years in our industry.
This is probably petty stuff, but it’s driving me bats.
Multiple times a day she pulls documents off the printer, pulls her stuff out, and puts everything else back on the printer with pages everywhich way. Some are facing up, some are facing down. Stuff out of order. I’ve caught her red-handed many times over many months. I’ve politely asked her to please make sure everything is facing the same way and in order. She doesn’t give a flying fig. I spend a lot of time putting things to rights when I’ve taken stuff off the printer.
A lot of time shipping documents have to be in the order they were printed out in, otherwise matching them up is difficult. There have been times when I’ve just pitched the lot and reprinted. Takes a lot less time.
Today it was especially bad and I marched into manager’s office. I told her I’d repeatedly nicely asked gal to please make sure everything was in order and she’s still doing it. I’m wasting time. She said she would take care of it. We’ll see.
Often when we pull stuff off the printer we will pass it out to the few other people who use that printer. All in small area. The same gal will pull a stack off the printer, take her one page, and dump the rest in my in box. She’s a lazy witch. The stacks she drops in my in box? Some of it is hers, some other people, one thing on top mine. I’ve told her repeatedly to stop giving me other people’s stuff, but again, she doesn’t care. People will ask me why their docs ended up in my in box. I’ll tell them so and so can’t be bothered to go through the stack. I’ve told her my in box is not her dumping ground.
I now refuse to take anything of this gal’s to her desk. It gets put on the table next to the copier.
She’s sort a golden girl. We’re supposed to take turns with one off shipments and rate quotes. Too often lately she’ll pull the “I’m too busy, can’t do it” thing, yet if the other girl and I tried that, we’d get a talking to. She uses her young son as an excuse to rush out of the office early whenever possible. Whines she has too little vacation time and complains I should give her some of mine (I get nearly a month as a result of being there 12 years and barely took half, if that, this year).
She can’t seem to do anything herself when it comes to customs issues. Refuses to do hardly anything herself. Nearly threw a fit today when I told her to call customs when an airline couldn’t see the customs clearance. It was done correctly but something was weird on the airline’s end. I gave her the number for customs and told her what to ask. If I wasn’t there, she’d have to do it herself.
Supervisor was out sick today. If she’s back tomorrow, I’m pulling her aside and unloading this on her. This crap is ridiculous.
