She is a B.I.T.C.H.
I'm talking about LW. Never so pissed off with a staff before. That, even after I've quit for 3 weeks. Amazing.
1. She complained of having too much work. I considered that she needed WLB especially after just getting married. So I decided to allocate her less tasks, and took on more myself. Result was I stayed later in office, and went back to work on weekends. I didn't mind. But then she said she wasn't satisfied with that arrangement because she didn't "feel good" that I am working while she went home. What was I supposed to do? The work had to be done! Clone myself? In the end I resorted to bringing work home to do.
2. I genuinely wanted her to be happy. I tried to be a good supervisor. I took the effort to buy her a digital photo frame for her ROM, and then to remember her birthday and wished her and told her to take an off day. And I never stopped her from taking days off anytime she wanted. I left deadlines for her to decide on her own. When she did not wish to take up a tasking that came down from boss, I FRONTED it and came up with reasons to tell boss why she should not be tasked. These are little things. But what has she done in return for me, even such little things? When I told her to represent me at meetings, about 50% of the time she would have some other commitments or she would fall sick on the day itself.
3. She is emotionally unstable. She cried after I told her that her presentation was not good enough.
4. She can't take jokes. Her past colleagues said she had no sense of irony. Indeed. For instance, she couldn't take jokes about women drivers, or anything about the competence of women, even if it was clearly said tongue-in-cheek, by someone who was known to make fun of everything, including of himself.
5. I don't know how her husband tolerates her. Once, she was in office and called his CAMP. Yes, his SAF Camp, where all his men were probably laughing at this hen-pecked officer. How insensitive can she be? Not just that, she asked the guy on the other end whether there was any way of looking for him in camp, or knowing whether he was still in camp. Apparently he was supposed to meet her at 6 plus but she called his mobile phone for 2 hours but couldn't get him. When he finally returned the call, she was big-time upset and ranted at him - while she was still in her cubicle in office. So 3 of us who were still in office heard everything. Bloody insecure, insensitive bitch.
6. The differences we had, it was an implicit understanding on my part at least, that we keep to ourselves. She went out and ranted to the boss and all our colleagues in a session where I was absent. If she had issues with me, I had issues with her TOO. But I've always kept it to the 2 of us. That's being professional, since we work with the same group of people. If she wants to say bad things about me, fine, I will not hold back in telling people the truth about her too.
7. I set up many overseas trips, and always gave her the first refusal rights. She ended up travelling to the US last year, again this year, also to Kuwait, Qatar and Oman, all thanks to what I put in place for her. No one else at her level of seniority had such opportunities. I even forgo the chance to go for these trips MYSELF because I gave her the priority. She didn't realise all that, or she didn't think much of these. In fact, she stupidly posted lots of pictures of these trips as though they were vacations, announcing "who says work trips can't be fun", and telling the world how much fun she had during all these trips. Idiot. Moron. The more she announces how fun such trips are, the more pressure she would be under to deliver quality products. I'm not sure she is competent enough to do that.
8. When she disagrees with me on something, what does she do? She scribbles at a little corner of a ROUGH PAPER on my office table, in about the size of font 6 equivalent, to tell me what she thinks, expecting me to see it. Or she inserts 2 words, again of font 6, into an earlier email in a chain, to tell me she "don't agree". Am I supposed to see it? Am I supposed to check every corner of my rough papers and old emails for indications that she is unhappy? Crazy bitch.
9. After thanking her and apologising to her openly in my farewell email to the department, I now regret it.
LW, you are a stupid, crazy, incompetent bitch. Go fuck a crocodile.
