I work with a person who can not stand her boss. I mean she really detest her boss. But you would never know it. She hides her dislike of her boss like an academy award actress. I try to be there for her and listen to her gripes, complaints and criticism. But it’s tiring me out now because as much as she complains about her boss she does so with no change. I always advise her to either suck it up because she needs the job or do something about it. Most of the time I try to get her to speak up to her boss and defend herself in a professional and intelligent way. But she never takes my advice all she does is constantly complain and complain. I have come to the conclusion she is either a very weak individual who can not stand up for herself or her boss is not the evil bitch she portrays.
My co-worker also has a girlfriend across the hall in another department. For the longest I had to hear her complaining about this person. Then finally, they had a fallen out. Then she started revealing all the girl secrets. Then as high school as it sounds they made up a couple of months later because my co-worker reached out to her first via Facebook. Then it was back to more griping about her. Though I must admit lately not as much. I guess they have really healed all those wounds or she is just wising up about running her mouth so much.
I have come to the conclusion if this person can so easily treat her boss that she detests like she is the best boss ever and smile and hang out with the girl across the hall that gets on her last nerve; how does she really feel about me? How can you completely trust someone like that? When you see how fake they are to others they profess not to like or hate?
Well the answer is you can’t. That’s why I always have my guard up with her. Plus sometimes she goes through phases like she has a problem with me. I know I have done nothing to offend her so all I do is keep to myself and wait for her to warm up to me again. Because of this wishy-washy attitude and my observation of her fake treatment towards others I remain pleasant when she is speaking to me and continue to be a confidant but I never allow myself to trust her fully. All I can do is what I’ve been doing remain professional, friendly and nice no matter what. At the end of the day I leave work behind me anyway. I happen to appreciate and respect my boss fully but I leave him and everyone else I work with at the office, including her. Besides how she conducts herself doesn’t mean I have to conduct myself in the same manner. Life is too short to be worrying about fake work associates!
I feel better for sharing!.
