OCD Co-Workers (VENT)

[whirlcool]

A lot of companies like to see this type of behavior, it's called "Attention to detail". But the supervisors don't work closely with these people, they just see the results of their work. They make everyone miserable, and management doesn't even know it or even care about it.

Roadblock

When one employee is given the power to make co-workers and an entire department submit to their control the systems of HR have failed. None of us is so important that we cannot be replaced.

The main problem with Miss Perfect Panties IS:

She isn't quality control. She isn't responsible for policing figures. She is data entry plain and simple. If there is an A on the page then you type an A on the computer screen. If there is a number type said number.

It is not her responsibility to question and hold up the entries because she doesn't "understand" why the case manager did this or that.

She does not have "Attention to details" She Has attention to the minute, and the minute-minutia. No wonder her husband left her. Poor guy.

The boss is out sick (again) today, so she took it upon herself to check how the files are filed. Never mind that she has 26 assessments she should enter and complete(approve)

She works part time at a sports arena. She can't understand the other cash person is out of there by midnight, but it always takes her until at least 4:00 A.M. Well-duhh, the other person is probably satisfied with counting the money three times.

Just an Update

We had a meeting yesterday with our supervisor. Princess, now to be dubbed The Heifer, told the boss that she did not hold up assessments and that her word was always timley, becaus that's the kind of person she is.

She did tell him that "If he wanted she could continue to do the same sub-standard work that was done in the past all he had to do was say so."

The work was not sub-standard. I have been doing this work here at this location for the past eight years. I corrected mistakes that I found, I just didn't feel the need to broadcast it to everyone and make sure they saw it circled in red so that they would learn and not do it again.

Like Lady get of the pot, you are a data entry clerk. When you become the flipping director you can give orders.

In any case she was ordered that she had to speak to me on work related items. It kills her and she won't look in my direction but she did speak towards me for the first time in three weeks.

Now I just go to her about every three minutes with something really small and diddly. Hey, If I have to live in hell then I am going to get some tormenting in as well.

At first I thought she would move on pretty quickly, as we are not good enough for her. But now I am starting to be convinced it's going to take a wooden stake to get rid of her.

...and garlic. Lots of garlic.

LOL perhaps you should wear a necklace of garlic bulbs, just for sh--s and giggles!

Oh, child you have your hands full.

My father is a Scorpio who probably has Aspergers. "Off" but inexplicably so. Oh yeah and mildly OCD. You just couldn't put your finger on "it" {the mental processsing issues). He apprears to other as reigid and inflexible and has zero social graces. He freask out if his expectations are not met. Desperately needs things his way.

Of course I'm open to the possiblity that I am just as looney. After all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

But as I have said countless times, what scares me the most in life, is people's inflexibility in their "FIXED" thought patterns. THOSE WHO DON'T BEND BREAK. Let me tell you where (I think) nervous breakdowns come from. When a person so rigidly NEEDS to believe X, Y, Z despite all evidence to the contraty in real (well--grouned, down-to-earth) life, they expend a lot of mental resources and energy trying to keep their ways of thinking intact.

One day, reality pricks through their fragile baloon, and POP it all goes with a bang! Pieces everywhere.

Moral of the story: be flexible or you gonna get pricked!

Toggles

You are spot on with your assessment. I think this woman is headed for a one way trip to looneyville soon. I think her issues are exacerbated by her recent divorce.

Many a year ago, back when gas was like .89cents a gallon, I worked for a small Credit Union. Our President/Manager was a control freek from hell. Every piece of mail that came in to or went out of the office had to be seen by her and approved.

The woman finally went bonkers, pulled her car in the garage, closed the door and left the engine running.

This is when I realized that I couldn't control everything. You will never be perfect, and if you try you will eventually kill yourself. This is why I quit being so rigid with myself, and a little more understanding with others.

This woman, I know, truely feels she is being highly proficient and can not see she is as rigid as an iron beam. I have to let go enough to realize that I can't control her anymore than she can control me. We have to work together, so I will just have to take more of the yellow and white pills and hope she finds another job soon, or I do.

I had to add

I think this co-worker suffers from a case of aspergers as well. Just take off the pergers and add an /s/ to the first two letters.

~I think this woman is headed for a one way trip to looneyville soon. I think her issues are exacerbated by her recent divorce.

GOOD POINT! I think many women are "wired" to need to love and be loved and to nurture / love SOMETHING!

She may believe her divorce was a random occurance, an event in which she had no part in bringing about,

OR she may take it to heart as being unloved/ unlovable. Probably very hard for everyone, espscially women like her who are certifyable.

Lawd forgive me, but I'm dying to get my mother (who has been divorced 25+ years) something to console her. Perhaps tubular, latex and battery-operated. I can't take the anger and the bitterness and the blame-games anymore. But, alas, we don't have that kind of relationship and my sisters are too chicken to take such a stance.

oh yes En Espanol it "IS" called a "consolador".

now to be dubbed The Heifer...

I simply must learn to not be drinking anything while reading posts here... LOL!!!

Oh, wow! You're gonna need the patience of a saint. I really feel for you as I had such a co-worker during my brief stint working for the Welfare Dept. in Cal. Bad enough that she had to keep her desk organized to the point that she actually used a tape measure to keep everything in it's place but when she started doing it to OTHER people's areas... Aaaarrggghh!

LOL @ Toggles! Would that be a Mother's Day gift or should it be Valentine's Day? LOL!

Why not get a good looking 30 year old to entertain mom? When she's done, you can have your way with him. Or mom can get sloppy seconds, whichever, lol.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Thirty does go into 60 twice.

OMG Please! No! Certian things one has no desire to share!

 

[toggleswitch2]

And it will have to be an ANONYMOUS gift, WITHOUT my fingerprints on it! She'll have all three (ficticious) CSI units like white-on-rice!

~she actually used a tape measure to keep everything in it's place.

But how, when, where do these - er -- uh interesting people determine what is acceptable and what is not. And even worse how does it get fixed in their minds as correct or desirable!

If you can yourself into bad and ridiculosu habits, you can get yourself out!

Update

The Heifer Cow is still running around with her head up her keister. I quit even trying to speak to her as I felt it reinforced her superior stance when she stuck her nose in the air an walked off. I do still flip her off behind her back.

She has a new person training her, and she made the comment to our supervisor about how thankful she was "she learned more from him in 30 minutes than I taught her in the last 90 days."

Poor miserable little __________ doesn't realize that he is actually employed to document her unwillingness to do her job and present his report to the director. So now there could be two outcomes: 1. She can do her damn job. 2. She can continue to be contentious and lose her job.
Either of the above will not make me sad.

 

[qsd-dan]

Sounds like a win-win situation for you. Just be professional and let her dig her own grave. It sounds like she won't be employed there much longer if she keeps up that current attitude.

oooh oooh ooh may I fill in the blank? LOL
