Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
They were handing out promotions and I got passed over for "specialists" who specialize in hanging out with the boss for 2 hour lunches and putting in 25 hour weeks.
Me? I just am first in, last out and win cases that others lose. Who would want that in a lawyer? I have been bent over and f'd up the ass so many times. I have 20 years of excellent State service and, for the first time, am really thinking hard about leaving it behind.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
I have a feeling it will be full day of Warpathing for me. I think I will read and post until the "specialists" show up. So, I should be good for at least another couple hours ... add in lunch and I am good until about 3:00. Then, of course, it's time to go home to - I kid you not, this an actual quote from one of them - "avoid rush hour". You know how I f'ing avoid rush hour? I work until 6:00 - 6:30.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH !!!

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
When your office has a all hands meeting and the boss says please ask anything and you do. Then get fire stormed for it.
Apparently don't ask what the roles of new hires are in the office, that is a no no.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
One purchase and they annihilate my screen with sexy legs. Overkill if you ask me. What about all of the PC parts I've just bought and sold!?!?!?
Noooooooooooo...we're going to try to fill this guy's closet with panty hose.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
My new boss calls me "big dog." Gears --> Grinded. He also told me he expects me to be his muscle. Sigh. Between this and completely changing my normal work routine, this hasn't been a smooth transition so far.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
People who stop to let other people in.
Honestly if youre doing this dont think youre being a nice guy, you arnt. All your doing to helping one person out at the expense of everyone behind you. That person trying to turn on to OUR lane will be able to do so in just time, dont worry about him. Its not your job to help him out while screwing over everyone behind you that missed a light they wold have otherwise made.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
Bosses who micromanage. And are also determined to "fix" what isn't broken. Is this related to previous posts of mine in this thread? Yes. I'm officially going insane.
