I swear to God, I work with some of the pettiest women on this planet.
I work at a medical clinic, and drug reps come by several times a week with free drinks, pastries, and fully catered lunches. I usually skip all of it because I'm shut away in my office doing Telehealth visits, and honestly I'm kind of picky about food anyway.
Yesterday afternoon, one of the reps - someone I knew back in grad school - brought in a big spread from Einstein Bros. Since she knew I worked there, she asked where my room was, came in, gave me a latte, and we talked for maybe eight minutes. No drama. Just catching up.
After that, I was standing by the printer, and one of the most miserable employees there asked me why I was accepting "personal favors" from a pharmaceutical rep that no one else got. I laughed because I thought she was joking.
Nope.
She stood up straight and told me that "unapproved gifts" could be reported to HR, and that she was going to file a complaint.
Meanwhile - the exact same women had been eating the bagels, muffins, and sandwiches the reps brought. I didn't eat a single bite. I told her the coffee was from an old friend from school, who just happened to be the rep. She rolled her eyes and said that was "interesting" because she'd never noticed me talking to her before.
I reminded her that I see around 14 patients during a 9-hour day, finish all my notes, return calls, and don't spend half my shift hovering around the free food - unlike certain people.
I seriously cannot deal with these women.
I have six years left until retirement. Maybe I'll make it through them peacefully... If I don't find myself catching an assault charge in the break room first.
Now we've started acting like information systems graduates are stupid because they chose the wrong degree. And we blame chemical engineering and nursing students for entering the wrong fields. Meanwhile, the average American reads at an 8th-grade level and does math at around a 6th-grade level.
"Yeah, man, I know you took statistics and biology and organic chemistry and coding and physiology, but you should've just picked up a wrench and gone into trades, that's it."
I'll start I have so many things to choose from, but this one still wins for me: A few years ago, one of the directors at my company asked me to step into a Special Projects deputy role. I immediately agreed because it was a good opportunity, and also because I genuinely liked working with him.
Another director at the company had a huge ego, and it was obvious he was annoyed that I'd be working under his management. So one afternoon, he walked into a conference room where I was sitting with a few other people and said: "oh look, it's insert my boss's name's little 'do girl.'"
I said to him: "excuse me?"
He looked me straight in the eye and said: "sorry. Would you rather be boss's name's little bitch?"
Lovely work memories:)
