🤬Bitch Bitch thread

So I got to the airport at 3:30 for a 5:30 flight home and it kept getting changed and then, at 10, when the plane was finally there, the flight was cancelled. So now I’m having breakfast at comfort inn with a nice Japanese family. Hopefully I will get home tonight
 
Not really a bitch, but...

I sat on an interview committee today for a position with my agency tangentially related to what I do. Part of our interview process involves taking notes and scoring the candidate's responses, all of which becomes public record later so you have to be careful what you write.

Second candidate is an older male-to-female tranny. Maybe 60 years old. No attempt to change voice, so he talked like a man but dressed and wore makeup like a woman.

When s/he left, the first person to say anything about it was the butch lesbian head of one of our other departments. She just couldn't help herself. She said something like, "Anyone else having problems writing 'he' instead of 'she' in your comments?" And laughing her ass off. I though the HR rep was gonna murder her.

The tranny was actually qualified for the position and gave a pretty good interview, but there are other good candidates, too.
 
What are the odds people will do that in an interview just to get a leg up. Qualified, but competitive. So dress like a tranny and make people scared not to hire you or whatever.

FTR - I hate HR people. All of them.
 
We had a guy interview straight, got the job, showed up as a woman, quit soon after claiming he was being harassed. It was in our HQ in Canada where nobody is harassed for anything. Not sure if he sued or not, but guessing he did and was his intention from the beginning.
 
I am old enough to remember when it’s was fine to reject a candidate for not dressing appropriately. How is a dude in a dress appropriate? Isn’t there any care for the fact he makes people (women sharing a bathroom in particular) uncomfortable? That it’s bad for morale? Suddenly we’re all supposed to shut up and take it.

I couldn't get a job at Publix when I was 16 because I wouldn't take my earring out and my hair was too long.

"Bad for morale" was a discussion we did have later (without mentioning the trannyism) - whether this person was a good fit to lead the team of employees working under him.
 
My stove went wonky last week, thermostat fucked. Put an eye on medium and it was glowing red non-stop. Ordered a new one...I'll admit, as much as I cook, I'll kinda geek out on an oven with wifi and all the bells and whistles (but still hate that I can't get gas here). Anyway, the delivery guy just called....sounded like the dumbest man on earth. I don't know how someone sounds so illiterate with so few words, most of which consisted of "uhhhh".
 
People who give unsolicited advise like you're a moron when they haven't listened to word you said.

Been chatting this woman who lives in Ft. White. I've mentioned I'm a multi-generational local, I've mentioned I went to school in Bell, etc. She asked what I was doing today, said I was taking the kid to the springs. She starts talking to me like I just moved here. Don't take her to ginnie, it's full of riff raff now! I recommend you go to here, here, or here.

I tried not to be too condescending, but fuck I don't have the patience of stupid shit like that. I did ask, "Did you overlook the part where I said I'm a local or did that somehow sound like I'd never been to any of the springs before?"

This is right after she was talking about how stupid people are. Stupid like springsplaining to the guy 3 years older than you who grew up a few minutes from the springs and drove past them for years?
 
I have a pretty damn complicated site to grade, but the PE didn't give me near enough details about the function of the site that the client wants. He got me most of them by last night and then tells me he needs it all done today for his COB meeting with the client. This would normally be beyond a day of work. However his desired direction won't work....grading a site when a PE does it in their head or on paper isn't the reality when I actually design it.

There's a question I can't answer....Message, message, call. FFS it's 10am, answer your fucking phone or computer if you want this shit done on time.
 
I’m not an HR expert but I’ve learned that being nice to employees usually bites you in the ass. Gotta hand out discipline and performance plans like candy so when the inevitable discrimination suit gets filed, you can show how incompetent they were.
 
That's pretty true. Document everything. At least, I assume, gargin or the company should have plenty of numbers to prove it was performance and not age related. Even compare it to the older fella who's doing his job. I'd also get it in writing or subpoena every single person he told about his June retirement (assuming it goes to court)...I mean, in one post it sounds like he has enough proof to defend himself.

People seriously suck. Years ago, I had a coworker who was 100% incompetent. Super nice guy, we bullshitted all the time. But he took a month to do a project that I could do in under a week, which I had to do because he'd fuck it up so badly, I had to redo the entire project. Every time. I collected everything I had to. I had over 6 months of emails, deadlines missed, etc. of examples of how terrible he was at the job. They wouldn't fire him because he was one of the few black people. So they gave him more rope to hang himself and intentionally let him kill a multi-million dollar job. We pissed off the client and lost the profit for 6 more months just so they could fire him without worrying about a discrimination lawsuit.

Here's a novel idea: A company can fire whoever the hell they want to for any reason because....it's their company.
 
I have one jackass i have to deal with. He’s headstrong, sometimes rude, not lazy but at times can get a case of the don't GAF, can wake the dead with farts.
 
My coworker had his meeting with the client Wednesday afternoon. He expected me to wrap up their comments yesterday, but I took a sick day. He said he was still working on them and he wanted me to call to discuss. I said when you save the PDF and I have something to look at, I'll call. I won't remember shit verbally. I check at 5pm and the PDF still had yesterday's date. I ask him about it, he's sitll working on it and he hasn't save it yet.

What. The. Fuck. First, you've had the file open 24 hours...SAVE IT once in a while. And how was I supposed to get work done that he hasn't finished, but using me taking a sick day as the reason to postpone a submittal with the client?
 
Old people on the internet. They type like they speak - They give you 5 words of relevant comment, then 50 words of personal issues or erroneous details to strangers.

I see it all the time and refrain from saying, "No one cares". This was finally spurred by the Alachua Co weather FB page where I see comments like, "I hope we don't lose power, I'm on oxygen....blah blah blah, but I primarily use the machine".

Is someone or the County going to bring you a generator in the low event we lose power from this rain? Why the fuck did you just tell the County about your oxygen? No one cares.
 
Fuck UF Health. Wind, power outages, flooding... doesn’t matter. "Come on in for your non-emergency job. If you're worried about driving in a hurricane, come in the night before and we'll find you a place to sleep".
These dumbasses think people are going to flock to the clinics to see their doctors. Oh, well, gotta bill for as many unnecessary tests as they can.
 
They all do it.

My last company actually had Emergency paid leave due to natural disasters. Even when storms came through that were bad enough for the Sheriff's office to issue a "Don't drive unless it's a medical emergency" warning, they still told us to come in or take vacation time, they didn't care if we were told by authorities to stay off the roads, emergency vehicles only. People with trees blocking their road and no power? Come in to work, you have 2 days or it's going on your record. Pissed so many people off, what was the point of Natural Disaster PTO as a company policy if not even a hurricane on top of you qualifies?

I'm working now, watching the trees and rain out the window and doors.
 
Fuck I hate cold callers. I have a limb down from the storm, guy just rang the bell to see if I'd pay him to cut it up for me. Not even haul it off. I said no, I'll take care of it. He said, "you sure, I have a chainsaw". I said, "So do I, how do you think I'll take care of it?"

last week it was the power washer. The week before it was a tree guy. Literally once a week, some asshole trying to sell a service. One guy I asked, "Why would I power wash a driveway underneath oak trees? It looks like shit less than a month later."

Republican and Democrats have stopped by.

I get people need to make a living somehow, but virtually NO ONE likes strangers coming to their house to hock a service. I may make a sign for my wall that lists of all these people and disturbing me will be met with hostility :lol:
