Things that bother me at work

Oh well, I guess procrastinating while at work is not ethical either but anyway...

I wrote this blog a few months ago, but unfortunately my thoughts on the subject have not changed - so here is the unedited original:


It's been almost 2 hours since everybody else left and I'm stuck in the office waiting for some program to finish running - and that's when it hit me how much the following bothers me:

  • People leaving the office when it's 5pm and not a minute later. Also the fact that they don't care whether the work is done with their 'everything can wait till tomorrow' attitude...
  • Corporate snakes who wait for the fallen prey. And also live by 'The more I know & keep the others in dark, the more I win' strategy.
  • My ignorant fellow employees who keep saying 'It's not my subject, that doesn't concern me'. Well, dammit, what do you do around here??!
  • Know-it-alls.
  • Practicers of the art of ass-kissing.
  • People who seem to listen to you when you are explaining something, and say they understand, but nevertheless do everything the opposite way they were supposed too. We can also call them plainly 'stupid people'.

Did I forget anything? Any to add to the list?

I can only concur with you on most of these points, especially those who think they know everything? it really annoys those of us who do. Keep up the good work, and keep your chin up. Bill.

I just hate when people walk around making "clicking" noise with their pens.
