I just can't get over catty coworkers
I'm in retail management at a bigger corporate job and am fairly young to be there (27) which I am very aware of. My two coworkers who are also assistant managers are way older than me (mid fifties) and have decades more experience than me with our job. Typically we get along, have much better communication than other stores in our district, and so our jobs very effectively together. However one of them is the biggest old catty bitch I think I ever have met.
Every single thing that happens that minorly effects her you would think is someone saying fuck you to her face. She constantly bitches about everyone being in a bad mood, while simultaneously being in a shitty mood every single day. She talks shit about everyone to everyone including me. She literally got HR complaints for being a bully when my other coworker first started. she thinks she knows everything and makes it very clear she thinks she's the greatest thing to ever happen to our store.
We had a bad day last Friday, I came in as the closing manager and it was an absolute shit show. I don't want to go into too many details because it'll give away where I work, but anything that could be wrong was wrong. Now anytime I have had a bad day I've been put through the ringer. Told I'm selfish, don't care about my other managers sections or job, told I don't know how to do my job, that I don't work hard enough etc. I vented to our boss about it, because she is very level headed and understanding. She said I should talk to her about it and express my feelings, that they were valid and it should be an easy conversation and would help her see my side. so I very calmly and professionally tried to talk to her about how I was frustrated about the way things were when I came in on Friday and holy shit you would have thought I told her to go fuck herself and die. She started yelling at me, telling me to tell her what she could've done differently, telling me I should have been an adult and came to talk to her instead of throwing her under the bus to my boss (I didn't, she never even was spoken to about Friday besides from me).
I am just so over her. Her attitude sucks, she's an old bitch who thinks she's better than me because she's been at this store since it opened, she's always being mean and rude. i absolutely love my job, I make good money, have great benefits, and decent hours. I am just so over her bullshit and her inability to be an adult when she gets constructive criticism.
Thanks for listening to my rant 💖
