Secret work enemies

There are a few horrible kopites in mine. I'm surrounded.

There's a few teams I hate like. People who are on twice as much and do very little. Seemingly just take Teams meetings all day.

NHS if you hadn't guessed.
People who keep telling everyone how busy they are full of it. Have loads of pointless meetings all day.
 
I’ve been avoiding one of the higher ups on Teams for about a week straight now as she’s the angriest woman on the planet and is likely just waiting to go ballistic over something insignificant (she’s a bit of a bully to put it mildly)

Seen as I go to Japan towards the end of October, I’m going to try and go full Solid Snake and avoid her until I get back in November
 
Always tend to have one of these me. One was because he did absolutely nothing yet was beloved by the managers, another because he was just naturally annoying with his quirks (wasn't just me who got wound up, nobody had any patience for him) and the most recent one was again lazy but also really arrogant, wouldn't even acknowledge you if you said hello in the mornings. Smug little tool.

Just how I'm wired I think, I have to project my frustrations onto a colleague even if they've never gone out of their way to be an arsehole to me directly.
 

I’ve been training this woman recently on my job and she has the most nauseating, abrasive Birkenhead accent.
She seems nice enough, but her voice makes me want to break things.

Instead of saying ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’ when we start work, she makes this noise like “AAYYEEERRRR” :(

Birkenhead is our version of the American Deep South.

Just-say-no.webp
 
Oh yeah, and how can I forget the maverick manager we had. His surname was Roach, so naturally to me he was Cockroach.

He was the smarmiest most unlikeable man, yet he thought he was loved by everyone. He’d come up to your desk and peer over your shoulder and offer you ‘tips’ which generally consisted of poor advice. He also couldn’t spell to save his life, so some of his emails were quite entertaining. To top it off he ate apples like a shire horse. Mouth wide open, lips smacking and tongue lashing all over his face. Grim.

It’s made me a little bit angry remembering all this lol
