I was “volunteered” at work a few weeks ago to sit on the committee in charge of our summer celebration. No big deal because I’ve gotten to know some people I’ve never talked to before and it’s not a huge commitment. Attend a few meetings, do some extra stuff and then show up for the celebration. Yay, easy.
What annoys me though is that I have been doing all my assignments and making sure my team knows what’s going on AND stepping outside of what I really needed to do because my boss asked me to do it in front of ALL of my colleagues. One colleague acts like she hasn’t heard all of my updates or read any of my freakin’ emails or heard what the boss explicitly asked me to do. She just does whatever the hell she wants. That’s pretty annoying, but the TOP-IT-ALL-OFF annoying part about it is that I have been warned about this colleague and I have purposefully tried to give her a fair shake. Yeah, she’s a loser who could give two shits about how the process is supposed to work.
