Have you ever worked with someone, who caused you stress?

when I was a new nurse..I started out as a volunteer for 5 whole months since there was no paying position available and i needed the training...everybody was so nice to me... after that I was awarded a contract which I had to renew everytime... luckily, a post was vacated..and I applied for it..along with 24 others, and I was chosen... I got the rgular paying job..and I was soooooooo excited... The old nurses whom i used to assist when i was new were so happy for me.. However there were some that seemed to always find fault on me... They even came to the point where they posted things on my board...and I was so upset.. The chief nurse likes me sooooo much though and that was supposed to matter most... and she is even trying her best not to make it obvious im her favorite... she calls me in her office just to talk...and tells me stuff i dont even need to know... and she also tells me not to tell anybody in the hospital what we talked about.. but I cant keep up with jealous co workers anymore... I was leaving for CA in 3 months to visit my mom just for a short time... but i didnt wait for that nymore.. I quit my job... and when I came back from CA i never seeked a job there anymroe (they are the highest paying hospital in my place)...

i had experienced something like that on my second job. This guy which is my co-worker was not my boss but he is the head of different department. I don't know where it began what i remember was that one day he came to me screaming, knowing he is a guy and he said something about me. I did not hear it so i went to his office and ask him again. He screamed at me again, knowing I was just in front of his place, of course I answer him with scream too. Since then he was aloof to me and when he sees me his face change like he was seeing the most hateful person he have. I don't take it seriously because I don't know the real reason. But I can't stand that for long and if I stay in the job I know I will just prolong the anger or either he or me got killed, because i definitely want to kill him. I resign and my life became colorful after. After a month i found out to my ex co-worker that that guy was jealous of me and that guy was not a guy but true blooded gay LOL. So that is why he always wanted to scream.

I quit when the woman who had been the supervisor of the other side became the supervisor of the whole unit - well, retired, but she became my boss on March 1st and I was out on March 30th

Yes I have worked with such a person. I imagine we all have. It's not easy but I am not one to quit my job just because another person bothers me. This one lady was just so difficult to deal with. She was just miserable. No one really liked her....not even the customers. For some reason, my boss never realized just how bad she was. I think she put on an act when the boss was around. We had a lot of young people that walked out because of her. Each time one of them would walk, she would call me to come in and fill in until they hired someone new. Finally, I got fed up with it and refused to come in to cover. This left the store in a really bad spot. My boss, knowing that I needed the money and was always good about covering for others called me and asked why I could not help out at all. I just told her that she was losing lots of good help because of this woman and I refuse to cover any more when she drives them away. I then told her all sorts of things this woman pulled. She asked if I was going to quit and I told her "No. She bothers me but I need my job." She did eventually quit and move on. I don't know....I can ignore pretty much anything and work with even the most annoying of people without it affecting my job.

hi forestgold I did not think I was ever going to get back on mylot. It kicked me off then I got back on and it took' forever for it to load,must be having problems. anyway I worked' under two women who made my life miserable. One was new and the second in command and I was so upset with her from day one I could not even know her name, the other was nice one day and a bear the next, she was bi-polar and would not take her meds. so she was always up or down, neither one was fun to be around . The second in command was nasty nice to me, making snide comments about my age and wait. I refused to quit so she pulled an ugly one , she went to my bipolar boss and said either you fire Mrs.Hatley as she is too old and fat, or I quit. well so Emily did let me go but six weeks later both she and the second snooty one who hated overweight older woman both were fired for agism firing of an employee who was one of the best workers in the library.they asked me to come back but Ihad had enough. I was angry and still am.They really said they would welcome me back but no no way would I go through anything like that agaIn ever. my age should not have come into or my weight as I did do my job and even Emily said that I did a great job. so why did she fire me,well who cares now.

Hey forest! Oh how familiar this all sounds! I worked with someone once who was my "manager". She felt that she could do whatever she felt like which meant read the newspaper, file her nails and polish them, talk on the phone, come in whenever or do whatever else she felt like doing! She also was having a fling with the boss! She was supposed to be my "friend"! She would call me every night as soon as I got home! She was driving me crazy! She had a thing for the boss! Turns out they had a thing for each other and I finally told her off and complained to him and guess what? I got fired! So this is only one of my many fun job stories! Want to hear more? I have so beauties! And they are alot worse then this one!

Yes I had been through the same experiece years ago and the guy really made my life miserable. I was put in a situation where it takes away concentration and drains too much mental energy. In the end, I tried to win him as a friend and fortunately I succeeded. That was better than resigning and let him win. I know that was not an easy thing to do, I guess, I was just fortunate.

yes I even slap himhe was just brought into the storew I worked at he was just a cashier I at least was deli manger an he was forever talking down to me telling me crap like he is the man I am just a woman not in this lifetime will I take that crap anyway a customer put his hands where I didnt want him to so I push him an this guy takes me to back of the store yelling at me about being rude to the customers an if they want to touch me what harm can it do then he put his hand on me sister that man that reminded me i was just a woman was picking himself off the floor Thank god my store manger was a great guy he talked to everyone an fired the guy so i stayed at the satore another 5 years

i have many people who i work with before that caused me strees. as in big stress, and so to the point i felt i am going to lose my sanity over them. so i am really choosy now with the kind of person i have around . i just avoid people who will just cause me stress.

I have the similar situation with you ! But I think the reason of the problem is both of us. As me,I must frank mine felling that mine friend can know what I think. If anything is changed,I don't think she is the person worth of my true heart.

Yes I have been in situtation like this and have been put in that situation to be the bossy one which I hated but saved a lot of stress for the company by putting me in that postion. They put me in that postion for I was a worker and made sure things got done so they gave me the people that were slackers and this was there chance to either straighten up or for me to drive them out. If they didnt do there part I would mark it down of course I went the long mile most of the time and gave them a few chances before I gave up on them and wrote everything they didnt do up and after so many they were fired unless I would agree to retrain them from the get go and that did not usually happen very well for once someone who learns one way it is very hard to get them retrained to know and do another. I ended up walking after 4 years of this over one new manager that was bi-polar and instantly the stress was lifted and I felt so much better. I hated leaving the others that were true workers in that spot but I just could not take anymore stress from it with everything else was going on at the time. I was made crew trainer but that was not the point of getting a raise the whole point was for people to do what they were hired for. Now as for the one who stressed me out bossing me was also at the same job and I was to be bossing her which I did begin to rain in on her and she would get so upset especially when I was promoted over her. We are still friends but can't stand her stories one way then five minutes later different. I have moved from that state to another and find this goes on everywhere this company is. (McDonald's of course) Hope this helps you understand and know others have this also.

It sounds like this girl has some internal issues she needs to sort out. Not the kind of person you want to have in an office environment. Maybe she should get a job working alone until she can adjust to working compatibly with others. I have never been in a situation where this has affected me, but I have seen it. My first job out of college I worked in an office with about 6 people. One of the girls in the office was the same as the girl you described. She was always accusing her co-workers of doing this or that and she wasn't even a top level manager. We were all entry-level positions. Since I was a football player and was rather large I think she was intimidated by me and left me alone. Still it was horrible to see her react with others. She was eventually moved to an office that supported only two people. Luckily, the other person in her new office was her boss.

wow im sorry to here that its always worse when its a friend of yours. i have never worked with a friend so i am yet to come across this problem, but i have worked with someone who caused me stress and i still do work with her. she was just really mean to me when i first started working there and now she just tells me to do things that i already know i have to do i just like to do things in a certain rutine and it annoys me when she asks me to do things.

[b]ya! i already work with someone and caused me stress! when i was in highschool i have a friend.. we work by group because we have a project in 1 of our subject. we are 5 in a group. 1 of our groupmates, did not help us! .. shes always texting and chatting with her friends in her fone!!! ..

Yes i did!! When i was abroad to work for a company there is this woman who my friend also who backfighted me then. I did not know that she is really having uneasy feeling when seeing me being friendly to everybody. She is so selfish that she don't want me to have lots of friends. It's really strssful to have that kind of friend whom you trust with all of your heart but in the end will just give you a headache.

not really stress but someone from is really bothering me whenever he arrives at work. we're part of an email team (email support). we recieve, analyze and respond to important emails. but when he's around, he's so noisy. bad thing is, he's sitting next to my station. whenever someone's talking and i'm reading, i get distracted. i hate it.

Hi Helen, What was your manager, man or a mouse? why was she allowed to do that to people and get away with it for a while? to me that is bullying and she should have been dismissed instead of you and the others leaving, thank goddness I did come across anyone like that as I was the boss, can hire and fire staff and had done many time. Love and hugs. Tamara

Oh yes..I have had to work with bosses that breathed down my neck. I have also had to deal with favoritism before and that's no fun either. Sounds like you had a manager that didn't have a clue as to handle the situation. I think that is the problem with a lot of places. Their management is not prepared. If there is ever anyone that trys to "boss" me I am always very polite in saying..Excuse me..when was it you started signing my check?..lol...I have also asked my manager before if it was them or the other person that was to let me know my duties. That usually nips it in the bud. Bosses don't like it when they think someone is moving in on their role.

Yes and the worst thing was that I quit my job because of her. She is my ant my uncles sister and we worked together in my uncles company doing full finish painting and she would always want to tell me what to do and how to do things when I had two hears more of experience than her. She also always got into my personal business and she talked about it with everyone especially her boyfriend. She would even talk about the times that I went to the restroom because I have always had a constipation problem so you can have an idea.

yeah. I think there is always that person in our life, in our work that tries our patience so much. Thank God, I am very patient although I am really pissed off deep inside.
