Do You Work With People Who Think They Are All That?

I have no idea what Jerky is unless you're talking about the dried meat. But as for that person, she has nothing better to focus on that to ridicule others. This is because she has no confidence in herself and her own appearance, abilities and personality. You should look on her as a handicapped person, the same as someone who is confined to a wheelchair because she is just as crippled as that, and even more since she is mean-spirited.

hi tina I have always figured if a person acts like her around me she is jealous that I can do something she cannot do. I always try to ignore that person and pay more attention to my work and to my fellow workers who are not like that with me. I really think she actually envies you and is jealous that you have talents for business she does not possess.I know its not fun working with a person like that.Sounds like you have two great business ventures goingt and will be making more profit as time goes on.good for you. \hugs from hatley.

Lady, you have stated it really nicely, I think. I would just go laughing all the way to the bank Tina. What kind of items do you crochet? Do you have any pictures? I hope you totally wow everyone who is negative with you.

Hubby and I work for ourselves, so we don't have to put up with that crap.

I don't like people who think that they are superior to others. She is perhaps jealous of your success ? If she mocks you, wait the right moment to mock her publicly : it has always been a good treatment, and she will not forget to respect you in the future.

Although I cannot say I have Worked with a person that is so full of themselves they have to put other people down to make them feel better, I can say I have schooled with people in a similar situation. Typical jocks; bullying people and harassing just because they are the "cool kids". In my eyes, you have 2 choices ; Stand up for the Victim (you being the victim in this scenario) Or take the easy way out and just say nothing to the bullies. (you being the bystander who is afraid to stand up for what is right) When it all comes down to it, you know you're not wasting time, and that if she has to put you down to raise her own self esteem, she is the real loser. Every person has the same rights, and I think you should stand up for your self or even report them for harassment. Best of luck. [:

I just hate people like that. We like to make jerky also and we sell it to people we know. We do ot make a living with it but we have made a few bucks here and thee. I wish you much success with it. Try to ignore that person's ignorance! Tell her what you think if she keeps it up!

Hey, Tina....Crochet a pair of socks and give them to her. Give her a free gift of some of your jerky. Suck upto her, flatter her and get on her good side. In other words, kill her with kindness. I've had these kind of people cross my path in life and have found that the kindness route goes further than the frowns and resentment. I had a nosey neighbor who was always talking about the goings on of others and not in a kind way. I befriended her, visited her often and controlled what 'news' she would know about me. I have no doubt that she talked about me to others, but at least I knew pretty much what she was saying because I had fed her all of the information.

Skin color? She is probably jealous of your skill and says durogatory things because of this. People who judge others are not very mature people. I would try to ignore her as much as you can. Maybe you could change around your schedule at some point. It sounds like you do very well with your businesses.

There are always going to be people out there who come across like that. The truth is that she probably wishes she had something creative going on in her life. I think it's great that you have things going on the side. I clean houses during the slow season at work. I am off on weekends and usually have a house to do on Saturdays. I have been asked, because I am in management..why..you make decent money. I think that I do it because every little bit helps and if I ever wanted to start my own business, I would already have some clients and references. It's never silly or petty to be doing something for yourself. I hope you do make it with your jerky and crocheting. There is a guy at work that does jerky and he sells a ton of it. People love that stuff.

There are always going to be people who think they are better than others and have nothing better to do than put people down, but the truth is they sometimes have to do that to make themselves feel better, so in reality do they really think they are all that or are they trying to convince themselves that they are all that? Whenever you feel the need to put others down there has to be some level of insecurity in you. You very well could tell her off, but the best thing to do is ignore her and continue doing business as ususal. She does not deserve the attention she is tryign to get by making fun of you.

This is actually one of the reasons that I decided that I would never work outside the home again unless I am to start my own business. I used to work as a nursing assistant and I really loved the work. However, I didn't like the attitude of the other people that I worked with because the majority of them thought that they were better than everyone else. I just don't deal with that kind of people very well because of the fact that I am and have always been a very humble person.

The girl 's conduct was really a problem to you.Fortunately,you only worked three days together.Some people alway look down on others and find fault in a petty manner,in fact,they more often than not have grandiose aims but puny abilities.And again,It is detestable for her to gossip about you behind your backs.

There are two things that you can do. First, you can ignore her. If you go this route, be prepared to deal with her attitude. Second, you can look into what you both enjoy and strike a conversation from there. Who knows? You might end up having a friend. :)

They must spread them out as I think there is one at every job! LOL....I also have one....her father in law was a county commisioner many years ago and she thinks that make their family something special....well you and I could run for it and get it too...if that were our thing. I also do crafts etc....and part of it is for the joy of doing it. But people like that would never understand...not in a million years! Good luck honey with all your stuff.....now go sell a ton...and show her what you are made of!

Oh I've worked with a couple of girls that thought they were all that and a box of cherries. These girls were sisters and they both worked with me and I couldn't stand either one of them. They acted all upitty and snotty as if the world owed them something. I let them both know they weren't any of that, that they were no better than me or anybody else just that we all have different ideals and opinions but that doesn't make them better than any other person. Oh they didn't like that and acted out some more. Eventually they quit and I never saw them again which was just fine with me. So you can either ignore this ignorant B or you can stand your ground and not let her run you over or feel less of a person. Remember this, she pulls her pants up and her shirt on the same way you do. She sits on the toilet the same as you do. She's no different from you except for her opinions and ideals but she's not better than you.

Some characters are really annoying and does transmit a lot of negative energy. I suggest to adopt some general tactics against such guys. First thing you can do is to be 'sensible' and say "I don't like the way you behave in such and such situation, please try to change yourself for your own good". If he/she was unaware of how annoyingly he/she was behaving, he/she would correct her mistake (or try to correct at the least). If he/she isn't ready to understand or correct her own mistakes what you can do is to start ignoring her. If none of these work, to control yourself and keep your mind calm, think about the good characters in her (if any ) and adjust (simply because you have no other choice. Hope you already got the issue sorted out. Wishing you good luck @ work

Hiya KH, Have I had to work with People like that? Yes but when they tried to spread their fun making around a bit more they cam up with oppostiion and a lot. So although I had to put up with those odd one or two I also learned that People appreciate me as well and still do. Once one of them tried to be really sneaky to me and it backfired on them completely instead they had the whole of the Offices against them and supporting me instead I was moved to tears so much I could not stop the tears flowing. It took me two hours to compose myself again. You know People like that it´s better much better for you not analize them they will almost always be the same as they are now throughout their entire lives. I have an ex Brother like that and goodness knows I cannot waste my life trying to bother about him. It does hurt you know I know it hurts because I have been there but I had to carry on working to have enough Money. I found that silence my silence proved to be a better defence against them in the end. Okay it does not always work that way. Tina you just carry on being the way you are and don´t let them tread on your toes for anything in the World. People like this are one big waste of time to try and figure out like GG and Dragon says and I agree with them too just be you and true to yourself only. I used to have to wear glasses at School all the time for a long long time and that makes for a lot of fun making against you also not having what others have got too. Have suffered that and it makes you a lot harder in a way. Take care and although it´s hard try to avoid them as much as you can.xxx

Hi there, Personally Tina, I would pay absolutely no mind, simply allow her to continue to make a fool out of herself while you count the cash that is going to the bank. Sadly we can't do anything to change bad attitudes, all we can do is not stoop to their level and maybe, just maybe one day she may be down on her luck and inquire on how well you have done for help. hmmm.... evil twin wants to come out. lol I personally think you are doing wonderfully well with your items, pay no mind dear and simply say to yourself that people like this do not belong in your life. Go about and try really hard to ignore her snood remarks.

I don't know what Jerky is, but i know it's something that shows your very talent and give you money, so just keep on doing them. That lady is just jealous of what you are doing. Yes, show her that what she may be sneering at, is something that truly makes you happy.
