OK, you have remember my vent from a month or so ago about my co-worker that is a total pain, just basically doing whatever she wants, when she wants, not picking up after herself.. I went to my store manager, things should have changed, but they really haven't..

but today, today takes the cake.. I get a call at about noon from work, they are 'warning' me that D has decided she is going to work tonight because there are so many cake orders that she's afraid I can't get them done.. she went to the STORE manager (some person I went to) instead of the dept. manager, and told him that basically *I* couldn't handle it and she needed to come in and 'help' me.. so I knew this was going to be a horrible horrible night.. so I get to work and am already in a pissy mood.. there are 11 cake orders for tomorrow (not the 20 that she had told the store manager)--D works tomorrow, there wasn't aproblem with getting them done--- I got all but 3 cake orders done in a 2 hours, I had most of them done before D even showed up..plus a few more that came in.. and I still had two more hours to work.. so I could have very easily had those, plus some, done..

but what really pisses me off is that she went to the store manager.. so now he thinks I'm completely incompitent, that I can't handle these freakin orders.. I didn't need her to come in.. it just totally recked my night.. she gets there and does 1 order, and moves onto Sunday's orders.. WTF, really.. she has plenty of time to do Sunday's orders tomorrow.. Also, when I arrived at work I pointed this out to my boss.. that she has other 'motives' besides there are to many cake orders..1, she made me look like a complete ass to the store manager, 2 she's getting all orders done early so she can leave early tomorrow and 3 she's gaining extra hours and well, 4, she's BUGGING ME!:mad: she's called my house several times..I told my boss I was blacking my number out.. there is NO reason for her to be calling me.. the ONLY one that needs that is my manager..

I had told my manager that I was getting the orders done for tomorrow and when they are done, I'm leaving.. so when they were done, I left, man, was she MAD, LMOA:D...

She asked me if I was still mad at her, I said yes (I also came into empty buckets and tupperware, that had just bits of frosting in it.. she didn't bother to clean them) and she asked why.. I just looked at her and said it wasn't worth getting into (the last time we talked, it was all 'my' fault.. she never does anything wrong..)About 15minutes after I left tonight matt calls me and says D called ( :mad: ) and said she didn't go to the store manager that he just happened to answer the phone..first off, the store manager never happens to answer the phone and second, she had this all planned out last night while she was working, and he was closing the store.... Honastly I think she thinks I'm stupid.. my manager knows I'm pissed.. I'm even more Pissed than the empty buckets and nasty frosting bags.. don't try and make yourself look all high and mighty by making me look like an idiot.. They said that if she doesn't straighten out, she's gone.. so I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting.. doesn't happen soon, and I'm gone.. its so highschool and I don't know why I let it get to me:rolleyes:, but I'm so sick of it!

ok, vent done LOL..

I second that...even though I'm not real sure what a butt cone is, sounds like a bad thing.

How about I hold D still and we all throw cakes at her ? :D

I'm sorry that she gets to you....but if I may....she probably knows she does, and I think she uses it to her advantage...she must know you can handle much more than she and are most likely better organized than she ever will be...so that surely gets on her nerves, and she takes it out on you...because she knows she'll get a reaction out of you...not trying to insult you here at all...just psychobabbling on your colleague's behaviour :cwds:

Why not make a list of all your assets and accomplishments at work and have that handy in case your boss decides to put you two against each other?

Good luck!!

Wow..I got mad reading all of this..

I do not like the fact that she is calling your home :eek:

If you do not want her to call you at home, tell her not to call you, and if she does then tell her you will consider it harassment if she continues to call. Of course this will fuel the fire more..

I'm sorry, but if I wanted someone to call my home I would personally give them my phone number..She is out of line

I have an idea but I don't know if it will work. Could you take a camera in and take a picture of the mess she leaves behind with a time and date stamp on ?
Maybe it will speed things up. That woman really has self-esteem issues but you do not need to be her battering ram.

Aack!
Kim, this is crazy. I thinks it's time that you, her, your manager, and store manager all have a pow wow. However, from how she sounds I don't know how much this will help! She definitely has some issues with self esteem!

How dare she call your house!

well, we had a little talk this morning.. it was her, my assisant manager, and the dept. manager... hopefully things are worked out.. I told them if it continues I'm outa there.. they all know it.. but they don't want anyone going anywhere because its getting into graduation season.. they'd be so screwed.. D says friday night was a big misunderstanding.. I don't think so... but whatever.. I'll give it a little while longer, if things don't change I'm gone..

I don't want to leave because come the fall I'm switching to days.. I've got it made there with hours, doing what I want with my schedule.. if something happens with either kid, I can easily call out.. at another job, I may not have that freedom.. so I will see if this works.. if not, then I'm not doing anymore of this meeting crap.. I'll just give my two weeks notice..

thanks for understanding everyone:)

Okay, so why exactly are you not doing cakes on your own???? I have a friend that stays covered up working from home baking and decorating cakes. Something to think about maybe????? GO FOR IT, YOU CAN DO IT!

Very good question! You could at least start part time from home and eventually switch over to completely working for yourself. How about GF cakes?

How about you make her a nice, pretty cake that say's "I'm sorry" on it. But -use her own dirty, moldy tools to make the cake - tee, hee, hee... Watch with glee as she takes a bite of her own "special" cake. Ha!

Well, things haven't changed much at all.. I got another empty large bucket of frosting left for me today, and some smaller ones that have barely any frosting.. I am so sick of it.. she's worked 1 day since we've had our meeting.. she's working tonight..so I'll see how things are tomorrow when I go in.. I asked my manager to check on things the morning after she works because I feel like I'm jsut constantly complaining about her and afraid they'll think I'm just out to get her.. I want her gone.. but not right now, its graduation season.. I have to work 9 hour days to keep up if she goes.. I've done it the last 4 years, but its hard.. lots of other people watching the girls.. my manager said he'd check on things himself and that if she doesn't smarten up (I've heard it before though) then she is going up front to be a cashier (where she came from..) I have decided that I will give her one more week.. since we alternate days I'll give her until next friday.. and if she's still doing it.. I'm getting another job (and I don't care WHAT it is) and giving my notice.. I'm done complaining about it.. I have enough stress at home, I don't need to go to work and have that much more stress.. my manager pointed out today that she was 'kissing my butt' at the meeting.. it was kind of funny, and quite obvious.. I almost told her to knock it off LOL..

I do wedding cakes and things, but I just don't have the room in this house to do it full time.. our kitchen is small (and I HATE baking, I buy the cakes from the store and just decorate them LOL).. its great money though.. big $$ for a few hours of work, but its stressful too.. especially with the kids around..

Kim,

You should start a line of gluten free b'day cakes and cupcakes!
