Stupid people...

I'm in a mood to rant today so bear with me...

Where to start. I work with a group of mostly women, myself included, and ONE man (he's our General Manager, BOSS). I'm the Production Manager and have been for the past 2 years. Well some of the other girls decided that they didn't like the way the boss was handling things so they decided to have a meeting with his boss (without telling him) to discuss things and try to get him fired. Read this if he goes, I go!!! I will NOT work with the moron squad that will be left.

The Advertising manager headed up the troops and made the fatal mistake of putting my name and another co-worker's name who didn't agree with them into the mix. Well they had their meeting 4 of them (out of 9 employees, 2 of which I know didn't agree and another 2 that poss. didn't even know what was going on) with our Regional Manager. They told her that WE were a united front (duh I remember 2 of us at my desk telling her we didn't agree with her). Needless to say they didn't tell me when or where the meeting was, cause they know I would have crashed it and told them off. Anyways, they told the other person about the meeting and how happy they were cause the boss told them that our boss would be fired today (well its 4:21 pm and he's still here ;)). Well she called me and told me she was pissed off cause they used our names in spite of being told not to. I got a little "loud" on the phone with her and another co-worked, who decided to listen to my conversation instead of working, called the ad manager and told her that I knew something was up. So she called the other poor co-worker and yelled at her and told her not to talk to me anymore. I'm tired of playing the stupid games by now (BTW this all happened Friday, and I left at 11 am) so after I left, I convinced myself that I would take a job offer at another paper (still waiting to here back from them though). My friend calls me at 3 pm upset because all the other little girls jumped her and told her under no circumstance was I to be spoken to. Great please don't talk to me, my life will be much better off :P.

I spent the weekend upset and then my Tigers lost (didn't help the mood). Got to Monday and one of the 4 tried to have a conversation with me (not work related) so I told her that I was too busy (I'm never to busy to talk LOL). Then 2 of the others started passing notes to each other about me (what are we back in middle school). And one of them was dumb enough to write the note on a fax for someone else and the boss read it and was like what is this, the girl tried to make light of it by saying she didn't remember who she wrote the note about. (the note said she's in a foul little mood today and had an arrow pointing toward my desk, duh george).

Well today with no one but me and the boss in the office, I told him what had been going on. And he called the Regional manager and asked about my concerns (not mentioning my name or the other co-worker). She assured him that all was well. We both felt much better about the situation. Then after lunch I get a frantic email from the other co-worked that she just got a call from one the the 4 morons that I had ratted them out to the boss. Well the only 3 people that knew that were me (I didn't tell), my boss (I know he didn't say anything) and the big boss. Come to find out she called the ad manager and told her what was going on. Now I knew the girls in my office were two-faced, but I figured the boss would be a little more mature.

Now my boss is playing with the idea of going over her head to her boss and telling him what's going on. I'm all for it. This type of situation should not happen in an office of adults. Now I'm dreading coming back to work. The other co-worker is refusing to step foot in the building, instead doing her work from home and faxing/emailing it to me.

I will NOT let this get me down. I've got a concert/girls weekend with my SIL and a friend this weekend and I'll be damned if there going to get to me. BTW the concert is my all time favorite band New Kids On The Block in New Orleans on Saturday :-)

Well if you made it this far... Thanks for reading.
