Working With Assholes

[FuZzYknUckLeS]

You know the fucker. Takes credit where none is due. He's everybody's friend until being your enemy better suits his cause, then he's all like 'no hard feelings, nothin personal bud' after dry-humpin' you. Just business bro. Monday mornings, asks how your weekend was, then immediately starts talking about his weekend before you get a chance to answer the question. Talks bad shit about other guys in the firm when they're not there. Every other guy. Makes ya wonder what's said about you when you're out of the office. Cuts in on discussions between other people all the time, forcing his opinions down their throats. Always has the answer, even when he's wrong. Blah blah blah...
How do ya deal with this dipwad, seeing as how you gotta share the same air for the foreseeable future?

(the above is based on a purely hypothetical situation and is intended soley for the purpose of generating a productive dialogue on the subject...really...)

If possible, ignore /shun him. If more people did that he might get the message and modify his behaviour.

Work hard ... get promoted then the first order of business is to fire his ass. Or if you can't fire him ... transfer him to man an arctic radar station or somewhere far far away from your presence.

are you serious? the 'asswad' is on his way to running the company in 5 years and all the 'hard workers' are just making his job easier! there is no way to win with these guys because their motto is 'look out for #1'

if you become his friend, he'll stab you in the back for the next promotion.

if you become his enemy, he'll use it a leverage in getting promoted.

this is the bottom line in business: no ethics? go to the head of the class!

Best case is to ask yourself if you like your job enough to put up with this shit or leave and deal with the next asshat.

In my experience, honesty, integrity and hard work got me nothing but more work. On my own I was producing more product (with better reviews!) than the whole bloody division combined! Who got the promotion? You bet: the asshat who spent half his time talking to his friends and the other kissing the director's ass.

My advice? make an alliance. help him if he helps you. you'll know its happening when the boss invites you to lunch with your new buddy. if it doesn't, then start looking for a new job. no matter how bad this guy will fuck up he will not go down for it.

Every boss wants and needs an ass-kissing gun-slinger, and this guy sounds like he's wearing the badge ... and you're wearing his next target!

I agree with you on that one LG.

Why is it that all Supervisors and managers are bitches or dickwads and how the hell did they get the job in the first place. They're damn lazy, they won't touch work (they pass it on to you), too stupid to operate a computer and they take many breaks.

I for one worked hard since I was in school, never kissed ass in school or at work and never will.

if you are at job you could afford to lose i would just make it so that his/her time at work isn't tolerable. at my work we have alot of people who are assholes and whenever they give me shit i just give it to them back even more and they generally back off. and oh yah never let them know that it bothers you because then they have the advantage. and whenever you can file a false anonymous harrassement suit if you can get away with it

 

[westwoody]

More experience

At least you can plan for the assholes you know about. The worst are the guys you work with for twenty years, you get along great and then out of the blue they fuck you over. Just happened to me.

 

[GhostX]

Sometimes it is not a good idea to confront these types of jerks and AHoles
directly, expecially when they are your supervisors. They usually have a
bunch of buddy buddy brown nosers around them who will harass someone
their so called leader does not like, to earn extra brownie points. Then your really screwed. You get the worst tasks, along with extra harassement.

working with assholes, you need lots of lube, to make sure they dont hurt. if you wanna hurt them, just fuck them

 

[luckydog71]

I look forward to find the asshole at work

Every office every worksite has an asshole. It is the law of nature and when I go to a new place I am always relieved when I spot who he/she is.

Why the hell is that you say?

If every place has one and I can't see him, then there is only one person left that could possibly be the "ass hole at work".

You got it.....It would have to be me... by process of elimination
