Bad Co-Workers Part 1

by Roxanna Andrews

I got into 'it' with a person at work.
Oh yes, she deserved it, she was a jerk,

But I'm the one in trouble, well it's not really bad,
But I got sent to HR, nothings more sad.

You're made to feel like you're five years old,
You have to sit there while they scold.

Then I got sent home, to think about what I had done,
But instead I decided to do something fun.

After 37 years in the same place,
I didn't worry too much that they had a good case.

This had never happened before,
I wasn't worried they'd show me the door.

Besides if that 'girl' hadn't been fired,
(And she should have been long ago)
I should be there until I'm retired.

You see this girl and a friend had been waging a war,
Against my nice boss to settle a score.

For 4 long years they had been doing her wrong,
And it was always the same old song.

"I work my butt off and get nowhere here!"
And I wanted to say, "Well, frankly my dear,

If you've not figured out after 8 years of no butt,
That in this department all the doors are shut,

(They are locked too, for security reasons)
And no matter what the time or season,

There is just no ladder for you to climb,
Then you aren't as bright as you say ALL THE TIME!!"

Year after year they cried to HR,
Reporting my boss for things most bizarre.

No truth to any of it, my boss always exonerated,
But that didn't keep her from feeling humiliated.

Thinking they were due every consideration,
This girl and her minion wrought devastation.

True story, just happened last week. Has been a rough time at work, lots going on and my nerves were raw, so I lost it. All true about the 4yrs this girl and another co-worker wage a war on my boss. It is still unreal to me that they got away with all they did. These days you almost have to kill someone to get fired, you can even threaten to kill and still keep your job. It is all very sad and my poor boss who wouldn't hurt a fly, has been put thru the ringer. She is still waiting after almost 2 weeks to hear what HR decided about this and this girl has quit and isn't even at work anymore. She and her little friend are both gone now, Thank you Lord, but the one's parting gift was to once again get my boss and me this time, in trouble by running to HR and she was the aggressor. unreal to me. She and her friend really felt they were held back by our boss. They weren't too bright to stay 10 and 8 years being so unhappy and never figuring out that you don't advance in that dept, there is no where to go. I could never figure out what they thought was going to happen, they'd be running the dept. Over every ones dead body! My boss is close to retirement and is ready to do so now with all this. What a lousy way to end a 40yr career. She does finally have 2 supervisors who will defend her, but they just started, I wish they had been around the last 4yrs. I know this wouldn't have gone on.
