It Never Ends

My main gripe is my coworker, I will call her Cindy, never pulls her weight around the office and what makes it worse is that the boss just thinks that Cindy walks on water. My idiot boss has no idea about what goes on in that office, there is only the three of us. What makes it so hard is that he would never believe me if I told him what Cindy pulls on a daily basis. First of all, I was at this company first and I'am full-time. When my boss and I interviewed this gal, it was understood that she would help answer the phone and wait on customers, and her position was only part-time. Well, from day one, she played it out that she had to be there all day in order to get her work done.....bull! There is no reason for her to be full-time and eventually, the boss allowed her to become a full-time employee. What my idiot boss doesn't realize, is that Cindy messes around with personal e-mail all day and even does personal work for an organization she belongs to on company time. I can be up to my elbows in paperwork but still have to answer the phone and wait on customers while Cindy sits in her office, eats and surfs the net. My boss baby talks Cindy and shows her special attention all of the time and even pays her more! No, they are not romantically involved. My boss talks down to me and never listens when I try to air my greviances. I have been job hunting but had no luck so far. I really like my job, but this crap with those two is making me see red. Cindy calls him horrible names and talks about him to other people behind his back. The idiot boss claims to be super religious, but is very judgemental and gossips behind peoples back every day, it's so disgusting. Oh, and all of the guys at work think Cindy is the best because she bats her eyes at them and goes out of her way to suck up to everyone and why? Because she can and the idiot boss makes her look good to them. Now me on the other hand, I sit there and work like a dog and it doesn't matter. Other people including Cindy see how my boss treats me and when I confront him on showing favortism, he just laughs at me. So, does anyone have any suggestions for me? My husband tells me to ignore them, but it's hard to do when you work in a small office and it is thrown in your face everday.

Thanks,
Misunderstood

Sounds like she is nothing more than eye candy. And if she does nothing all day while you do all the work then I would suggest that you just chill ... take two weeks vacation if you have 'em and be 'unreachable' - after all YOU'RE on vacation! Then let's see how things go in the office.

And if 'eye candy' is still there when you get back then make sure that you do YOUR work cuz you have to catch up on it (and refuse to do HER job cuz you're too busy doing YOURS)! I would also make sure that I take my time doing it as well! After all, there is just soooo much of it!

And on those two weeks vacation look for another job!

I understand your pain, it's rough when the cute little princess gets away with doing nothing, and every male there thinks she walks on water. We got rid of ours over a year ago and these stupid men are STILL asking me if I have heard from her.

Ours not only didn't do any work, she couldn't show up on time, and after a while the company got rid of her. It may take a very long time to get rid of your little Princess, so go looking for that next job ! Especially now that you know what idiots your bosses are.
