Tuesday morning thread brought to you by work frustration

[u/StuckInPMEHell]

We finally hired a new employee and I’ve been told he will be taking over some of my duties while I’m out. I sent him an email this morning letting him know my schedule for the rest of the week so we can get together for the handoff (basically working half-days today and tomorrow, then off the rest of the week). He replied he’s available on Friday. 🙄 Guess I’ll just send everything over email and hope he understands everything.

I finished something that would normally take weeks in a day. It’s hard because I don’t want to say it was a piece of cake, still a lot of data manipulation. They might find me as useless as a Michigan QB

That reminds me of the time I was leaving a job and I basically did some of my coworkers job. He didn't trying doing his job until I told him I have 2 weeks left then nothing then 1 week he decided to learn to do his job.

So the winter storm knocked water out of our whole city system yesterday and we will have boil notice for the water for like 24 hours after the water comes back on. The water has been off for us for 24 hours.

At my old job, I finally got a coworker in my department after literal months of doing everything by myself.

Guy gets hired and then near-immediately takes a week-long vacation. Might as well not even have started then yet.

That’s one of those “Bruh.” Moments. Does he understand that this is his chance to actually be walked through what he’ll be doing?

That’s always frustrating. I trained someone for months and then they didn’t end up passing their qualifications, so that was a lot of wasted time on my part. Still waiting to get another person to train.
