There is this chick I used to work with…
She left to go work for a government agency, but she tends to want out of a job when the novelty has faded and the not-so-great parts of her daily work start grating on her nerves (she also has other issues, namely, she has anger issues, she also has no respect for other people’s boundaries, but she wants her boundaries to be respected). Once the novelty of her shiny, better paying government job filled with employee benefits and the like, wore off, she came back to see my boss to beg for her old job back.
Now, let me explain something, she’d done this too, while here, begging to go back to reservations because the pressures of data entry were too much for her, and she was under a ton of stress and whatnot, which was also why she left reservations to begin with. Apparently, she was a bit of a terror in reservations, snapping at co-workers if she was having a bad day, which was more often than not, due to the stress of THAT job.
When she left our office for the government job, she trained me to take over her tasks, because she used to build the cruise products. So those tasks are now my product. I’m the main cruise product builder.
So she comes back, begging for her old job back, and our boss told her very bluntly: “You wanted to go back to reservations, when you were still here, because data entry was too much stress. Now you want to come back here from your new job, because that new job is now too stressful for you. I’m sorry, but I currently can’t hire (which wasn’t entirely true, as that co-worker was coming back after hearing another colleague of mine was leaving), and even if I could, I’m not sure you’d be a good fit…”
She comes for lunches (and eats in our break room, which is actually forbidden, if you’re a former employee, a friend or a family member, you are supposed to go eat off the premises) every so often, but ever since she was rejected that way, she’s been ignoring and avoiding me, or talks down to me or makes hurtful comments.
Like it’s my fault she’s been refused.
She’s coming in today, and I have every intention of NOT changing my habits. I won’t let her drive me away from my normal lunch group, which happens to be the same people she’s coming in to have lunch with.
