Ripening Berries

I just don't know what would possess someone to post on her public FB where she has coworkers friended something like this: To a coworker... I just don't want to be afraid anymore. With a meme of a kitten captioned "sniff... you... you big... MEANIE!" following it.

Especially when there is no one at all who has threatened her in any outwardly perceivable way.

She probably meant me, hah. I have taken to making case notes any time I get repeated phone calls from her clients because she won't call them back, timely or at all. It's the only way I've found to make her actually call a client: present her with some accountability. Our company expectation, btw, is that voice mails are returned the same day they are received, unless they are received after hours.

Meanwhile, she trips over herself to volunteer for things that are NOT her job and gets accolades for that, while continuing to not do her own job. You can't make this stuff up.

My sympathies. I've had similar situations, with colleagues not responding to emails from internal customers.

People... *eyeroll*

My issue is that it never changes. She kisses the boss's butt doing other non-essential things because - surprisingly - she's bored from not doing her own work. She stays half an hour after everyone else and often the outgoing mail is jammed full of her stuff. I would bet you an entire paycheck that she doesn't contact a single client for a mandatory interview during that time, she just prints applications and mails them out. Ugh.

Sorry. I think I am reaching my boiling point with that kind of BS. I get my crap done and I do it right, without kissing any butt or cutting any corners.
