I would just like to say, I think it's time you retired. You have been wanting to retire for a couple of years now, but I think today is the day. You obviously don't want to be here, you're slacking in all departments, you constantly look out the window with yearning. All you talk about is what you're going to do when you retire. The only thing stopping you is your wife, she doesn't want you to retire until she does...well I say "stuff it". She can retire when she wants to, then she can meet you on the golf course or out for an early supper. But your lack of desire to be here is starting to seriously affect my job. I need you to scan those transmittals and answer the phones when I'm in the bathroom. I need you to file the huge maps that are stacking up and please, for the love of god, can you put the files back when you're done with them? Life is rough, and you've had a good run at this job, time to enjoy the finer things in life so we can hire someone that still NEEDS to work.

Thank-you,

Your co-worker

    Dear Co-Worker,

    When my eyes begin glazing over after listening to you yammer on about a phone call that you took or a life's event that I never asked you about, please shut-up and leave my office.

    I have pretend people on mfp to attend to. :laugh:

    Sincerely,

    Don't you ever need to take a breath?????? :noway:

    Dear Co-Worker,

    Your an @ss hole. No one likes you here. Your in your late 50's. You are alone, you will be alone for ever because you think your right and perfect. But in reality your not. If you were a little nicer and didn't come down the stairs and say "Whats up Bi&^h" Maybe I would be a little nicer to you. Oh and another thing, yelling at your computer because your ignorant doesn't fix anything.


    Sincerely,

    The receptionist

    This is perfect. I was just wanting to rant.

    Dear Co-Workers,

    When you send me a request and I send it back asking for additional information, escalating the issue to my manager is not going to resolve it any sooner. It will only result in my manager sending it to me to handle and me calling your manager. I need the additional information for a reason. It helps me determine if there is a problem with the vendor or a merchant that I need to have fixed with them. Also, answering an email where I ask you a question with "Thank you" isn't answering anything. Again, it only results in me sending it back to you. I will not resolve your problem unless you provide me with the additional data I need. My manager will not help you. Her manager will not help you and sending an email complaining about the fact that I'm asking for additional information to resolve the issue properly to the person directly under the CEO WILL NOT HELP YOU! There's a reason I need the information. Just send it to me and all will be well. Otherwise it creates way more work for me making me extremely unhappy which just leads to a phone conversation with your manager because you're preventing me from doing my job correctly.

    Thanks,

    Dear Co-worker,
    You know that bribe you took from a client and the fake expense report you asked me to co-sign?
    I told the ethics committee.

    Good luck with that!

    Dear Co-worker,

    You just started here - less than a month ago. Stop b!tching about people and complaining to me. I don't want to hear it, plus you should be very careful who you talk badly about. That lady you insulted? She is the Director's sister. Maybe you should consider putting in some years of service before you complain, otherwise suck it up and shut your mouth.

    Also, don't speak to me for the first 30mins of coming in the door. I really don't care that it is cold outside, that you're tired, or you were stuck in traffic. This is my alone time, and I much prefer it without having to hear your annoying voice.

    Oh, and you're not always right.

    Sincerely,
    Annoyed Senior Specialist

    Nothing. Working federal government means I would be slapped with a union grievance for Ageism so fast that it would be me getting in poopy.

    Dear co workers

    If someone pays a bill while I'm not there, please tell me about it! I hate finding piles of unidentified cash tucked in random drawers. Unless you are secretly running a money laundering operation.

    Thank you

    Dear Male Co-Worker,

    I realize you have been off work for several weeks, but now that you're back I really don't need to hear about the chemical dependencies you have now - especially from 3 offices away. Oh, and when you say "I LIKE D!CK", you may want us to think you're talking about the HR guy's first name, but we all know differently.

    Sincerely,

    It's not ageism when he's the one that wants to retire, and pisses and moans about it constantly...he hates it here, and it's affecting the rest of us.

    Dear Co-worker
    I doubt that your nails grow that fast so please stop clipping them every 2 days at work. Take care of your grooming at home. Plus, you're the only guy I know who carries nail clippers around.

    (this is from when I was not freelancing from my house, but actually working in an office full time, pre-recession:)

    Dear Co-Worker,
    I'm SO sorry you seem to be obsessed w/ the emergency snacks that I keep (out of sight) in a drawer at my desk...
    but when you come all the way over to my desk and are too lazy to go get your own snacks or keep some at your desk,
    what exactly do you mean by, 'Your problem is that you keep food at your desk" ?

    I don't have a problem w/ food at my desk. My actual problem is that you keep criticizing AND wanting to eat the food at my desk.

    You can either have some of my food or criticize it, but don't do BOTH! :noway: :explode:

    Sincerely,
    Your Co-Worker

    - - - -

    PS: I never forced my emergency snack food on anyone - it's just funny that people wanted my snack food once they knew about it, but they also complained about it. WTF? They weren't emergency cupcakes, they were emergency granola bars , nuts or rice crackers, etc.

    Dear Co-Worker

    Could you PLEASE stop speaking so loudly? I can hear you over my phone call AND my stereo. Your voice grates on my nerves. Also, please stop complaining about your financial issues. WE ALL HAVE THEM! we are in a recession. And if you managed your funds better you could afford to eat out instead of mooching off everyone else who PAYS for their food. One last thing, you really can't sing that well. I know you think you can, but honestly, you can't. So please stop singing every song that you hear on the radio!

    Sincerely,
    Fed up and frustrated!!

    Dear Co-Workers,

    You are all incredibly smart and interesting people. Despite the days that work just is, well, work, you guys are all great to work with and I have learned so much from all of you. There is even someone who makes sure the coffee is made before I get into my office each morning.

    Thank you.

    Dear co-workers,

    This is not choir, marching band or any other type of rhythm, sound or percussion related activity. Whistling the same tune, snapping fingers and marching around in general are not appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Dear Co-worker:

    I get that this is not your "dream" job. But don't slack on stuff and tell me you're too busy when I watch you walk past my desk every hour to go in the breakroom and make tea, and while you're in there you gab for 20mins. Also, don't say you want to change your hours from 8-4 to 7:30-3:30 and than come in and eat breakfast for 30mins on the clock and take an hour lunch. And while I'm at it, thanks for f-ing up my whole job while I was out for surgery when I made it dumby proof and when I ask you what happened you just shrug and go i don't know. Women!!! You know what you did!!!! And it takes me 10days to clean up your mess...... :mad: :explode: :angry:

    Love;

    LOL. I work with one of those, too. He's super passive aggressive and loves to act like whatever he is doing is more important than what anyone else is doing. Oh, and he's a killjoy, too. God forbid anyone in the office be having fun. If you do, that calls for his door to be slammed rather than just being closed. Sucks to be that miserable, I'm sure.

    Dear Co-Worker,

    Just because we work in an office of all men doesn't mean it's ok to cuss & swear like a longshoreman everytime you open your mouth. Today you used the f word more times before 9:00 am than I've used it in the last year. Everyone else communicates professionally, why can't YOU?
