Why must every workplace have one? My department is full of nice people and I get along with everyone. Except for one.
The new admin has been really testing my nerves and this week was the last straw. So far, she had been doing stuff that I could sort of dismiss. "She's new, she'll get the hang of it eventually, it's a new system for her, etc." But she did some stuff this week that can't be ignored. Like, she had promised to cover reception, but then went home sick and didn't tell the receptionist that she had left. That's not cool, leaving someone in a lurch. I suppose you could argue that she was sick and wasn't thinking straight, but still, it makes her look unreliable.
But the biggie was today. So, today was moving day. My entire department had to pack up their stuff so we could be moved to the other side of the building. Much to my surprise, the new admin went home sick again, before packing up her stuff. I was in training all morning so I have no way of knowing when our moving bins arrived, but even if she left before the bins showed up, the least she could have done was organize her things. You know, put her files and whatnot in neat piles and throw out the crap she didn't need. Nope. Her desk was a mess and I was stuck packing it all. I ended up just grabbing it all and putting them in the bins, no order what-so-ever. If she's mad on Monday that her stuff is a mess, it's her own fault. It's not like we were told the morning of that we were moving. She could have done a few minor things before she left. Annoyingly, she didn't even send me an e-mail telling me she was going home. She eventually did send one, but, like, four hours after she left. And she didn't even say she was sorry that she left in a hurry and didn't organize her things. Jeez. If this was me, I would have said sorry at the very least.
And I'm not the only one who's noticed. My manager did not look happy today. I really don't want to get the girl fired, but she cannot keep doing this. She cannot expect people to constantly pick up after her. Poor choices result in poor consequences.
