Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year
Yesterday my nemesis (woman I’ve never met and whose face I’ve never seen) sent my office an email so rude, basically saying we had fucked up every project she ever ordered from us, one of the worst emails I’ve ever read in my life.
And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.
This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.
I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.
After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.
It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.
once had a senior dev (who worked remotely, 100% of our team's communications with him were over slack) who was of a particularly frequent kind of guy you get in tech sectors who i can only describe as "knows they're very smart and thus thinks everyone else must be an idiot." and he was very smart. tech smart. zero interpersonal skills whatsoever. willfully misunderstanding other people on our team just constantly because if they suggested something he hadn't thought of or god forbid something he didn't like the idea of he'd just write it off entirely and continue talking down to everyone until his idea got implemented.
anyway our whole team got stuck doing crunch overtime one sprint and i got the back luck of getting stuck working with this guy. literally well over an hour of back-and-forth on a ticket because i was trying to explain to him why i was 90% sure the error was occurring and he was just like "no im telling you i wrote that code 15 years ago i know how it works and thats not the issue" despite the fact that there had obviously been 15 years of updates done to the code since then and he wasn't even looking at it, he was just relying on his memory. i finally FINALLY got him to lock in and understand the point i was trying to make at which point he finally agreed and i said "okay, i'm pushing my branch now so that you [as the senior dev] can do the code review on it" and before i can even actually push it he replied "REJECTED!!!!! lol. just kidding send it over"
so i pushed the branch up and then tabbed over to DMs with my project manager and very calmly texted her "[PM] i'm going on a 20-minute break now to grab a snack and take a breath because if i don't go on break right now i'm going to get on a plane, fly to california, and i'm gonna kill [senior dev]" and she just replied yep i understand go take a break
