The Wednesday Gripe - 08/04/10

[Refugee 7]

Okay, let’s hear it. What’s your gripe today?

No gripes here...well, maybe I am a little tired but that's okay.

I wish my boss would take the chip off of his shoulder for one of my co-workers. He's constantly nagging her and it makes for a very tense workplace some days. The man is just a bully sometimes. He seems to prey on the weak. He doesn't bother me too often because I'll give it back to him but I hate seeing him do it to others.

I can't sleep! (I NEVER have trouble sleeping!)

Tonight is Dylan night for me, so no gripes. I hope the kids hold the fort down for old mom!

Scratch my last post - I just shot a canvas staple into my palm - Ouch!

My gripe is it's so Freakin' HOT..yesterday, Memphis had a record index of 125!!! I need to go to the store today and I just dread it in this heat!

my right shoulder/neck hurts for some reason, no big thing but I have a tournament to do this weekend and don't need the ouchy as I work.

If you recognize it as a personality issue, chances are that others will, too. He's going to lose the respect of his employees. I've seen managers do this kind of thing to force employees to quit. I've also seen managers confuse agression with management style, usually because they don't know how to manage people. Bullying is demotivating; it effects the productivity; it also creates higher employee turnover, which has training costs and can have quality control issues. If it's a big problem, you might want to say something.

I don't have any gripes today. My daughter is with her dad this week. I'm enjoying being single.

seems like i haven't slept well in over a week. I'm always tired and overwhelmed these days.

My BF's ex is being an ABSOLUTE C**T!!! (sorry that special word is reserved for a choice few). What an angry, jealous, bitter woman that cannot let the trivial things go and let everyone enjoy life. We did have a nice afternoon & dinner with his kids though...so it is all good for the most part.

Same story here. I hope you feel better.

I'm STILL having frequent headaches. This is the summer of headaches for me. I'm going to the allergist on Friday, so we'll see what they say.
