Coworkers and Work: Thanks Pam, FU too

Thanks Pam, FU too

By BossesLittleBrat - 25/09/2016 12:47 - United States - Jamestown

Today, my brat of a coworker tried to convince our boss that I should get paid half of what I'm making because I broke my right arm. I'm left-handed, broke it on the job, and still doing a better job than her. She makes double what I do. FML

Today, I found out that the airhead sitting next to me at work who can't get anything done on her own, makes more money than I do. FML

Meritocracy

Today, after six months of doing the job of 2 people, because all my coworker does is sleep and sit down with her phone, I told my boss that I can't be doing my coworker's job and getting the same salary as her. My boss added just $10 to my salary and told me to let her carry on doing nothing, while I still do the work of 2 people. FML

Today, my left-handed boss needed PC help. I said "right-click for the menu." She said nothing happened. Three times we went through this. Eventually I went over, asking her to show me what she did. She was using her right hand on the left mouse button. She earns £10,000 more than me. FML

Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Today, I found out someone doing the exact same job as me at work is making $900 more than me on their paycheck. The only reason is because when he messes up, he blames it on me. FML

Today, I found out that one of my subordinates, who is whiny, incompetent, undermining, the definition of passive-aggressive and stupid, was given a pay raise. She now makes more than me. My boss values a complete moron over me. FML

Today, my co-worker threw a rubber mallet at my face, and I broke my finger in the process of saving my face. She then told me to "take it up with HR, bitch". She's the HR manager. FML

Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML

Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML

Talk to your boss on your behalf. Don't let them just screw you over you like that!

That's a tricky situation. You might as well fight her with one arm behind your back.

that's an HR issue... you're being harassed and they're openly discussing your pay. could be a lawsuit OP

Since she brought up wages, maybe you should point out to the boss about your skill level versus hers. She can't complain. Don't even ask for a raise. Just ask that her pay scale matches yours.

I'm not sorry to say YDI. If you are ok with people treating you like shit, people will treat you like shit. Sue the workplace for the injury, get a new and better paying job where you're appreciated.

You're acting as if this has happened many times before and OP has just put up with it this entire time

Because it's sooo easy to just get another job. I agree that in light of this bitch's comment, OP should consider looking for another job, but it may not be easy to find another job in her field. Not to mention she might want to wait until her arm heals.

The plight of working at a strip club. Break your arm falling from the pole one time and the other dancers swoop in like vultures.

There's a saying, treat people the way you want to be treated. I would give it right back. Don't put up with how she treats you.

Seriously if you make LITERALLY half of what your coworker makes at the same job you should have done something about that

sounds like the co-worker is VERY insecure. Just do the awesome job you have been doing, and happily. Makes her look more inefficient. That thought often makes it worthwhile

Given the title... Is the best related to the boss, possibly their daughter? Because that would explain both he wage gap and the coworker being arrogant and deluded enough to say that.
