of bitching, lying and resigning

We welcomed a new addition to our team 2 months ago.

The moment we sat down to have breakfast with her on her very 1st day, she had started bitching about the boss. She used to work with her long long time ago...

Imagine our surprise when she started to reveal stories bout the boss... gosh!

Her 2nd day, she bragged during lunch how she scolded the boss earlier for not being specific about something. She repeated the story around 4 times!

Soon after she started to dig stories about all of us... Maybe it was just her nature to get to know a person that way... I dunno...

Then we started hearing stories about her passing remarks about us...
... how she doesn't report to any one of us (coz she's more senior) so we should not instruct her to do anything (hello... we didn't 'instruct', we asked politely!)
... how she doesn't fancy her current roommate at the office
... how one of us is a bimbo coz she's an ex-stewardess
... how some of us are bossy
... how one of us is very tardy
... and many more

What makes it worse is that she can just walk into the bosses room and close the door behind them. It makes us wonder what transpires behind the closed door.

There was this one time when she left the room, she went to one of us and told her that how she rat on one of us.

REALLY!!!

Everything was fine and dandy before she came to the company.....

So, after all the above, it was just natural for us to avoid her totally. We tried our best not to get in her way during work... We avoided her during lunch...

Then you know what happened?

She went to the boss and told her that she felt sidelined by the team...

Just like a school kid!

To make the long story short, we decided to have a thrash out session with her. To confront her once and for all coz all these while we had just avoided the confrontation.

And you know what she did?

She lied through out the whole session! She twisted all the stories over and over that at the end of the day it all just doesn't jive. She even had the guts to say that one of us is the culprit for everything... That one of us was the one who created the whole tale!

OMG... How twisted can she be man...

We were nice enough not to shoot her down there and then. We just let her continue with her lies and let her go off thinking that everything was settled. She even said that after this she hopeto work together with all of us. We just ok'ed it.

That was last Friday.

And suddenly on Monday, she came to work all teary-eyed and handed in her resignation letter!

wtf laa kan...

I mean, if you tak buat salah, like you claimed to be, then why are you resigning?

Seriously!

Of course Mdm Boss did not accept her resignation laa kan... Instead she gave her a one week off to think things through....

Gosh... I seriously hope all this drama will end soon so that we can go back to normal. I seriously hate the office politics... I hate all the bitching and lying that has been going around for the last 2 months. It is really taking the toll on me.

Maybe she'll go ahead and resign.

Maybe then we can get back to the piling work!
