i can't stand it when a colleague has a complaint about the work of another and he or she doesn't address the issue but enjoys bitching about it to all the staff. what's the point actually? to earn points through your martyrdom? like you've never made a mistake in your life? forgive me, but i thought the most important thing would be to solve the bloody problem and bring it to the attention of said staff's manager so action can be taken to prevent future mistakes.
but nooOOOooo.... they have to go on and on and on and on about it. declaring to the whole factory floor that the 'people upstairs' (like there's a stigma attached to it now - apparently we are quite stupid). there's this manager in my company whose attitude i abhor. i'd rather listen to roof shattering heavy metal music then her voice. it grates on me. like someone tying me up and forcing me to listen to the screech of running a fork across a blackboard. i'd rather eat live worms.
i think her sole joy in her career is to wait patiently while one of the members of the 'upstairs club' (i think she resents the fact that we have cushy sit-down jobs in and air-conditioned room while she doesn't) makes a mistake or forgets something. then she pounces. and the whole company (including the surrounding housing estate) can hear her screeching about our stupidity (of course not through obvious accusations - she's too sly for that). it's always masked under a very martyred expressions, and it's carefully worded to avoid accusing that person directly. hence the accusation at the whole 'club'. but a bird with half a brain knows what she's on about. good grief. just have a decent conversation about it, how the bloody difficult is that???!! i am so put off by her that i can't stay at my desk while listening to her rant and rant at the top of her voice. to no one in particular, but making sure everyone knows that she has to do double work and stay back late to correct this mistake.
some people really have to get a life. or seek other modes of padding their self-worth and self-image.
