Here We Go

18 Aug

After G’ma Moses told the office manager that she would be in to work today on Friday, she was a no call no show to work.  Both of her phone numbers are disconnected, and the hospital confirmed that she was released on Friday.  I called her daughter-in-law, another district employee, and she agreed to go over to her house to tell her she needed to call work in the morning.  Said daughter-in-law stated that she still had numbness in her right side but had been released from the doctor.

Within the first hour of meeting her last week, she insulted the principal, told me she was overworked, and stated that she had no idea how she was going to get her to do list done in one week.  Needless to say, I am the one completing her to do list and my own tasks this week and still had time to help with other opening of school tasks in the main office today.  I have already been told that she is lazy and incompetent and that my objective for the year is to force her to retire, to transfer, or to quit.  I will be on the phone with Employee Management Relations first thing in the morning to set the wheels in motion.  In her previous disciplinary conference, G’Ma Moses was given no less than 15 directives.

Welcome to the 2008-09 school year. The bitch is back and here to stay.

    How, how HOW to people like this keep getting away with being total fuck ups at work? Her kind of laziness infuriates me. Not only does it make more work for everyone else but it really diminishes the consideration for people who have real illnesses. Actually, the people I know who have had real illnesses have done everything in their power not to call in or leave work early.

    Rupe thinks you need to gather up her stuff:

    - Her wheelchair
    - Her yellow pad of excuses
    - Her unused and empty containers of medication
    - Her greasy bag of whatever-was-in-it that remains in the employee lounge
    - Her “Greatest Grandma Ever!” resin statue
    - Her name plaque
    - Her “The Buck Stops At My Desk” To Do List

    Round file’em. Harshly.

    Leave a note: “Buh-Bye, G’ma ‘Compitant”

    End of story.

    “Buh-Bye” G’ma Moses is right! Can I bring you in to eliminate some dead weight in my life too?
    I am sorry you have more work to do though, isn’t that always the case?!?!?!?!?

    Ugh. I keep picturing her G’ma looking like either Betty White or Clara Peller, the “Where’s the Beef” lady. Either way, she’s a horrible slacker and I do not envy you with this one.

    Sometimes you really need to wonder how people like that have managed to get as far as they have in life acting that way. I work with a woman who pull some stupid shit at times as well, so I feel your pain.

    It’s always good to have a mission to focus on at the beginning of the year.

    That sucks, what a way to start out the year!

    Ugh! I’m sorry the change that should have been positive is starting out on a sour note. Hopefully, you can drive the Cryptkeeper out quickly and get someone competent!
