These 23 People Had Coworkers From Hell

Currently still a nightmare, CC’s the entire office including multiple owners of the company when she corrects something I’ve done. My office is about 10ft from hers. Every time she does it I just think why cant you walk 10ft and come tell me or address the issue with me. Usually it’s something small or extremely irrelevant. But now I just correct her or show her that it’s not wrong at all and press “reply all” so they can see it.

Work in an office. Have a colleague who is literally the world’s worst diabetic. I’m fairly certain she has munchausens. Her eyes are going and she has problems with her feet. She makes a huge deal about making sure everyone sees her take her insulin and then eats a whole giant bag of haribo, 5 bags of crisps and half a cake. It’s ridiculous, we keep having to ring ambulances for her because she’s eaten too much sugar. She’s nearly killed herself at least twice as a result.

This lady in a different department has been here for 30 years and thinks the department I work in shouldn’t exist. Thus, she makes it her life’s mission to fuck up our work at every twist and turn. She has contact with many of our clients and will deliberately sabotage events we have planned for them. She refuses to do stuff that is part of her job description and forces us to do it. She gossips all the time and I’ve discovered on numerous occasions that I’m either gay, a fascist, a liar, a womanizer or just plain incompetent. For the record, I’m none of these things. The only reason she’s still around is she’s best friends with the boss, and so not only is her job protected but crossing her means a call into the bosses office. She’s a nightmare and everyone but the boss wants her gone.

I had a co-worker loose his marbles, started texting me all sorts of weird stuff and wanted to do some sort of murder suicide pact after he walked out in the middle of the day without saying a word. I was the only person on my team he did this to. Cops and corporate secuirty teams got involved. My team was told to leave the building and work from home for a while. I still work from home. I guess it worked out pretty well for me in the long run.
