You can’t make this stuff up: Strange but true co-worker complaints
By Special Contributor on Aug 12, 2009 in Featured, News and trends, Surveys
I have to admit, I got pretty lucky in the co-worker department. It’s rare that I have any major complaints about them, I count a few among my best friends, and I sit one row away from my sister Mary, who writes for our sister blog The Hiring Site. (There’s a rumor going around we are the same person, but we’re really not. Ask our parents.)
Don’t get me wrong, I have had some unpleasant experiences in former jobs, too. I can totally relate to the latest survey CareerBuilder released bringing a little levity to the workplace during this current stressful employment environment. More than 2,600 hiring managers participated in the nationwide survey, citing examples of the oddest complaints they received from employees.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Employee is too sun-tanned.
- Employee has big hair.
- Employee eats all the good cookies.
- Employee is so polite, it’s infuriating.
- Employee suspected co-worker is a pimp.
- Employee is trying to poison me.
- Employee’s body is magnetic and keeps de-activating my magnetic access card.
- Employee is personally responsible for a federally-mandated tax increase.
- Employee was annoyed the company didn’t provide a place for naps during break time.
- Employee only wears slippers or socks at work.
- Employee’s aura is wrong.
- Employee smells like road ramps.
- Employee breathes too loudly.
- Employee wants to check a co-worker for ticks.
- 8 a.m. is too early to get up for work.
- Employee wore pajamas to work.
- Employee has bells on her shoes and it’s not the holidays.
- Co-worker reminded the employee too much of Bambi.
- Employee spends too much time caring for stray cats around the building.
- A male employee keeps using the ladies’ room because the men’s room is not as tidy.
