Work Sabotage

[mystkev]

I am sure we talked about this before, but I don't know where.

Have you ever been sabotaged by your coworkers?

What did they do to sabotage you?

And

What did you do to circumvent what they were doing?

[Melotic]

Yes, we have... There are alot of jealous people out there... That's why I always back up my work on my own personal computer and laptop... I haven't caught anyone, yet... But, sometimes I will save a fake estimate, to see if something changes...

[que90nek]

not per se.

i always used to keep an additional copy of the code i produced....

a. so i could use it again
b. so that i could check it against what was out there...make sure that folks aren't messin with it.

I don't have any co-workers.......

Tee you are lucky.

You know they were trying to promote me right.

Well one of the ladies here went to the AP Manager and said that I don't like to do work that's not my own and that I'm on the internet all the time (now this is partly true, so I can understand that).

Anyway the AP Manager didn't mention the internet to me, but she did mention the first part. And you know I was like wtf??? Since when? I just let her know that I've had my own problems over here, and that if she wanted to know about my work ethic she should speak to my prior boss. She let me know she didn't believe the lady anyway. It just so happens that it is known that this woman is a shit starter.

But I know that if I were dealing w/nonblack people and people who didn't know about this lady that what she said could have jeopardized me getting this job. My previous manager talked to her and let her know that I've done any and everything he's asked me to do w/o complaint. He also talked to me and said just to watch myself and make sure I limit the internet to my lunch hour and I'd be fine.

Folks already told me don't talk to anybody in this new department cause some of them are shady too.

Years ago.

I was a supervisor for Teletech (UPS customer service). It was my day off and I went in to get my paycheck and then me and my fiance'(at the time) were going away for the weekend.

When I got there I found ALL the paychecks for my team lying on my desk. I went to payroll and they told me that my asst supv Christina had picked them up. I wanted to leave them with payroll but they wouldn't take them back. I told them I had to leave the building and I had paged Christina repeatedly with no answer.

They told me "give them to someone you trust" until Christina gets back.

So I had an older woman (mid 60's) on my team whom I trusted and I put the paychecks in her desk drawer, locked it, and put the key on Christina's desk. The woman knew the checks were there but had no access to them.

Then I called Christina again...she finally answered. And I told her where the checks and the key was.

I left and went on about my business.

As required, I called and checked in with Christina several times throughout the day making sure everything was all right with the team etc.

That afternoon about 4pm my pager goes off with an urgent call from my supervisor telling me that NO ONE can find the paychecks. The employees are livid, and payroll is telling him I had the checks last.

So I called and told him where the key was etc etc.

Christina is playing dumb and SWEARS she has not talked to me all day and had no idea what happened to the checks.

Crazy ass trick.

Thankfully I had payroll, and the woman with the checks to back me up that Christina not only signed for the checks originally, but she left them out in the open, and she knew where they were all along.

Damn Tastey, did you have a meeting in the ladies room with Christina when you got back?

[Pamalicious]

sista came aboard and decided she could do my job 'better' than me and told her boss - they took 50% of my job and gave it to her - meanwhile she smiling and grinning in my face - fast forward to now - if she comes in my cube on mo gen taking about how difficult it is to work with and how she is not going to take and what is she the 'calendar' girl and so and so and this and that - she doesn't know I know she went in there trying to sabatoge me - so I just grin and offer up NO HINTS!!!!!
