I'm not sure how many of you know me personally but I'm highly obsessed with the shameful Bad Girls Club reality show.
I'm so obsessed that my mind subconsciously transforms all of our office drama into some dramatic replay of an episode of BGC but in office form with less offensive outbursts but yes...
So one of our new employees is considered a "replacement" in the BGC world lingo of course. So I'm convinced she's a cool person but she just is reluctant to socialize with the rest of us for whatever reason. Now, I haven't mentioned work in a while because I've come to terms with everyone in this bitch. Ive trained myself to get over my pet peeves if the situation does not pose any threat to my well-being, income, or family...but I must blog about this. My fingers cannot resist the urge.
So new girl is going through her "initiation" stage I guess and everyone is being bitchy to her...making her do weird shit like stock and restock and then unstack to recount little shit. Or running errands for everyone or sitting out in the front while everyone else is in another room with the door closed talking about her. My office space isn't big at all so I'm quite sure she hears 89.7% of everything said behind this particular door. Everyone takes pleasure in watching her slave away and get scolded and ridiculed for a bunch of silly shit. They even make her look and feel stupid enough where the poor lady is in tears. Now, I am very honest for the most part and I initially took part but only by including my 2 cents behind the particular door which seems to always be closed. I felt bad and I apologized to ol' girl behind the backs of my coworkers. The more I encourage my fellow staff to chill with the criticism, the more they think her failures are hilariously ridiculous. I feel terrible because I know that I'm probably guilty by association. I like the new girl though. She's completely different after work. Very talkative and easy to joke with...and her daughter is so energetic and gets along great with my girls but as soon as we're back in a work environment, she always looks like she's on the edge of bursting into tears. I wish I could figure out a way to solve this because I hate watching my boss give her meaningless, tedious work; watching her complete the task over hours of time and then telling her she was completely wrong and needs to redo everything...that's fucked up...all the way up. On BGC, they usually have one girl with a soul and she convinces the rest of the crew to let up a lil bit but only after they already jump her...
We wont be doing that though, I'm sure. Quite certain that she won't get jumped physically. But metaphorically? Oh, yes, very likely for some pouncing to take place.
I want no part in it. At least not until it's over...I'll be like the peace-maker though.
New girl is cool...so are the originals though...and of course there's me:The Ultimate Coolest Original lol just kidding...kinda...ok so yes. At this point, because I know both sides (almost like Rema from BGC: Mexico), I'm a little in the middle... Where's a camera crew and a confessional room when you need it??
Can I get a AMEN??!!
