Nauseating Coworkers

Nothing makes me more mad than people who don’t do their jobs. I can’t stand it!

• No Phone Zone

If your phone consumes your life, you have a problem. You should be able to set your phone down for a few hours to do your job. For instance, when appetizers come up in the window, there will be five people standing around on their phones not doing anything, this is frustrating because everyone else is running their food while they are locked in on their phones. Please, for the love of my sanity, put your phone away and run your own food if you have time.

• No Drama Llama

People who start drama in the workplace deserve the loser award. For instance, my work was doing a competition on upselling items on the menu, upselling is trying to get people to order extra things on their entree. When the “Queen of upselling” was bragging about herself, I jokingly said, “(insert name here) I think I might have you beat tonight.” She then turned around and said, “It’s because I have been running all your (beep) food tonight.” Come to find out, she was training one of my friends that night and she never ran a single item for me.

• Terrible Toxicity

Leave your baggage at the door. Enough said. I am an 18 year old girl and there is no reason a 20 year old should be extremely rude to me for no reason. I understand seniority, but you don’t have to be mean about it. “Go get ice..go change coke..go run apps.” I’m sorry can I get a PLEASE? Treat everyone with respect and you will get the same back. The amount of times I’ve cried to management about this person is off the charts.

Moral of the story, just be kind to the people you work with, you never know what is going on and maybe try having a heart to heart. When I tried, it did not go over well but I’m hopeful for you!
