My boss has employed his Girlfriend (she is the one who got a car from her ex, unlimited credit card from another ex., she’s spent her whole life getting free-bees from men)
He says she needs a break (Give me a break ) and wants me to teach her. I feel like walking out but it's difficult finding a 9 to 3 well paid school hours job.
I don't respect her and this whole situation. I am reluctant to teach her as I think she's using him and based on her merits she doesn’t deserve to be there.
She spent a day with me so far and I’ve come to the conclusion that when it comes down to working for a living she’s hopeless.
She tried so hard to be nice (fake fake fake fake fake) to me but every time she tried to start a conversation I cut it short with only yes and no answers.
I even told her that I can’t give her too much to do because she doesn’t know anything (I was only being honest)
I think I’ll be talking to him tomorrow - this sucks!

Sounds pretty bitchy to me.

I know and it's so not me. I feel extremely emotional and I can't control my self - I feel like shaking him. They probably deserve each other. It's just not me scene.

In truth I've been in similar work situations and it can be very frustrating, but I think you should hold off on saying anything.

You should at least give her a chance to prove she's useless!!

I asked her to file some quotes and she put them all under M - when I realised what she had done I said why did you just put all those quotes under "M" and she said they were all for the Mr's

Come on now you're making that up
You have a right to be pissed and you're not a bitch. Women like her make difficult for other women who want to get ahead by honest, hard work.
Check your tone though. Mr Boss Man will find a reason to fire you if you're mean to his lil hoochie

chocolatehandles said:

No way!

I know it's hard to believe but I didn't make that up! It frustrated me like hell, but now thinking about it

He may have to fire me because I'm finding it difficult to be nice to her.
I can't pretend and I'm not going to act like it's all ok when it isn't.

I'd say kill her with kindness. She obviously knows how to push your buttons. Don't run. Stand your ground and beat her at her own game. It's won't be easy but you can do it. I've learned in life and at work you have to make a game of things. If you stand your ground and do the right thing you'll watch her break down and get what she deserves. Give her enough rope and she'll hang herself. And you wont have to life a finger.

also, she needs you more than you need her. You have the answers. She will always have to come to you for instructions, Use it to your advantage. And whatever you do.... always be a woman first. Don't be a bitch. Be a woman.

Thanks I'll try - I think I'll get her to prepare some reports for him tomorrow that might be fun!

do you actually need help in the office? do you feel like he is going to replace you? maybe you should have a chat with your boss to find out what his expectations of the situation are in the long-term.

We had that talk last week and he said that he wants to help her out so that she gets a bit of office experience to enale her to get a job as prior to this she was a something like a PA for an old rich guy

chocolatehandles said:

she sounds like a great addition to any work place. just stick it out.

is PA like Piece of Ass? lol

I know I am the unofficial Office Bitch. But I just get easily frustrated with idiocy. I have to much work to do to deal with folk that want to do their job all half assed and got me doing their shit and my shit too. And I damn well ain't paid enough to deal with all the shit.

In fact I'm truly about to type a letter of resignation and just bounce because I am sick and tired of the drama and the bullshit. Some bitch jumped in my ass today and she was lucky because I truly thought she was being a crazy bitch. next bitch might not be so lucky....

This sounds just like that episode of "What's Happening" when Rob hires another waitress to help out Shirley but all she could do was break dishes. Then it turns out that she was Rob's girlfriend. Just convince your boss to do what they did on the show....get married and let her be a stay at home housewife.

That bitch is crazy!

Give her a task in which you know she's going to doing something stupid. Then set her up to do it front of your boss. If that doesn't work, then let her seriously fuck something up that might cost him money.

I no longer work for anyone else but my last job (10 yrs ago). I was a senior designer and my married boss hired his girl friend to be MY assistant and he wanted me to make her a designer. How am I to do that?

She had trouble taking direction and so one day she tells me that my boss hired her not me. So I told her that she needed to go work with him not with me. LOL.

Men, sometimes their dicks control their brains.

That aint bitchy. Being a bitch is without reason!

chocolatehandles said:

Stop taking it personal...you really don't have to do anything to prove she's dumb. If she's that useless, she will make an ass out of herself - all by herself.

missfee said:

That's how I actually feel.

I think I would one-up the game and make friends with her dumb ass.

-How come you know so much about your boss' girlfriend's past?

-Are you or have you ever been in love/lust/want with your boss?

-That's life. People you don't think deserve jobs get hired for them and sometimes you have to teach them. It's not your place to sabotage their path in life because you think they're getting freebies.
If it's your job to teach her that is what you should do.

johnart said:

No nothing going on with the boss - he told, confided in me when they first met about how she's lived her life - with me it's about ethics and respect.
I don't respect her ways.

I resent her being there as I know she's using him., she is extremely transparent.

I think there would be more deserving candidates for the job than her and it's now been three days and she's not suitable for office work.

Positive things about her are that she dresses well and she’s got nice nails.

Today I told her she looked nice and then she spent 10 minutes telling me how much everything cost.

i'd be careful about setting her up to fail. in fact, i'd probably go out of my way to make sure she succeeds. if anything goes wrong, he's going to blame you, not her.

chocolatehandles said:

First off, IMO I'd say your boss cross a line by telling you personal stuff about her. Big time.
My hubby is friends with his boss (I'm my own boss I don't count ) but his boss doesn't tell him personal stuff about how his wife has lived her life.

It's not your business, and I don't mean that as in you're being nosy, I mean it as in it's not something he should be sharing in the workplace.

I would not advice that you try to go against the boss' "kitty" supply. It could turn out to be a losing situation. If she's really not equipped for the job it will show on its own. Just keep him abreast (no pun) of the progress or lack thereof in a professional manner, as you would with any other person you would be training. Not paying special attention to whether she deserves or not to be there.

How about do your job and mind your business. Setting people up is an invitation to get set up. Whats all the resentment about? If you get busy w/ your plans for your life youll see how insignificant the whole lot of em are to you.
