Have you ever had REALLY good co-workers?

Most of mine have been crappy, but there were a few who stood out to me, ones who I kept up with even when work ended.

I had one that would almost make me upset working so hard. She was an older lady. She came to work one time with her foot in a boot. I forgot how she got hurt but she was in Soo much pain, she was crying. I was like GO HOME, she was like " I don't want y'all to be short staffed".

She was awesome though. I loved when we were sheduled to work together. I knew I'd have no issues that day cause we worked really well together

Yes. Almost everywhere I have been.

The best was at a job where we had a narcissist boss. We had a text group that we started six years ago and we still chat together as of this day.

I have a few I've worked with almost a decade and a half. We've basically 'grown up' in our adulthoods together.

Old people as colleagues are the best. I have one manager who hands me her entire jar of candy and drags me into her office when I get a certain look on my face. I think i’d have gone completely insane without her tbh.

@Elessar no even then as long as they are willing to listen and it kinda seems like they’re more willing than young people these days

@LAlexV I've no idea where you can find old people like that, but nice to hear lol. Here the situation is diametrically the opposite.

@LAlexV that reminds me of my last manager. If she saw us having a hard time, she'd pass out candy or be like " it's chocolate o'clock!"

I was the good co-worker, everyone was always happy when they called me in. But now I only get "crappy" (beyond belief) co-workers constantly making issues out of non-issues and causing problems.

Yes. I once got hired into a bunch of drama between one group of employees and another. The woman who trained me made sure it didn't extend to me.

Yes, I've had some REALLY good co-workers. A few of them, have become friends that I've not lost contact with.

Yes, the previous place I worked, they were fabulous, for 6 years we worked together, I'd have paid them just to work there! I've not worked there now for 5 years ... and they still invite me, (not anyone else) out with them for nights out.

Which was why it was such a shock to encounter the problems I did in my present job.. it was truly vile!

People definitely make a job bearable or a torture!

@Adaydreambeliever oh that's so nice. I hope I get decent people like that one day. And yes, coworkers make or break the job
Yes, I have had few good co-workers.
And I have tried my best to be one of them.

That woman sounded sweet. Do you still talk?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@SW-User she really was. Not anymore. 😩
