Meh, you need to find another job or move internally away from both her and the morons who let her do this. (The bosses are the real problem, not her. A decent manager would spot her before she even started up this crap.)

If you want to just be done with it all, have some fun and go to the exec's office yourself and ask them why they let the most unproductive team member destroy the team. She is obviously a disaster, and they have already lost good people because of her. How many more have to lose their job before they address their management problem, which is her? If you opt for this, just have your office belongings in a state where you don't care if they escort you out the door right then, without any chance to go back.

I agree with this, if you are going to quit because of shitty bosses causing this then at least point out what really happened. Who knows, it might wake someone up. It will at least make them uncomfortable because they have to at least suspect or admit the possibility that the whole time the woman was the problem. Before you fully commit take some of your stuff home before it goes down. If you do quit in a ball of fire it will be a spectacle and might get attention.

i like the integrity of doing that, but it wont get you anywhere, if the bosses are too stupid to run things right then why help them. Just jump ship and let them burn.

Agreed. When the bosses are this clueless there is no use in even trying to wake them up.

They hired their Tumblina; now they will have to live with her.

I work with several small businesses who are software customers of mine and I frequently see how things run when I visit their office.

One company in particular is run by an old man and his wife. They somehow over the years acquired not 1, but 2 tumblr whales. They come into work and look at Facebook with 50% of their time. The owners don't want to fire them because they will have a meeting instead and productivity goes up for a few days before plummeting back to normal. These 2 fat tumblr bitches whine and complain about everything. Nothing is good enough for them, and they hate that they have to work for a living (if you can call what they do "work"). The company is slowly burning and all I can do is prepare myself to lose them as a customer when they inevitably go under.

they probably thought during her interview:

[–]tb87670 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

The point isn't to get you anywhere, he is theoretically quitting anyway. Go out in a fire and at least make her look worse, you wouldn't be losing anything worse since quitting anyway. And yes letting them live with the bitch is a punishment, sure, but they won't know it and will think they are PC and pat themselves on the back for her shit.

I don't know why your comment about integrity made me remember this story:

A bunch of us got laid off a while back and I was in Hawaii when it happened. Nobody called me, I just couldn't get into my email one morning, and Coworkers were texting me shitfaced at the bar that it was a disaster and that Karen from HR was going to call me to "break the news."

Nobody called me.

My Dad told me that what I was going to do was stroll into the office Monday morning with a Hawaiian shirt on, hand some lei's out, and make them fucking fire me to my fucking face.

I'll always remember it. It was amazing. I was trolling hard, sure, but I did it for me. I started my own business 4 months later because I didn't want to work for someone again.

I wonder what my life would be like now, 5 years later, if I hadn't gotten fired. What if I was one of the "lucky ones" that they kept and "promoted?"

Do your thing. Always.

Have you considered that you are all just collateral damage?

She might be a protected class in the workplace. Maybe she's the CEO's niece. Maybe she has some of disability where firing her would invite a lawsuit.

Have you considered the execs might have wanted your project to fail so they could fire her? Of course they would have to fire all 7 of you so it wouldn't seem like they were singling her out. It happens all the time in corporate America. But she perhaps she outwitted them and blew up team before they could.

Assuming this is real, this woman most likely has mentally disabilities. So yeah shes literally a protected class.

Yeah, I see that too. I work for a corporation, so I see it a lot. Just don't get it. As a 32 yr old white male, I'm not protected for shit. I see slack-asses all day, and all I get is, "do you know how hard it is to fire someone?".

To me, it should be black and white, if you're terrible at your job, you gotta go.

[–]PANTSONMIXTAPE 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Because they need a job too and it's hard to prove you fired someone for good reasons that are able bodied anyway. It's like pulling the race card except on steroids because naturally your performance isnt going to be as good unless you're in a theoretical setting

Not to be that guy, but I don't really believe this story. At the end of the day a company can not just fire half of a team. You guys have a job to do. Also how could your coworkers not vouch for any of the guys fired. Normally when I guy gets accused of being sexually suggestive, the higher ups will check with other females who also work with the person to confirm.

[–]PANTSONMIXTAPE 74ポイント75ポイント  (25子コメント)

Thats what tipped you?

Not the literal coloring book and announcing to everyone that she colored it in?


Im actually sort of worried that this is all true but OP doesnt understand this woman is actually mentally challenged. Also it sounds like hes trying to describe fibromyalgia, which is a real thing and actually sucks balls to have.

[–]The_Red_Paw 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

It is also very, very easy to fake. I was an LMP for ten years. I'd get (inevitably) fat women call for pain relief. I'd say "I learned a new technique in afferent nerve lamilation that will cure your symptoms for weeks or months at a time. Come on in, it will change your life"

A: NOBODY came for this new technique. Having fibromyalgia was critical to their victim mentality. They did not want to be cured, because they were all faking.

B: So was I. Lamilation is a made up word. There is no cure for 'victim mentality'.

True, a one side of the story thing. In his defense though it could also be one of those self diagnosed deals like "Im 400 pounds because I have pcos".

But the coloring book and systematically elliminating half the team and management doing nothing about it, just fucking bizarre. But I mean it IS Canada and I've heard the whole sjw shit is worse there. I really don't know how to call this one.

[–]PANTSONMIXTAPE 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

She probably has gout, i had it once even though i was only a buck sixty. It hurts worse when youre cold and mostly affects joints.

But the rest of the story literally reads like hes describing someone with a mental disability. Even if it is fictitious or if OP doesnt get that she has one, i find it to be in poor taste.

Anyway, if youre a protected class and you report someone for something basically what youre saying is "fix this or youll be hearing from some lawyers".

This goes double for the mentally disabled because 1. Assumed childish innocence (which is sometimes bullshit honestly, a lot of mentally handicapped people i worked with while volunteering know may know a lot more than they let on. Not a majority of the time but a significant minority.) 2. Literally as protected class as you can get. Youre the best PR in the world for whatever company hires you

Anyway, if youre a protected class and you report someone for something basically what youre saying is "fix this or youll be hearing from some lawyers".

Which is one (of many) reasons there should be no "protected classes". Unemployment among the disabled actually went up after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Why? Because now such people are a protected class and if you hire them you may find it very difficult (and expensive) to fire them.

I'm a paramedic and it sounds like fibromyalgia. Like someone mentioned before, it's when a patient has a chronic complaint of pain without a diagnosable reason. It's usually treated with psych meds and I've never met a patient that's had it and not had a mental health diagnosis.

"Adult coloring" is actually a thing. They make books specifically for adults now with more detailed lines. I've seen a Game of Thrones and Outlander book in a store.

Yep. Adult coloring books are the #1 trend in publishing right now. Most of the topselling books on Amazon are "adult coloring books".

I'm an illustrator and got in on the trend early last year. I made over $100,000 in passive income last year by uploading coloring books I made on amazon, which were essentially just drawings I took from my old sketchbooks and put in to a PDF. I don't necessarily believe in the "theraputic" aspects of these books. All I know is a lot of people these days, mostly stay at home moms, tumblrinas and old women are obsessed with these coloring books, and they're making me a lot of money.

I too think the coloring book trend is a bit ridiculous, but the market itself is a booming industry with a lot of money to be made.

Some people doing these books I know don't even know how to draw. They just took public domain images from the British library website and put it in to coloring books, and make good money from it.

The story is total horseshit. They cannot just fire employees like that literally on the spot immediately after an unverified complaint. The employees would simply countersue (and win, likely).

You can disbelieve if you want, but this actually went down this week. It began last Thursday. To be fair I learned last night that one of the guys who was fired was actually transferred to a different team, but two other guys, including my buddy, were canned.

I friend "C" who I mentioned is talking to a lawyer next week, so we'll see how that plays out.

If you don't believe, that's cool. Enjoy your life. Meanwhile I've decided to quit today.

[–]TAOofSTEVE 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

You should ask to be transferred to a different team as well. Mention the words "hostile work environment" to your manager or hr (that is a term that hr is required to follow up on at most companies). Cite the lack of productivity and decline in team performance. Be civil and unemotional but also be direct and factual. It will bring your concerns about hamzilla to the attention of those above you while also keeping your job. If it doesn't work then your company is dumb and it is best you move on anyway.

Because it's Canada you can't just fire people willy nilly. There is a formal review system that has to be followed or else the business faces serious penalties. IF this story is true, then those 3 guys who got fired would get the biggest pay day of their lives. Lawyers would be scrambling to represent them for a piece of the action. I'd take this story with a grain of salt.

[–]snowdude_fz 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Canada doesn't have at will employment. Firing someone without cause is a bad idea. Maybe they could lay him off, but without notice they would need to compensate him. It's much easier to fire someone in the US. This shit is fake as hell.

[–]baron_von_f 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

The story is probably legit. We have a shitty regional telco that fits the bill. Even on a short term contract, I could not stand that place. They have hiring quotas for all positions that are strictly enforced. IT is usually low on women, so they may not be able to be rid of the Hippo. If it is them, I'm surprised about turfing the black dude, but I guess they come out lower in the totem pole than fat bitches with unverifiable diseases.

As for firing people, contractors have almost no rights. In some ways employment is now works in Canada than the US. In the US, at you could sue your former employer. Good luck doing that in Canada.

The disease the Hippo claims to have is probably fibromyalgia. It is considered a legitimate disease by what passes for modern medicine. Back when homosexuality was still a mental illness (the 1980s), fibromyalgia was thought of the same way.

This holds true in general.

True sociopaths and the like are just acting according to their nature when they try to fuck with you. However, the actual bad guys in that situation are the idiots who act on the sociopaths' behalf - because it would have been their obligation to protect the rest of the team/other citizens/whomever from the sociopaths' antics, and not enable them in the first place.

I have to agree. Canada does not have "at will" employment. To fire someone, they either have to do something egregious, or they have to be repeatedly warned and disciplined for minor infractions. Otherwise they can make a claim for wrongful dismissal. Source: http://labourrelations.org/FeatureArticles/CrashCourseCanadianEmploymentLaw.html

The guy supposedly fired for ogling her? All he had to say was "didn't happen."

Also, 3 people on one team being fired in a short period of time based on one person's word? Doesnt happen unless the complainer is there due to nepotism.

He could easily say Hungry Hippo keeps begging for his attention and she makes him feel uncomfortable. Also, her sexual stares are making the work environment uncomfortable. He can also complain that she has demonstrated that she cannot work well with others.

I hate to break it to you, but if this chick is getting people fired just off her word, and she's already made a complaint about you for ignoring her (literally, not giving her attention), it's only a matter of time before you're next.  

What is really disappointing is that they're willing to dismantle an entire team just off of one person's word. The way I see it, if 3 good people are fired based off of one persons accusations, the accuser is most likely the problem. The fact that they don't see this alone, should be cause to get away.

Its child psycholody 101 your leader is missing. What your stupid boss doesn't know is hungry hippo is also trying to get the boss fired too making up some shit.

Fibromyalgia.

It means she's a mental case.

It also might be a way for her to tell everyone she has obesity.

But don't say any of that out loud, you could end up fired.

Or you could just resign and tell them your reason for resigning is that they treat people like shit because of the hippo.

That's my story.

It has some markers of anger phase rage porn, but assuming you're serious...

I work for a major telecom

I realize large bureaucracies can sometimes let problems like this fester, but this isn't a crackerjack operation. There should be layers of management and accountability, and an HR department; possibly a union and grievance process on top of all that.

M gets fired on the spot!

By the end of this week, she's had three of us four guys canned

Hard to believe someone as functionless and socially disagreeable can instigate the firing of three important productive workers in a short span of time; harder to believe that serious attention isn't being paid to the performance of this unit.

Now I'm thinking of simply going in and resigning.

This is the hardest part to believe, it's the most weaksauce thing I've read today. Capitulate to an incompetent colleague, really OP?

Why not get your testicles to descend and grab hold of this opportunity to make a serious power move here. Call out the shitshow in your department to the right higher-ups. Decide your best position there, and demonstrate how you can fix this problem from that position. Sell it to the managers as a problem they may have been unaware of but you bring a lasting solution to the table. Let us know how this goes.

I agree that OP's story is implausible. But the first guy's firing is plausible if his vulgar, angry speech was well outside the norm for the company.

That said, it doesn't make any sense that the company would get rid of 3 more productive employees without addressing the obvious root cause of conflict in the group (tumblrina). The implied explanation - that the company is afraid to get rid of her because of discrimination etc - makes no sense when one of the people fired is a black man.

Apparently there's a guy out there so fucking thirsty that he put his hot dog into this hungry hippo and now they're getting married.

I literally spit out my coffee laughing.

So she goes back to the EXEC and gets one of my buddies, a black guy named C who I KNOW is RP (we're both on this sub...if you're reading, you know who this is) fired for "making her uncomfortable and oggling her in a sexually suggestive way".

Typical. Fat, white, SJW, cunt, feminists are the most racist cunts. Hypergamy floats. The "bottom rung" of 80% of men are all violent, rapists who rape with male gaze. Look at all the diversityTM in the new female power Ghost Busters...

I'd start urgently looking for a new job. Toxic environments see company productivity come to a halt, and promising talent never stays around that.

She colors in a fucking children's coloring book. She has a box of Crayola pencil crayons and sits there coloring during meetings. She doesn't even draw the pictures herself; she just colors in the lines like a five year old. One time we were discussing how we can position the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as a retention offer despite the very high price tag of these devices, and she just interrupted the meeting and held up a picture of a horse that she had colored in eight different colors and screeched out "Look at my horse!"

Wow.

Overall, I think it's very likely that the managers are very aware of what they were doing. I think it's likely that they found themself in a bind where they have to sell these products but at the same time, they have to fail. So what do they do? They hire someone with an anti-degree. Someone that studied women's studies or liberal arts or something and she is there for the sole purpose of reporting and firing every member and thus, bringing the entire project to a crash. That's my genuine opinion. She was the solution to some kind of office politics problem that you can't see.

[–]Endorsed Contributorxray777 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

So why wasn't she reported for coloring in meetings? That's just crazy, man.

There's no future for you here. I would quit ASAP, and I would tell your bosses the red truth. Depending on context, I'd even accidentally email it to quite a few people in the department.

This is cartoonish behavior by this company. Assuming this story is true, I wouldn't be surprised if someone higher up is playing Machiavelli with your department.

So why wasn't she reported for coloring in meetings?

Because it wasn't in the exec's meeting. A lot of people here saying how stupid she is....no shes smarter than the other guys that got fired. See how she cares little for the normal meeting where real work happens....the higher ups dont see her efforts or lack of. But in the exec's meeting she steps up her game, uses it to promote herself. Why? because shes a smart manipulative person.

I'd stop short of calling her smart. Just because a chicken is better than me at finding grubs next to the woodpile doesn't mean its smart.

This scenario doesn't qualify. There would have to be a suspension and then investigation. Even then, it wouldn't go further than a written warning about behavioural conduct.

I think you handled it well. Your manager is an idiot and she needs to be disciplined for ridiculous behaviour, not validated. Look for another job because this company is going down.

Genuine post(I don't see fibromyalgia mentioned to often here)

I'll be entirely honest. I'd appreciate any advice on fibromyalgia. I was one of the healthiest and smartest kids growing up till high school after that I gave up in school. I trained in taekwondo for almost a decade. I played sports ranging from tennis to baseball and they always said this kid is great and was put on the team. I ran varsity cross country and track for 3 years. During high school, my diet was shit and didn't sleep(most likely contributed to fibro). Unfortunately, one day I couldn't bend my leg and the pain spread all over my body over a few months. I was in bed all day for months in pain. All they told me is to take painkillers and go back to school on oxys. The things your mind can do to you when you are in a vulnerable place is horrific. I imagined being a cripple till I die.

Time passed eventually I found a physical therapist was able to help me. He actually listened to where I had pain and weakness and helped me progress through pain. I started eating food with proper nutrition. I started acupuncture. I made a tremendous recovery in the span of a few months.

After those 2-3 years, I have deteriorated my body through stressing it when I should know when to stop. I go past my limits quite easily because the body is so weak. Lifting was so easy back in the day compared to now. I have to be so careful to not snap anything. I hurt myself bending over at my desk. Not while deadlifting BTW people in the gym came up to me and told me I have some of the best form they've seen even though I am using light weights. I was glad to be in a healthy environment of supportive people.

The only things I know to deal with this shit known as fibromyalgia is eating healthy(taking vitamins/supplements and avoiding shit that causes flair ups like milk, sugar, certain carbs), corrective exercise(neurosomatic therapy, M.A.T.), and sleeping enough(focus on quality of sleep: blackout curtains, white noise, binaural beats).

Obstacle is the way is a great book which basically says be grateful for the circumstance because it can and will change you. But, it is up to you whether the change is good or bad. Biggest benefit of fibromyalgia is that it has forced me to mature.

I thank god (just using phrase don't get into semantics) that I found TRP. I don't need anything else fucking up my life.

You guys on this sub are right about fibro people. Most of them especially if you check out the fibro subreddit just take painkillers and aren't doing much about it. Sometimes when I'm really in pain it helps provide comfort knowing other people are going through the same pain as me. Because you(as in me) actually begin to feel like there is something wrong with you. That you are lying or why is my body doing this to me. What did I do to deserve this(seriously, victim mentality).

Guys, all I want to say is this is a great community that has and will continue to change my life. And please make sure you do everything in your power to take advantage of your health. If you get into a motorcycle accident and rehab(happened to me) and learn from the experience(great). You lose a fight and recover and train everyday to best that person up or never be that weak again(great). Pain is a great catalyst for growth. But, I seriously pray none of you guys get this terrible bullshit disease where people think you're lying, faking, and whatever bullshit people think.

I know I can do better in time management, optimizing recovery, and progressing. In the end, it will be worth it.

I know you guys say shit like it is. If you see something that you can call me out on or advise me on. I'm all ears.

TLDR: Back story of how I got fibromyalgia. Struggles of fibromyalgia. Please, do not get fibromyalgia and take preventative measures. Any advise for a kid who isn't even old enough to drink.

I have a similar thing where I work. I work in retail right now, and I was a cashier. There is a lady that I worked with quite similar to this; big, unhygienic, lazy, hard to look at, talks about her life problems at work, her fiancé who cheated on her, etc...

It's brutal, nobody gives a fuck. I was a cashier when I first started working with her (she came back from medical leave after 6 months, I started 4 months prior). Immediately she started ranting to me, I had to stand there and listen to her bullshit. It all followed through for about two months and I finally got moved to the Sales section of the store (which I completely recommend, suits me better and you can actually apply RP to the situations).

Since her return, in the last 5-6 months she takes about 3 or 4 days off due to "being sick". When in reality she's fat as fuck, unhealthy, eats McDonald's every day, has multiple energy drinks, and hides candy in the back office to munch on while working. She plays everything by the system and all our coworkers and managers know it.

On the contrary, managements hands are tied and almost everybody has complained to HR. Everybody knows she's bullshit, and brings down the workplace, although there's not much the employees can do besides spread their voice. To end my rant, she's shit, worst employee ever, she's toxic, etc. She ruins the team, and the spirit of it.

I love where I work aside from all of that, and I moved positions and got promoted. This would not of happened without TRP and I'm great full. Still implementing and learning a lot, but I have gained so much since I started lurking here and applying RP. Thanks a ton, I can't wait for the next year to come.

Edit: She's full time and takes 3-4 days off a week. I've talked to my managers, so have other employers about her. Everybody knows she's a problem, I'm sitting on the sidelines now as I have said and done what I needed. I'm also not in that department anymore, so it's not my problem.

Do you guys have any tips or advice that I can give fellow employees or even apply to my own self?

She probably sees herself as an anime character. Dead serious, her mind's eye sees herself interrupting meetings as a tiny bubble-headed cartoon with enormous eyes. Japanese cartoons aren't so fun in real life.

Just a word about her disease. Likely, she has "fibromyalgia" which is a disorder that has popped up in recent years. The symptoms of fibromyalgia are feeling shitty and hurting. That's it. There's no known cause and no cure. There's no diagnostic test and no good course of treatment other than pain-killers.

For some unknown reason (WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE), 80-90% of fibromyalgia pts are women. They are typically diagnosed in middle age, though many women also develop it in their mid-20s onward.

Fibromyalgia is a feel-good disease that isn't a disease. It's perfect for women. All they have to do is "feel bad" and they get a diagnosed disorder that other people (and companies) have to take seriously. It's probably just the years of wear and tear taking its toll on the human body. But since the hamster refuses to acknowledge aging, now it's "fibromyalgia".*

Be on the lookout. If a girl tells you she has fibro, be very cautious. You're in the blue pill frame. Dead serious, there was a community of "fibro hubbies" that got together and commiserated on the pain their special snowflakes endured. Chances are, their wives are using it to cuck their husbands. ("I don't feel like doing that tonight. My fibromyalgia...")

It's the ultimate Blue Pill illness. She just feels bad for no reason. Don't fall for it.

*(I definitely think the pain is real. But the victim-mentality that comes with it is pure Blue Pill. I worked with a 65 year old women once who was overweight, was on her feet 12 hours a day, and had the knees of a 12th year NFL return specialist. She was also RP af and never complained.)

So your combat forces are going to be lead by women with no combat experience. They will stop at absolutely nothing.

Just talk to your boss. Explain that the pink lard smells. Explain that everyone else in the team is unable to sit near her because of her odour and this is why the other guys were fired. The other team members are just too decent to tell her to her face. I know that this isn't the real reason, but most offices have a good personal hygiene policy, so use it to your advantage.

She seems pretty quick to go crying to the boss when things don't go her way and it seems to be working in her favour. You should do the same.

Your fired colleagues need to sue the company too, or at least threaten to sue.

Alternatively, just spoke her food/drinks with laxatives.

I'm having a hard time swallowing the fact that one incompetent buffoon is the reason why an entire half of your team was shit canned. Thinking this story is real in the first place is a bit of a stretch, but I'll bite.

Your work environment allows:

1) A single disrupting individual to stop team meetings to show off children's level drawings

2) A reporting system that discloses the identity of those who report wrongdoing in the workcenter.

3) Said reporting system has no minimum requirements for burden of proof of wrongdoing.

This workcenter of yours allowed for three of its workers to get fired under circumstances amounting to "he said, she said" bullshit. You can't blame Hungry Hippo for that - she doesn't sign anyone's paychecks. A competent team lead would've addressed those allowances listed above and nipped everything in the bud long before half a team got sacked because "reasons".

At the end of the day, this workcenter's primary responsibility is to make money. How are you going to be profitable when you reduce your productive staff from 7 to 4 (6 to 3 if Hungry Hippo's ineptitude as an employee is as true as it's implied) - that's twice the workload for the remaining staff just to keep up with whatever demand you guys have, and who knows how fast anyone is going to be able to bring in replacements that don't ask "what can I expect working in this environment" or "what happened to the guy who held this position before me".

Even if you didn't have a business of your own, now is the time to submit resignation paperwork. The situation in this workcenter is going to get worse before it gets better and nobody on your team is equipped to make any improvements.

Her shit started a few years ago where she was in an IT position. Sucked so bad, that when the rounds of department cuts came through, she was demoted down to basic call center. Well, she survived being there and when the position in the department opened up, she was the first pick to come back.

Her work ethic was still shitty, but our management was a blue pill type that put up with it because "woman". Co-workers complained about her work. It was well known how shitty she was. So what does the manager do? Creates a special position for her, literally created a job just for her to fill. That job also came with a lvl2 title and a pay raise. The Hungry Hippo is also cunning. Unlike the last time she was placed in a position as an "at will" she convinced the manager to have a signed 2 year contract in this position! So not only is she promoted into a 1 person department, the company can't fire her because of contract! Her daily job entails sitting at her computer and watching seasons of Grey's Anatomy until she gets 1 task that takes her 10 minutes to complete. At least the hippo is out of everyone else's department and not bringing the team down.

Well here comes recession part2. Cuts are coming and the higher ups are looking to cut people. Fortunately the execs are more redpill than management. Unfortunately my department got cut, Hungry Hippo got to keep her job because of "contract" however the manager who hired her in with a contract was the first to be terminated.

So like your story, blue pills should not be placed in management. Luckily if the business is worth standing, someone higher than management is redpill enough to notice the incompetency of a blue pill cuck. Unfortunately by the time this is brought to their attention, the shit has hit the fan high enough and much of the damage is already done.

Business lesson. Blue pill management can really sink a company by treating women as special snowflakes. This is why according to The Gervais Principle, Execs are the sociopaths, middle management are the clueless, and those of us on the bottom are the Losers. A business enters that cycle where the clueless become so large that they make bad decisions by mismanaging the losers.

The story reeks of bullshit.

Coloring books for adults is a huge business now.

That's exactly what makes it believable, dude

a black guy named C who I KNOW is RP (we're both on this sub...if you're reading, you know who this is) fired for "making her uncomfortable and oggling her in a sexually suggestive way".

The problem here is that these guys weren't willing to stand up and fight. Like pointing out that nobody would be oggling her in a sexually suggestive way, because she's disgusting to even look at.

seems legit to me, worked in many offices. some people have nothing better to do than complain and start drama (usually older and/or fat women)

Interesting. But not surprising. Here's where you hold frame and exercise game. Bad people are out there. In the working world we all come across them sooner or later.

Keep your focus on your mission. What do you need to accomplish to get the job done and to rock it. Tumblina will not help you reach that goal. But you do not need her. Simply put, own your job, own your mission, and get shit done. Don't outshine your masters who are your boss, and the execs.

In executing your job, help to make them shine. You don't even need to focus on Ms. Tumble. But you need to outwork and outshine her.

If your bosses can't accept that, then you must move on. Do you have something to offer elsewhere? Do you have your shit together? If not, now's the time. This is the real world. the real deal. people fuck and hurt each other to care for their own asses. No one will care for you, but you. Ultimately, other good men will see that you have your shit together and get shit done. Real men will come forward to help real men. this is the Red Pill working in action.

So, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. And when "YOU" really get going, the going gets all that tougher for Tumblina.

Make sense?

If her looks aren't enough to disgust, her personality is..I can't even describe it (and I'm a writer and former ESL teacher). She is ALWAYS going on about how she has "fibrelylosous" (fiberosis? fibersnuffalafuggus? I don't fucking know). Some weird condition that affects..something. If it's too cold in the building for her then it is making her fiber-whatever flare up. If it's too warm then it's making it flare up. If she doesn't get the comfiest seat in the conference room then it conveniently flares up.

This paragraph had me in tears. 10/10

Now I'm thinking of simply going in and resigning

Only thinking of? The answer should be obvious. You dont want to be working for a place like that.

I believe the coloring book part. There are coloring books for adults that are on amazon. And my hand to God a female engineer in my department has one because "it helps release stress and she can focus easier".

We all know this girl, OP. We all have this girl in our lives somewhere.

Godspeed, OP. Godspeed.

resign and tell the pathetic execs that hungry hippo was the ONLY reason why everyone quit. If you don't need that job, you should default to standards. She is eroding yours. Apparently she is getting what she wants as a fucking toddler.

I could sit here for hours and read everyone's story about their own hippo they work with.

If the exec had said that to me I would have looked him in the eye and told him the truth with no remorse, as well as told him he's making poor decisions that will cost him effort if not money in the long run. I'd also have dropped in a line about how people are avoiding her because the whole team knows what she's saying is false and they're afraid of her disliking them and lying, as it's become apparent that they could lose their job.

I'd also be far more choosy with my words to ensure my team looked like the victims (even though in this case they are) and that she looks vicious and have an exit strategy or be looking really hard, really fast. Either way with people like this in charge there's a good possibility that staying would be the wrong choice. A ship with a leaky hole will sink, it just takes longer than one that crashes directly.

If you can ask to get re-assigned to another team ASAP while you find another job. But yeah, they are gunning for you next.
