The less responsible one. – 2016 10 14 The new colleague is getting annoying. After the manager told her that:”You need to improve your Excel skills”. She complained to me and another colleague:”It is so hard to calculate with Excel. I would not have joined the company if the boss mentioned earlier about Excel skills”. I was speechless. Is basic Excel skill not necessary? Most of us need it. It is alright if she doesn’t have proper knowledge, she could ask others and keep learning. But she has really wrong attitude. The other day, when I was replying an email, she suddenly broke in and talked impatiently:”The manager said my documents are wrong and asked me to check carefully. How could I know what is wrong when he was not telling clearly.” I glanced at her documents, they looked ok except the quantity column: ”Maybe he was referring to this part. You can either check again or just ask the manager.” Actually I was unhappy for the way she talked, it was as if I need to be responsible for her mistakes. Usually I avoid staying too closed to her, as she smokes. I don’t like the smell, especially when she gossips in my ears. I wish she could be more responsible and polite.
