Yesterday's Question of the Day results.
Yesterday we asked you if you work with a rude, obnoxious co-worker? It was a tie, 50% said yes and 50% said no. Wow, the yes side is much higher than I thought it would be. If you answered yes, why not tell us some of the things your co-worker does. Remember your posts are anonymous.

We had a great e-mail from someone who has worked in a nasty working environment. Take a look at some of the things that happened at his/her workplace...
I recently worked in an environment where after a fellow employee announced they were expecting a baby the Executive Director announced that in future perhaps one of the vetting requirements during the interview process should be that all female employees be spayed.
Same organization, different staff meeting, a fellow female employee was seeking clarification on some points from a male employee who promptly responded "I have a wife at home who nags me, I don't need one at work".
In both instances senior management were at the table and these remarks were not addressed.
I think you would be surprised at the number of incidents such as these that occur on a daily basis.
The outcome you might ask, repeated attempts to have this brought to the attention of the Board of Directors were met with the comment "that would be career suicide for the person bringing it forward"; interesting reply I should say, wouldn't you?
