TheStatutoryApe said:My friend has this sort of issue. I find that it is mainly him not liking work and taking it out on his coworkers. He does his job well but then just can't get on with his coworkers in a normal fashion and eventually gets fired or quits. After he lost his last job he got brainwashed (rather willingly of course) into believing it would be better to take time out from working and "follow his goals and dreams" since work was just such a horrible waste of his time and talent anyway. He left me holding the bag on rent and bills until our lease was up and then went to stay with someone else who eventually got tired of him and kicked him out. Now he has moved on to mooching off of family while he "follows his dreams" and "does something better with himself".
Perhaps you have a rather unique situation in the jobs you have done (if you are in fact portraying your own situation) but for the most part it is really just part of regular adult life that you will wind up dealing with people you would rather not. There are idiots and drama queens in every walk of life. Getting a college education, finding a better job, or "following your dreams" is not going to alleviate you of this burden of everyday life.
Sorry to hear about what your friend put you through.
So if I got this right, what you are saying is that the answer to the situation I described is that I should just put up with idiots like that and just let things slide. So instead of performing one task at work like I normally would, if I have to end up performing multiple tasks just because I am covering for someone else who is smoking by the backdoor or texting in the bathroom, then I should go ahead and do that just because lazy people are now an everyday phenomena?
