I have read many threads on PC where people are talking about nasty coworkers.

I thought I was lucky because everyone at my new job is positive and upbeat.

Until today.

This one woman...let's call her Mopey....was throwing a dark cloud over everything today. The job I am training in is very hard...and I realized today that when someone throws off a negative attitude it makes the tasks unbearably hard.

Mopey kept bossing me around even though we are at the same level. If I asked her something she walked away like she didn't hear me. It was really making me feel like crap. She also kept making critical side comments about my job performance, and as well, throwing me dirty looks.

I had an evaluation later in the day and I mentioned it. They wanted a name so I told them. The supervisor said this wasn't the first negative reflection on Mopey.

Now maybe Mopey will know I reported this as she was called into the manager's office before the end of the day.

Maybe I made an enemy.

But I realize I can't abide a bad attitude at work. I know Mopey has some personal stuff going on...but don't we all???

I am at this job to make money, not win a popularity contest. But a positive attitude is like the number one job requirement so I felt I needed to report the situation.

What do you think?
