I Work With Jabba, and It's Not a Good Thing

| | Comments (4)

About 8 years ago, when I was a young 22 year old newlywed, I took a job at a small medical distributor. The three partners "retired"(READ division closed) from THE major international manufacturer of OTC drugs and first aid supplies and took one of their products with them (as a golden parachute) and formed this new company. 2 of the partners were "silent" (took a paycheck but weren't actively involved in the day-to-day business decisions) and the other 1 who I refer to as Jabba was the active partner (he got a much larger paycheck! I worked in the accounting department...)

First, Jabba turned out to be a major league drunk (drinking from sun up to sun down, even a stash in his desk) and massive eater of garlic. Second, Jabba was married to the Snow Queen aka White Witch of the North (in the Chronicles of Narnia fashion). While Jabba was busy being drunk and eating garlic, the evil Snow Queen was making all of the decisions. There was a 3rd person in the relationship- an odd little Goth chic who was the same age as me but was married to a transvestite and had a 6 year old daughter. Little Goth Chic was the Snow Queens clone physically and I imagine that she was involved sexually somehow with Jabba & SQ because she literally missed 60 days of work in one year and they didn't think a thing of it (for no other reason than hangovers!)...meanwhile if I was out one day all hell broke loose.

One day leaving the office, traffic was backed up turning right and I needed to turn left so the car that was sitting in the backed up lane let me out so I could inch out a little to turn left. Traffic appeared to be all clear and I was about half way into my turn when I was T-Boned by a car flying much faster than the 40mph speed limit. I pulled over into the grass. Jabba and the Snow Queen were sitting right behind me at the stop sign so imagine my amazement when they looked right as the two wrecked cars (and were accident witnesses NO LESS!) and kept on driving!!! The next day at work the Snow Queen said they didn't know there was an accident and just thought I had pulled over for some reason and wanted to get home to fix dinner (duh, wouldn't ya help me even then? And how can you not hear two cars collide within 10 feet of you at nearly 60 mph??? The entire side of my car was completely smashed, could you not see this? Not to mention the other wrecked car pulled to the sit of the road?) I guess Jabba had to eat. Needless to say I left after 2 years of employment very shortly thereafter. Who wants to work for a nasty drunk asshole that won't even stop to help someone he knows on the side of the road.

Come to find out later down the road that Jabba used to purposely hold meetings with the other partners, one of whom was a severe Diabetic, dragging them out right into lunchtime, knowing that the Diabetic partner would have a big drop in blood sugar if he didn't get to eat soon and therefore agree to anything Jabba asked for in the meeting (including buying half a million of useless inventory from a German manufacturer- baby products - we sold hospital supplies, not baby products- just because he had a major thing for the hot young chick who created the product/owned the company--- she ironically looked like a younger & prettier version of the Snow Queen & Goth Chick)

God.DAMN.
In all my decades of working, I can't even approach the disgusting spectre of you former job.
I doubt I could have handled it without calling the police and telling them that some drunk guy was having a problem on the road on his way home with his wife and posed a threat to the public safety......get it?

I work in medical diagnostics and I hate my co-worker! According to my boss they were suppose to be"removing her from her position" prior to me starting because "she wasn't working out" I was suppose to replace her until she wrote a letter about the injustice that was being done to her because she couldn't pass the state board exam. The truth is she is an overbearing, nosey, drama seeking, childish, unorganized, technically incompetant, babbling idiot, she has no business doing what we do. She makes ignorant comments in front of our patients and they look at me like....is this chic serious? She makes mistakes that could potentially be harmful to peoples lives. She has taken her state board exam 5 times and can't pass.

I am fun and easy to get along with but this birdbrain gets on my nerves. I used to work with several other techs at another place and we had our diferences even quirks but we were all professional and never, ever stabbed eachother in the back trying to make one and other look bad to compensate for our own short comings....

Ticked tech:
Who did she write the letter to?
Can you chronicle her utter lack of ability and write a letter of your own...?
Just askin'.

I have illustrated her incompetance to our manager, and administrator. she kisses the boss ladies booty and the administrator does what the boss lady MGR tells him too. Though it should be the other way around...you know what I mean.
She has made some pretty critical errors(calling cysts blood clots, missing clots, etc) and I have documented them...you would think they'd start a paper trail but like I said...ass kissers. The next step is writing to the VP and CEO.
