I got news for you, sunshine: You have no idea how good you've got it. I've been in the real world, and your workload ain't shit.
You're stressed, I'm stressed, everybody's stressed. Stop being such a selfish little prick. You you say that to him or are you just saying that to us? If it's the latter, why are saying that to us instead of him? Shared workspaces suck because people suck. |

I knew a girl in college that genuinely held a grudge against anyone that corrected her. I met her about halfway through college and she always pretty much hated this girl that was really sweet and kept to herself. One day the crazy girl told us why she hated her, because the sweet girl made her look stupid in the classroom.
It turned out that the crazy girl answered a question wrong, then the teacher asked the next girl, and she got it right, so the crazy girl hated her. |

Quoted: I work in a room with one other person. I'm a boomer, he's Gen-Z. We normally just do our own work, which includes a fair amount of time spent on the phone. And the few conversations we have are generally light-hearted. Today I was having a conversation with a vendor, and he made a call to another vendor. His voice was noticably louder than usual - in fact, he was "Yellaughing" if you catch my drift. I finished with my call, and he made another, this time at a significantly lower volume level. So I politely told him that he was awfully loud in that conversation, which disrupted my ability to converse in mine. You'd have thought I'd called him a piece of shit asshole and threatened to SIIHPAPP his girlfriend. I mean, he got profoundly defensive and shot back with some ridiculous comments like: "Well, you talk on speakerphone sometimes." "Fine, I'll endeavor not to do that anymore." "It doesn't bother me. What bothers me is you complaining about my voice. I'm not going to worry about my volume when I'm doing my job talking to vendors!" "What about when I'm talking to vendors?" "Maybe we just shouldn't be working here on the same days if you can't handle it." "Well, if that's what you want. What I want is for you to recognize that you and I are in a room doing our jobs, and we both need to be aware of the environment, and how our voices affect each other." "That's fucking bullshit." I have noticed lately that he thinks he's being overworked. I got news for you, sunshine: You have no idea how good you've got it. I've been in the real world, and your workload ain't shit. You're stressed, I'm stressed, everybody's stressed. Stop being such a selfish little prick. Quite frankly, his little tantrum will lead me to order a tall cubicle divider to put between us.

I used to work in a small company in NYC. Four of us were in one cube, with each of us with a corner. This one guy would make personal phone calls on speaker phone. He was buying a house as a real estate investment. He had the balls to shush us once when we were to loud. Holy thundercunt batman.

I'm 35 and I have two co workers that react the same way. Granted, it's a machine shop, but both of them have a "fuck the next guy" attitude when it comes to the finer details of finishing parts. It's painful to watch a 30 year old and 34 year old slam drawers, doors, tools, etc because they were told to finish their own parts i.e. smoothing edges and scotch-brite flat surfaces. I feel as though these types of people never received PROPER discipline growing up. |

He complained to the boss, and now I don't work in the office the same days as him.
No skin off my back. What the boss doesn't realize is that, with such a hair trigger temper and fragile ego, he's going to have issues with a lot more employees. The worst part is that I want him to succeed, and if he can't handle being a part of a team, and alienates everyone in the office, then decides that he's not the problem and seeks employment elsewhere, he'll be in for a rude awakening. What's that saying? (I'm paraphrasing...) "If you have problems with everyone around you, maybe you are the problem." |

Maybe you can approach this guy by being calm, but if he responds with disproportionate emotion, that would be difficult to deal with moving forward. Vent here all you want. Nobody will probably have good advice because we aren't there in the office with you. Looks like you no longer together, which is good for you! Some people can't get out of their own way, even if you want the best for them. He sounds like one of those guys. Good luck! |

I never served, so I don't even have those habits guiding my view, but my God, are the generations after mine really fucking sensitive to criticism. I have a Millennial boss (because I'm an idiot), and wow! Do they feel it necessary to submerge any needed criticism within about nine layers of how great I am, but... Dude, we're not having this conversation if you weren't correcting me, so correct me, I'll try to do that shit/stop doing this shit next time, and we can get on with doing the giant piles of work we both have. It's weird... |

My gut feeling is he was being loud intentionally to try and irritate you. Sounds exactly like the type of passive aggressive shit some people pull when they're upset with you about something, but can't address it because it's retarded and they'll look retarded.
