Anyone ever have one of those coworkers that irk you to the point that you'd like to see them fail?
I normally don't feel that way, but lately I've been harboring a lot of resentment for one of my coworkers. This person is very cruel, and yet our former workplace absolutely loves her. This lady often told me that if I can't do my job, don't do it. She often talked about how great she was. She would frequently mention that she's worked so hard to develop processes and the rest of us are just "messing things up." She believes and acts as if she's God's gift to the world and often has nothing but snide, sarcastic remarks for others.
I would love for her to receive a taste of her own medicine. I would love for her to make a big mistake. Not one that harms a patient, but one that makes her realize she is no angel and she's not perfect. In addition to being cruel, she is demanding and expects everyone to accommodate her schedule. It's okay for her to show up late or leave work early, but if someone else does the same thing, you'd better watch out because she'll let you know what she thinks.
Frankly, I resent that she's able to get away with so much b-crap and remain employed. She doesn't deserve her job. I'd love for her to mess up so that she ends up jobless.
As far as all these saintly people answering this thread, I think the OP is being a little more honest than they are.???
LOL, if there is one thing that I can say, it's that I haven't been dishonest on Allnurses regarding my thoughts or feelings. Maybe a bit too honest at times.

I don't think of myself as saintly, in fact I am a practicing pagan that believes actions can cause disruptions in the balance of the universe. There are people at work that I really don't like at all.Some are mean, some not so bright and some who are downright dangerous. That being said I would never wish for them to fail. That would throw my own spirit out of balance .
My point in answerng the question as I did is because I have been following the OP's posts for years and there is a trend of perseravating on things to the point of self destruction. I'll bow out now as SB rarely follows anyone's advice.

Okay, reconsidering the thread title, yes I have felt that way before. But not so much in recent years, since I've decided it's just not worth my time. There's too much crazy/maladjusted out there. For me, to be bothered enough to want them to fail is to have already spent too much brain power on it.

It's always good advice to not ruminate on people we dislike. There's nothing saintly about not wishing ill on others. It's just a way to maintain what little peace we might have.

That's pretty much my policy. I'm too lazy to hold a grudge.

Honestly speaking I want Nurse Rachet (not her real name} to be held accountable for her actions and be far away from me.
In her first three months she got fired by 6 patients and managed to piss off the entire nursing staff.
I choose to take the moral high ground with her because part of her MO is to pull staff into conflict which she institages and then does a really good job of playing the victim and acting like she has no reason why the 15th nurse is having a go at her.
Its pure selfish reasons, I have a job that I love and I'll be dammed if I let this evil *** drive me out of it

Pagans and Heathens can be saintly...
Tis true but there is no formal means to recognize them as such. My religion is not about the approval of mankind and the god's I pray too don't recognize behaior in this manner.
