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.
I don't want others to fail. Personally I failed as a student and it is the worse feeling. I am surprised how I lasted this long. 6 months of pain and still now it's pain, but who knows if I'll be alive tomorrow. Might as well be in an eternal sleep than to suffer living.
You are suicidal. Losing out at nursing school is not worth killing yourself over. Nursing sucks any way. Get some help. I would have been a lawyer.

Deed,
Your post is concerning If you are having thoughts of self harm seek out a therapist.
At the end of the day, all I know is that Queen Bee ? is going to make it. Queen Bee ? will be fine. As for myself, I have no idea
I feel like I am missing something; all this negative energy spends on a stranger... I hope your practice is not affected when working with this individual, since you seem so distracted by her. Someone mentioned you had this negative fixation on someone else before...please seek therapy, this is not normal or healthy.
I've never thought of my coworkers as failures nor as wanting them 'to' fail. Honestly, I mainly relate the term to actual tests with grades (unless I'm discussing economics and real-world state of affairs....a whole other story). But we all have crossed paths with those colleagues whom we know will eventually have a rude awakening. It could be that he or she already had, and that's the reason for the behavior.
For example, the political situation on the job could be so undesirable that the turnover is unbelievable. An experienced nurse with years in the position may feel trapped due to person obligations or ties to that community, whereas new or younger nurses haven't grown roots yet and have nothing to lose by moving on. The experienced nurse may resent his or her personal circumstances that prevents resignation, and uses that to lash out at those who can keep it moving.
Just know that there's more than one way to keep it moving.?
