I got called “high maintenance” at work 😁

Negging YOU because HE made a mistake... what a man-toddler!

aclick1999 · 2021-05-03T19:38:26+00:00

Loooool. I had a coworker just today call me high maintenance because I refused to do his job of completing month end financials. This idiot wrote it in an email. I forwarded it to my boss and his supervisor and said "as seen below, I'd like to confirm this is not a duty of my position. If my job description has changed to include this, can we schedule a meeting to discuss compensation, training, and my job title? Thank you all for taking the time to address this"

You can bet my phone blew up immediately. Men always wanting you to work for free or shortchange you. But only in the safety of secrecy. 🙄

He would be tripping over himself if a male in a high position told him he fucked up. Which he did.

He’s a misogynist plain and simple. It’s only high maintenance because a woman told him, and he doesn’t respect women who don’t understand they should expect the bare minimum from him

Report him. No professional environment needs some desktop guy telling women how their relationships will pan out based on a printer job done wrong. Ducking idiot.

PBJellyNutella · 2021-05-03T19:20:35+00:00

Why the immediate comment ‘’ it would be hard for you to find a man/ satisfy you, etc?? Why is this dude jumping to stupid conclusions just because you asked him to fix something he had incorrectly done in the first place?

splendiddiamonds · 2021-05-03T19:54:05+00:00

it’s gonna be hard to find a guy like that/you’re gonna be alone

It's going to be even harder for him to find a new job after his supervisor finds out he's doing shoddy repair jobs and won't give him a good reference. Just saying.

Exsqueeze_meh · 2021-05-03T20:09:17+00:00

Wow he sure sounds like a prize. And here we go again ... ."you'll never FIND A MAN acting like that". He assumes you want one? He assume you're worthless w/out one? He assumes you need one? Enough already, i'm sick of "single" being an insult for women, it's pure projection.

lucidlotus · 2021-05-03T19:26:07+00:00

Jeez! What a rude jerk. Sounds like he's resentful you asked him to do his job correctly and has major issues with women.

Maingurl · 2021-05-03T19:35:56+00:00

Of course I'm high maintenance only the best ink results can satisfy me.💕

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-05-03T18:43:51+00:00

Please report him. Sounds like a clown. You shouldn't be insulted by a representative of a company for asking for the service that you are paying for to be done correctly.

millennialpink2000 · 2021-05-03T20:05:21+00:00

What a prick. His ego got hurt so he immediately had to lash out with the only 'threat' he could think of: that'd you'd not find a guy. Bwahahaha

Depending on your mood, maybe next time give him a big smile and say "thank you, I know'

Man does work on printer & fails to complete the job properly, so the printer was not working correctly.

Woman points out that the printer is not working correctly & asks him to rectify his error.

Man tries to pretend the printer not working correctly isn't really a problem.

Man then calls the woman 'demanding' for wanting a printer to work correctly.

Man then launches a personal attack on the woman about her personal relationship status, future life outcomes & personality.

...all because she wanted the printer to work properly after he'd worked on it.

Men are so fragile, emotional & irrational.

Kimpractical · 2021-05-03T20:28:24+00:00

They are all the same. They want us to be satisfied with their half-assness. No. Do the whole thing and do it completely and we won’t have shit to say

feeturingmyself · 2021-05-03T19:05:19+00:00

Good ol scrote projecting his short comings onto a queen. He can't even fix a printer the first time despite it being his job... instead of focusing on you, he should focus on his work/productivity

jewdiful · 2021-05-03T23:12:13+00:00

“I’m not high maintenance, you’re just low effort” I read that somewhere, maybe on here, I still love it as a reply haha

HengroenAndLlamrei · 2021-05-04T13:47:19+00:00

I’ve turned down 3 marriage proposals. Men love high maintenance bitches. Makes them feel all warm and fuzzy in their nether regions when they finally earn your approval and they put in real effort.

ItsFreezen · 2021-05-03T21:25:04+00:00

Why does Scrote think a Useless Man is the prize?

tactical_viper · 2021-05-03T19:55:41+00:00

Why is this dude automatically jumping to sticking his nose in your personal relationships? So unprofessional. You KNOW he would never say that to a guy.

Aspect-Secure · 2021-05-04T01:00:23+00:00

I would've just said to him that him being incompetent doesn't make me "high maintenence". 🤷‍♀️

straighthairgreece · 2021-05-04T02:34:28+00:00

Congrats!

hologothic · 2021-05-04T03:47:27+00:00

It's so funny to me that guys like this are insulted when a woman won't accept their half-assed attempt at doing something.

orangechickengeneral · 2021-05-04T04:02:19+00:00

"Should have done your job right the first time, then you wouldn't have to redo it"

haunted_vcr · 2021-05-04T05:15:23+00:00

You aren't high maintenance for expecting your colleague to do his job. You think he'd mouth off like that to a male superior? Hell naw he'd be all sucking up "yes sir thank you sir". Pay him no attention.

KateJ1982 · 2021-05-04T06:13:57+00:00

You should report that little weasel to HR. It's one thing to make a mistake. It's another to whine when you ask him to simply correct his mistake. But to then to make these statements -

it’s gonna be hard to find a guy like that/you’re gonna be alone.” And he said I seemed “hard to satisfy”.

Report that conversation straight to HR and get it in his record because it's incredibly unprofessional to speak like that in the workplace and you know this is a pattern with this pathetic manbaby.

mitskiismygf · 2021-05-04T14:47:18+00:00

I get called high maintenance and I love it. Every woman I admire gets called “high maintenance”. It’s queen behavior,

randowordgenerator · 2021-05-03T21:36:13+00:00

oooo, I've done that work and that guy's entitled to a bitch slap and unemployment.

highoncatnipbrownies · 2021-05-03T21:07:16+00:00

Congratulations on this achievement. I hope others will come to know you as high maintenance so the trash can take themselves out.

mscristalconnors · 2021-05-05T06:58:25+00:00
