Bitchtarded work shenannigans

We all have them - shady-ass coworkers who will throw anyone under the bus to save their own skin. You know, the one who sits on something for 3 hours, misses deadline by 20 minutes and then tells the boss that its because YOU took too long when it was her who didn't handle things in a timely fashion?

I personally hate drama in the workplace. Work is tedious and hard enough as it is without having to make it more difficult by adding extra servings of drama-sauce to everything. I know, because I have to deal with it every single goddamn day of my life. Its bad enough that people fuck up at their jobs but to blame it on someone else? Now that's just gaytarded.

Case in point:

This morning at 8:00am I sent client information over to our processor to review in order to quote liability insurance for a new client who needed to show proof of insurance by 3:00pm or else they lose a $50,000 job. I continued to send multiple emails to try to schedule a conference call between the processor and the client with no response from the processor. When I walked over to her desk around 9:30am she promptly stood up and walked away (how rude!) and disregarded my presence completely. At 10:30am she sends an email to the entire team (including my boss who is the president of the company) and said she had been available all morning for the call. In good faith I scheduled it for 11:00am. I heard nothing back from her but called the client at 12:30pm to reassure him we were working as diligently as possible and he reiterated he needed everything by 3:00pm. I emailed the team to let them know client needed insurance by 3:00pm and if it wasn't a feasible time line then I need to know to call the client. No response from ANYONE - 2:30pm, 2:45pm, 3:00pm, nothing. 3;15pm rolls around and I email the processor to which she responds "left a message for client to let him know quote is ready." 4:00pm she walks by my desk and says "left a message for the client. he said you took too long."
4:30pm - got an email from my boss "processor left a message for client and then called the other guy - who said you took so long that they might have bought somewhere else."

Fucking bitchtard. I can't believe this shit.
