Edit: typo in the title, apparently I can't change it...

I hate people that are all buddy buddy with you right up until they throw you under a bus.

If you don't like me, or something I did, then tell me. Don't act like everything is fine and then screw me over.

Background...

I have Personal Feedback Forms (PFF) for my internship. I have had 8 of them. 7 say that I was great to work with, constantly asking for more work, etc.

The last one I got said "many times his in-charge
would ask for his status and he had actually been complete with his tasks for some time; I believed Ben could certainly have
handled more tasks, as this was his 5th engagement as an intern. Ben should communicate his progress throughout the
engagement and provide advance notice when he is nearing completion of tasks so that he can take on additional tasks to
help the team."

First of all, it's bullshit. I do my work, tell you when I'm done, and ask for more stuff to do.

But that isn't the real issue. When working with this person, I thought we had a great relationship. Almost friendship-like.

Not like it will really matter, I have 7 great PFFs and am 99% sure I am getting a full-time offer. Just tired of people's bullshit.

I'm a Health and Safety instructor where I work, it's one of the hats I wear anyway, and I can't count the number of times that somebody has taken what I said, gave the wording a twist and a turn and refused to do something under the pretense that I said so. I have to answer for it the other person tries to act all "Oh I guess I didn't understand what you were saying" when I call them on it and in the meantime they have been sitting around with their thumb up their backside while the mess is sorted.

I think we all know what the motive really was - work avoidance, and unfortunately it works so effectively that now they put either management or another instructor in all groups to avoid the finger pointing.

Pathetic

C'est la vie

I work with a guy like this. Finally the boss is on to the antics of this particular turd.
The rest of us on the shift would not stoop to his level which I guess let him perpetuate his crap. After we'd all had enough of it the bosses eyes were opened by a few well placed comments here and there.
Just sitting back now waiting for the guy to hang on his own rope. :hooray:

My problem at almost all the jobs I have held in my life (even school was this way), is that I am a very good worker. I do a lot and try to get the most done possible, so it sets a sort of precedent. I am expected to do do more than the others. So, here I am, working my ass off, doing twice or more work than most everyone else, while they sit on their asses avoiding any real work until the bosses come around (when they proceed to LOOK busy). Then, when I actually NEED a break from doing all that ACTUAL WORK, this is ALWAYS the exact moment the bosses see me "just sitting there with nothing to do" (AKA, taking a damn break), and I get some sort of reprimand... All the while the other asshats are laughing and continue on their busy schedule of avoiding work, while I get stuck on Supervision...

I'm just sick and tired of being the guy who does all the work, yet never gets any recognition or credit. I also HATE people who take the credit for something YOU did, or they snitch/lie about you to the bosses... No one has morals, integrity, respect, honesty, or a good work ethic anymore. And when you DO have those things, you get "thrown under the bus" or fired (as in my case). I think one of my problems is, I always give people the benefit of the doubt, and figure that most when given the choice will do the right thing. Too bad that is just a fantasy world, and the Golden Rule I strive to follow means nothing to the majority.

Screw 'em all... :rant2:

Bro... I'm gonna chuck in my 2 cents.
First off, I'm not trying to start anything or slag you off, just giving you my views. Feel free to read it, feel freer to ignore it.
I've dealt with loads if these report type things. Written them and had them written about me. As soon as anyone gets a bad report written about them, they get really defensive and totally ignore what the person said. If you go to any office and ask 10 people, they'll all swear blind they work twice as hard as everyone else.
Personally I like the bad reports. (you have to understand I'm not counting the ones written by wankers who just moan and write shit about everyone). If you write a postive.. "he's a really great guy, part if the team, hard worker" etc it teachs me nothing about myself, so how do I improve? The "bad" ones actually show me where I'm going wrong, I just have to be man enough to admit they maybe right. Not always the case. The truth is, the ones who write the standard "good" reports are actually the people who are chatting shit about you to eachother.
Now personally, I know nothing about how you work or the job you work in. But if you read the bad report with a impartial view, then maybe (and only maybe) he maybe right about you. I'm not for a second saying your lazy, and I'm sure you do your work then ask everyone if there is anything else you can help them with. But maybe, the guy is right? Maybe you can be more proactive with your team, and let them know if your near to finishing, that way everyone works as a team and ultimately works more efficiently. If that's the case then maybe you can use that to improve and ultimately be better? If that's the case.... Then is that a bastard thing to do... Or is that guy the only one who really respects you? And really being a friend? It's not always easy to say shit like this face to face.
Ben, seriously, don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not for a second saying this is the case or you're shit at your job, or have a bad work ethic. I'm just saying that often times a "bad" report written by an ass is actually the only useful one written by the only person who actually cares

Well, at my last job, my boss (who loved me) had to do performance evaluations. She told me that HR got mad at her initial reviews, saying she scored some people too high (me being one), and made her redo them. They also said she wasn't ALLOWED to give people any higher than a 3.5/5 in ANY of the categories! HR can go lick a sweaty nutsack...
