I know it's unprofessional but I get so annoyed when my coworker/work bestie is nice to the girl I hate at work. I get that my work feud isn't her work feud, but still! I feel betrayed 😭. Anyone else have a work nemesis?

Yeah I have strategically become friends with my nemesis so I can stab them in the back at the most opportune time

That happens on both sides. Too much drama tho.

No I feel the same way. Like why are you acting like we don't hate her lol.

Yes,but I can't pick people's friends for them I can step back from all of them.

I've had this issue before, but when push comes to shove, it's none of my business. We all go to our separate lives after work, which is why we are working in the first place.

I work part time for a startup for equity and am attending an event on behalf of the startup. I’ve only been here a few months and asked multiple times to have a prep meeting with my boss. He instead sent me a 15 page document outlining 40 questions I should be able to answer the day before the event.
