...Just having a bit of a rant im afraid....why dont people care? In my experience these days people are pretty heartless and only think of themselves and that upsets me.

I work in a small office and I just so happen to be alone today so I am being given someone elses jobs to do in addition to my own and I am still expected to do my own job in full !

People just dont bother saying please and thank you (especially where I work) and to be honest Im noticing it more in todays society too!

And I am always the person where I work that tidys around after everyone else eg the kitchen is tidy when I leave it when I go back its a mess and the same if I am not in for a day (mainly male environment only us two girls where I work and she is off today)

GRRR

Does anyone else find this??
If anyone is wondering what I am doing on Yahoo Answers when I am at work...I pose the same question to you. I do work very very hard

I just cant stand people not saying please or thankyou or tidying up after themselves when they have made themselves a drink.

(also to add) our bosses have said if we dont keep the kitchen clean and tidy after ourselves they will take the facilities off of us hence the reason why I do it (but it still annoys me that I appear to be the only person doing it)!!!
 
first things first. take a deep breath. another. okay, now were gunna have a reality check... People can be ASSHOLES! yes i said it. its true. I am not referring to anyone in particular. everyone has the right to be an asshole from time and again. I personally am a very friendly person but i can be a real asshole when i want to be. you can blame raising, environment, bad day, or bad life...just take it with a grain of salt, and remember, its not your fault that people are the way they are. as for the only one cleaning thing, girlfriend, i hear you loud and clear on that. post a sign that says "your momma don't work here, clean up after yourself." if you get your facilities taken away, i would move and protest that your coworkers buy you starbucks every morning for a month. that will teach them. take the reins.

good luck sweetie.
 
There is an easy solution - STOP tidying up after them - they will soon realise there is a problem
 
I think the fast pace of life is not leaving time for a lot of things that use to be important, one being good manners and showing appreciation for others. So many see others as what's in for them and take advantage however they can.
 
I am with you, I stoped and relised people begun to clean after them self.
The problem is when my work depends on the work of others and I have to double check over and over again that'is correct.
As if I don't have mine to do.It's like working with a bunch of kids, I lately wish I was a teacher, at least if they act unresponsibly they have an excuse:they 'r kids.
 
Why are you doing those things begrudgingly? Develop a spine and tell your boss you WON'T be doing anyone else's work as well as your own. DON'T make the drinks or tidy up the kitchen are.

If however, you're an office junior, you're stuck with doing the crap, until you better yourself
 
I have just copied your question and asked my friend at work if was her that sent it, as it is exactly the same as in our office.

When we are both then everything is fine, but when one if us is off, we have to cover each others work. Its a good job we get on really well though, this means we're able to communicate about things.

I know what you mean about the kitchen too, we have a dishwasher, but people (again mainly male environment) leave their dirty cups etc on top of the dishwasher instead of putting it in it.

Is there anyone you can talk to, just to say you feel unappreciated?
 
Seems like you must have lots of extra time if you are playing on Yahoo Q&A and doing everyones jobs, and cleaning and just being so busy. Cheese with your whine??

I'm not stealing time from my boss, BTW, I am on my own free time, thank you very much.
 
i work in an office of all men aswell. i find i tidy up alter them but i accept this as the way things are.

if you really hate it that much stop tidying up or accept this is how it is because they wont change and suddenly start tidying up.

as for having to do some elses work. go to your manager and explain you are having difficulties when another persons job is put on or shoulders. How are they meant to know you trouble doing your work if you dont tell them?
 
You are not responsible for other peoples actions, politeness, carelessness and so on. you do not and can't know what goes on in their head. follow what works for you. Do your share, as long as your happy with who you are and what you do and how you look at life, because there are a lot of miserable people out and around us, be happy that you can be a great example, and that they are in a different place than you are :) So good for you because you good!, when you act like them, you are one of them.
 
yes no manners any more! however if you look hard enought you will see them there just harder to see when you focus on them not being their!

don't get me wrong it's there but if you focus on it your only going to see more and more!

it's easer to blame someone else and not give care to others i see this at my works kitchen! it may be a mean prank but find the one or two people who leave a mess and just pick it up and put it on their desk or work area!

i would hate to see their homes!

we dont' have that we have a hand full of Moms here that clean up after the kids! (other lazy employees who think their job is too good for them to clean up after them selfs)

good luck! as hard as it is just look for the good in it!
