Yet another lame co-worker

So I just started this second job a couple of weeks ago and it turns out that a girl who is working the day shift is one who falsified records at another job I had at this same company, in order to make it appear as though she'd done slightly more week than myself even though she missed a shitload of time. (these numbers won't mean much but I did something like 1500 records, some other guy did 400, and she did 350, then switched things up in the database because she knows Filemaker and gave herself 1100 and me about 1000) She spent most of her time on the internet dealing with her music career.

Also while on this previous job, her mother passed away. It was a terrible thing for her, obviously and I'm sympathetic. HOWEVER, everything that happened at the previous job (i.e. her being caught surfing the web instead of working) was chalked up by herself to "dealing with my mom's business" and that sort of thing.

Another co-worker of mine who started last week had to leave her position because her grandfather passed away and she had to go back east for a couple of weeks. In a meeting, this girl brings up that fact and asks "should we send her a card?" We all agreed we should, and then she goes on about how her mother died and it was rough on her, getting the sympathy vote. There were a few murmured "oh I'm sorry to hear that" responses, which apparently wasn't enough, because after the meeting was over she was over to my supervising producer here and again asked about the card for the co-worker, then five seconds into it started going on about her late mother and blah blah blah.

Okay, this girl is very NICE. She "goes out of her way" to be nice. She's trying to project this reassuring hippie-earth mother sort of thing. But she's also clearly INSANE, because she doesn't do any work, and she hangs onto jobs at this company because she keeps busting out the sob stories and "connecting" with people who hold sway over her job security by being very nice and very "open" and telling them these stories.

It pisses me off because it's abundantly clear to me that she's been using this tragedy in her life as an assist in her career, and it pissed me off more that she used this other co-worker's tragedy as a way to ingratiate herself in a not-so-subtle way with the higher-ups on THIS show. Because she NEVER talked about her mother unless it was being used in a situation other people would normally a) make lame "car broke down, sorry I'm late this morning" excuses or b) she was trying to make herself "known".

fuck, I hate that shit.
