Since coming back from the shutdown, though, I’ve lost all patience for walking on eggshells around a very insecure / touchy / likely ASD colleague who doesn’t understand our office’s work (think: he can sign a contract, but couldn’t tell you what the contract means, even though a person in his job should be able to).
Instead of coming back to work extra refreshed, I’ve instead come back without any motivation to continue to navigating how to work with this difficult person. I know my options are to suck it up (my boss knows broadly about this dynamic, though not all specifics) or find another job. Just venting, I guess.
Who is this person's supervisor? Do they know they are like this? Why aren't they on a PIP and a paper trail out?
As a taxpayer, this is exactly the dead wood that we wanted removed. Someone who can't tell you what a contract means?
This is why people supported DOGE going in and wreaking havoc. Because the gov't couldn't purge these people on their own.
Of course I don't support anything DOGE did, but just trying to explain cause and effect here.
