[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some are good, some are bad.  Like employees everywhere.

If every single admin is rude to you, you need to ask yourself what YOU are doing.[/quote]

OP here. It's just one admin - I've never had an issue with any others.[b] It's refusing to respond to emails, being rude whenever you ask her for anything, spending most of her day chatting, etc. I'm a supervisor and haven't had ink for the printer in my office for close to a year because she is "too busy" to order supplies.[/b] It means I have had to print performance appraisals and other confidential documents on a shared printer and then run down the hall to get them before someone sees them. We have another admin who is very helpful, but she's a contractor, and has to get approval from most things from the federal admin. It's just frustrating to see how much negativity an employee who contributes so little can bring to an environment. [/quote]

But you have to realize that she likely does not really know any better.  Really.  The standard for hiring was pretty low for a while - just a high school diploma and ability to type.  it was a good job for those from lower incomes and no college.  they basically hung out with the other admins who came from the same.   It was really hard for them to see how their behavior was wrong because they watched their peers doing the same thing.  So when you are acting like everyone else, you think your behavior is normal.  [/quote]

Just to keep this straight: People "don't know any better" because they're from "lower incomes and no college" and hang out "with the other admins who came from the same"?

You actually believe this to be true? [/quote]

Yes, I do.  why don't you believe it's true?
