[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millennial coworker (very junior) who takes a lap around the cubes and offices most days as if she were the boss, telling everyone they are doing great, they are a star, they are amazing, keep up the hard work, etc.   She has no idea the quality/quantity of anyone else's work, and no one cares what her opinion of us is.  [/quote]

There's a very junior person not in my department who randomly sends me emails with ccs to everyone saying "Great effort!" and asking "Do you have enough work to do?" and similar things.[/quote]

Ugh. I have one girl who is on my team and calls me periodically and says shit like "Oh wow John, you have a beautiful soul. I'm serious. It's beautiful. When you talk you just inspire people and I'm so happy you are coming to our team meeting next week. Everyone is so excited to see you." I try to explain to her I'm not beautiful - not on the inside or the outside - and none of what I think matters, nor should it to these people. She just goes on and on "oh no it does matter. You are an inspiration."

She's so fucking awkward.[/quote]

Ha the same person who sends "great effort" emails also feels it necessary to send around "inspirational takeaways" after mundane meetings we are in together.[/quote]

At my old job, a manager in charge of the millenials would send "inspirational" pictures to them and would schedule 7:30 a.m. calls to talk about Harry Potter and how they can learn lessons from the series on doing better at their low-skill job (some of the millenials were into Harry Potter).  It was a show.[/quote]

Wow... what the hell. What kind of work places was that?

And ew to the inspirational speakers. I don't understand that at all. Some people have no self-awareness I guess?[/quote]
