It seems that in every workplace there is the one lady that everyone knows not to piss off, to tread lightly, to make her feel special and I could go on and on. I often see these girls with pictures that say things like "Boss Bitch" or "Bitches Get Things Done" and while those things might be true, it's not the only way to operate as a woman in the working world. There is a big big difference between being a hashtag boss bitch and being just an outright miserable to be around bitch. If you can't really tell who fits the bill in your workplace, it's probably you. It's harsh, but it's the truth. You are the one they warn new hires about. This is a great layout of the types of bitch in every work place, which one are you?
The Not-a-Bitch may have an unfortunate or disagreeable manner, but is just trying to do her job.
The Incompetent lacks knowledge, work ethic, and awareness. She makes you do the work for her or takes credit for your work in order to make herself look good.
The Liar has mastered the art of excuses, quick fibs, and charming manipulations.
The Screamer cries for attention, yells to intimidate, screams to insult, and then yells some more for good measure.
The Narcissist is a self-serving ego-centric mean girl who expects everyone to admire her. She doesn’t care about the good of the company, only about looking good, and expects you to feed her ego.
The Toxic is a two-faced game-player who should never be trusted. She’ll suck up to you and be your best friend one minute, then gossip about you the next.
The Insecure micromanages everyone, trusts no one, and thinks that no one knows better than she does.
The Excluder sees other women as oxygen thieves if there is no personal gain from communicating with them. She can pretend you don’t exist and fail to pass on important information
I hope this brings you some perspective and helps you navigate the office place mean girl.
