My drama queen paralegal is driving me nuts....

[bw1]

HR needs me to hold her

Put a quarter on the floor of her office. Leave a note that says "You will be gone before that quarter is".

^^ What he said.

If any subordinate of mine EVER caught an attitude with me for me asking them to DO THEIR JOB that would be their last day. period.

and begging to get fired, IMO.

She walks around like she is pissed off all the time. So, I ask the other paralegal if she knows if something is wrong with her. She said that all she does is bitch all day long about how no one appreciates her work and she has too much to do, etc. This is crazy. We are all busy, but we have a VERY friendly, relaxed office. This chick just loves DRAMA! She is constantly on the phone mad at her kids or husband and just keeps things stirred up constantly.

I just walked a pleading in to her to package the suit together to go off via overnight mail. She slammed it on her desk and sighed. I told her, "I'm sorry, but I just got the docs to prep that suit this afternoon and as you know, I need them to go out the same day."

I think she is really being insubordinating. She better watch her step. I'm very friendly, but I'm getting sick of her shit.

Plus, she uses the "n word" from time to time, despite my telling her not to do that.

She also tortures us with talk about her sex life.

Good God.

Today I was in my office and one of the people that work in the office walked by my office and made an off color remark. I heard her and said, "excuse me" she said mind my own business. I walked into the room said pack your shit and wait in the lobby for the 11 hours you worked for us. She said You can't fire me who are you.

The girl was escorted out of the building with her check.

Never allow any employee to cause even one minute of drama. If you talk about it on this forum she should already be gone before your screen saver goes off.

Any questions I will be happy to visit your office for a large fee and deal with your staff.

how many threads do you need to make about this before you fire her?

 

[nimbus]

talk to her about it in a calm and relaxed manner, before things get out of hand and it becomes impossible to discuss without an emotional outburst. Maybe she thinks she can get away with it, but will change if you address it

 

[heatherrae]

Stop whining!
I mail out my own pleadings.

LOL...you're still a law clerk. You have far less of them to do. ;-)

Still, you package complaints (making all the copies, printing summonses, etc)? I never even did that when I was a clerk. I had the secretaries do that part.

Woah! That is pretty funny that she didn't even know who the boss was and told you to mind your own business....lol.
