How to deal with toxic coworkers

Hello all, this is gonna be a rant kind of post. So I started this job back in May, working in the kitchen in a LTC facility. My coworker is a toxic person, she thinks just because she’s been there the longest that she has authority over everyone. It’s her and another coworker who thinks that they can talk to everyone however they want, being disrespectful and rude and making snarky comments. For example one minute they’ll act like they’re your friend and act nice and cordial and the next day they are the complete opposite. My toxic coworker asked me if I was working on my day off which I replied I guess not cause I’m off. And she was like you were just off though. I was off the day before and I was off again. And so we made a deal that we were gonna switch days…


Hello all, this is gonna be a rant kind of post. So I started this job back in May, working in the kitchen in a LTC facility. My coworker is a toxic person, she thinks just because she’s been there the longest that she has authority over everyone. It’s her and another coworker who thinks that they can talk to everyone however they want, being disrespectful and rude and making snarky comments. For example one minute they’ll act like they’re your friend and act nice and cordial and the next day they are the complete opposite. My toxic coworker asked me if I was working on my day off which I replied I guess not cause I’m off. And she was like you were just off though. I was off the day before and I was off again. And so we made a deal that we were gonna switch days with each-other because I actually wanted a different day off mind you this wouldn’t happen if she hadn’t asked me if I was working on my day off. She then goes ok well I have to come in for you because you’re gonna be off and that puts me on the schedule for 7 days in a row. Like..didn’t you just want me not to be off the next day and now you’re complaining? It makes no sense. And she constantly complains to me and others that she has to work on her days off because our boss calls her in. Well that’s not even my fault or problem. Our shift together is often short handed, she complains when the two workers who work night shift which is me and another lady are off. Like we need days off. It’s not my fault she can’t set boundaries between work and her life. Also it’s not my fault that we’re short. And when I’m working if I make a mistake she makes a huge deal about it and makes me feel like I’m incompetent of my job just by the way she talks to me. If I’m even 2 mins late from my 30 min break she makes a big deal about it. She likes to micromanage me and others. There’s a lot going on at this job and I’m not sure how much longer I can take it. Some days are good like everyone’s in a good mood and the others are hell. But it’s the first time I’m actually being paid a decent wage as sad as it is lol. I think that’s what’s keeping me there. But enough is enough. I think I need to quit for my own sanity but I don’t know if I’m being over dramatic..
