Antiwork

I like fun sarcastic comments I think it’s a good way to bond with people. When that’s said my coworker seems to have a problem with me. she constantly mocks me and makes fun of what I’m saying during a conversation. Like what I am saying doesn’t make sense.

I work for a corporation whose IT department sucks. Our phones are down at work and they expect us to transfer all calls to our cell phone. Would you do this?
