drama triangle

I want off this ride.

Andrea had ONE half ass conversation with Whitney who did EXACTLY what I said she'd do (posture) and she's all "I feel like this will be great. She admitted she knows she tends to overstep, and" blah blah fuck my life.

She is so idealistic because she's conflict avoidant.

And she keeps bringing up this "I just want us to be able to work together, no matter the personalities"

Yes. You mean the same thing I have ALWAYS said.

Yesterday, I figured out that I'm in another Drama Triangle. 

I never finished my entry because I was pissed. 

Andrea came in this morning to tell me this brilliant idea she had and wanted my thoughts on. I kept politely finding ways to shoot it down and she was adamant about doing it.

So once I pulled up what I was talking about she realized Whitney wasn't honest with her. I asked her to specify and I said "yeah, no. That's not what we discussed" Also, you know me. What the fuck? Why would you fall for that?

And once I showed her everything and went over everything AGAIN, it started to click and then she said what she really wanted-- she doesn't want us to be blamed if that fails.

Well she has everything she needs to send out reminders once a month. And if it fails and she blames us, I have record as to why it should not. 

I told her if that's her concern, it should all be concerning because this is no different than training Tatum to take over that task.

She agreed and had to concede. And THIS is why I created the paper trail because Whitney is a fucking liar and manipulative as shit.

And then once Andrea realized she'd been got and she had to admit that she didn't know that because she didn't know how things worked. Which, duh thank you for admitting that BUT ALSO why the fuck would you even entertain her ideas about a system you're unfamiliar with?? And why would you proceed to underhandedly get the information you need to make an informed decision from me by trying to manipulate me into changing a process that should work without fail when you already don't know how it currently works??

She fucking played you, you let her, and then you tried to manipulate me into doing what she wants.

And then she proceeded to tell me what else happened in that short meeting with Whitney and how it was not kosher and she was asking for stuff she doesn't need. 

AND THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT. Because Andrea will sooner but bullshit than fight for what's right and I'm not safe in those conditions and neither is she. 

The difference is, she's fine with that.

And you're doing this shit for Whitney right now WHEN I NEED YOU TO REVIEW THE NEW PROCESS I CAME UP WITH ON MONDAY TO HELP YOU IN YOUR DEPARTMENT.
