My job title is "technical reviewer". We hired a second person for this postion about 3 months ago. My boss asked a co-worker and I to sit in on the 2nd interview, but didn't ask us our opinion before hiring her...we both would have said no way.

So now I have to share an office with her and train her. First, her favorite phrase is "been there, done that, got the T-shirt" Okay, I think I said that is grade school!

Second, she has a mullet!! Long stringy, looks like it used to be permed, in the back, bad dye job, very 80's

Third, she does not listen at all! I will give her background on a test, tell her what I know the status to be, and ask her to follow up with the lab to see if there is any new information. She will spend 15 minutes on the computer, and repeat back to me what I just told her!!

She also says she will do things, then sets them aside, so I end up doing them anyway. She has told, our manager "No" when he asks her to do something. PArt of her trianing I have told her she needs to spend time in the lab. Our supervisor has told her she needs to spend time in the lab. Our manager has told her she needs to spend time in the lab. Has she spent any time int he lab? Of course not!! She spends all her time on her computer, trying to create these databases that will fix things in the lab. HOW DOES SHE KNOW WHAT NEEDS FIXED, WHEN SHE WON"T GO IN THE LAB???

Okay....deep breath. Sorry for my rant!!
